Q: How and when did you guys start your band?
A: 10 years since James and Jeff were brothers, they just wanted to become musicians and just kind of made a band in their garage. Then through mutual friends in college and in high school we just all got together and started making music with each other.

Q: Have you guys always wanted to go into the music industry?
A: I think I can pretty much speak for the whole band, but we’ve always wanted to be in the music career and succeed in it.

Q: How would you describe your kind of music? And has your background from Texas influenced it any?
A: Right now, it is more of an alternative county/ southern rock. If you want to compare it’s like The eagles, or the Zac Brown Band, but earlier in our career we were more like pop rock since that was in the 90’s. But since we grew up in Texas, as we got older our sounds changed and matured with us.

Q: How did it feel to release your newest EP?
A: It was really exciting to release new music and especially this for this EP because we only wrote these songs in a couple of weeks basically around a campfire. We just went to a cabin for a couple of weeks and wrote songs that we just felt were right. We don’t really have anything that we specifically write our songs on, sometimes Josh just writes his own ones. Or if it is a Friday night and we just want to write a song to show how we feel Friday nights should be like, then we do! There really isn’t much to it.

Q: What artists inspired you when you are writing songs or wanted to get in the business?
A: We went on tour with Third Eye Blind, Train and the Goo Goo Dolls and those are some important people to us, but also some of the older kinds of music like, The Eagles, The Band, and Tom Petty has always inspired us and our music.

Q: You guys went on tour With the Goo Goo Dolls, Third Eye Blind and Train. How was it?
A: They inspired our music and gave us great opportunities when we went on tour with them. It was also just a lot of fun to get those kinds of experiences and to have people listen to our music.

Q: Since you guys are on tour now, how do you deal with the struggles of being on tour?
A: Normally us five guys would be in a small 15 passenger van traveling around, which meant we have to spend a lot of time together. But we are pretty good at keeping to ourselves when we need to and also we just get along really well. Plus we just got a new tour bus and it’s like a whole new world. There is so much more room for us.

Q: What are some advantages of being a group band rather then a single artist?
A: Being a group is a lot of fun and there are more personalities in it, rather then just being one person. We can show all of our different personalities in during one show and it’s like five of us in one song.

Q:What advice do you have for upcoming artists?
A: It is hard thing to do, what we do, so you honestly just have to believe in yourself. Just keep doing what you’re doing and whatever you do, don’t give up. Also, it does help so have good songs and good music.

Q: Anything else you’d like to say to your fans?
A: We couldn’t do this without you and you guys mean the world to us. We wouldn’t be here without you guys either.
