Hedda's Hopper attitude was 'once a Commie, always a Commie. '
For me, hardcore is simply unapologetic music, free of rules. By that definition, we are a hardcore band.
If anything, I feel that the current generation of listeners of heavy music are progressing a bit passed their gateway bands and are digging deeper than they used to and understanding more abrasive and complex music and art. It's like being around an unfamiliar language long enough that it eventually begins to make sense.
Music being “good or bad” is a flawed idea. Artists make what they want to make and we either connect with it or we don't. Just because we relate to some songs more than others doesn't make the others less valid, we just don't understand them. In fact, we aren't meant to, and that's all right.
I don't regret the decisions or direction I've chosen, but I feel it's important to be self aware.
Time is always fleeting and the lunar phases represent that visually for me. What people take away from that and how they apply it within their own lives, that's entirely up to them.
I feel that bands can do whatever they want, after all, they own themselves and the artmusic they create.
I drink wine on stage to sort of loosen my grip on reality a little.
God blesses us so that we might bless others!

Making a book is a craft, like making a clock; it needs more than native wit to be an author.
