Punk is not just the sound, the music. Punk is a life-style. There are a lot of bands around who claim to be punk and they only play the music, they have no clue what it's all about. It's a life-style I chose for myself.

(It's) like a Parisian punkette. You know, originally the punk (were) English so it's the French version of punk which means a kind of bourgeois. A little chic, elegant and (some kind of) accident (can) happen.

We call ourselves a punk rock band, but we really play stuff from before there was punk to after there was punk. We're more in the vein of what I would call anti-establishment rock 'n' roll.

We all sort of came at it from weird angles. Most of the guys in the band played rock music, punk rock, before this. I have a degree in English that I don't use very much anymore. That kind of thing is maybe good for serving you coffee in the morning these days. -Rob Bullington

Just because some punk kids talk crap to security guards and old ladies and happen to have skateboards in their hands doesn't mean we're all that way. I've met mean security guards and mean old ladies. Anyone can be mean.

We're definitely hoping for that. And I feel like especially Ryan made more of a conscious effort than I think maybe he needed to kind of get away from that (pop-punk sound).

We're a punk band, not so much from a sound perspective, but I still feel like we maintain a punk approach to what we do. But (punk) is not the most accepting community, it's really rather conservative. So we felt like we had to go against that. -Aaron Warren

That's exactly how we wanted it to be. And I think they knew what they were signing. At this point, I'm convinced that they didn't sign us to try to mold us into something we're not. They knew they were signing a political punk band that had things they wanted to say.

We had traces of our music that could be liked by the punk scene or the hardcore scene, ... But that was what people did with us; they said they could put us out on tour with anybody because 'nobody really knows what you guys are. You got some of this, you got some of that, it will probably work, let's see what happens.'
