I love the guys in the band, but wandering around France and standing hand-in-hand on the Eiffel tower with my girlfriend sounds alittle nicer than standing there holding hands with Brett. We don’t have much festivals like Groezrock in the US. You might compare it to the Warped Tour, but that’s something totally different though. Its like this weird rollercoaster of punkrock that keeps on...Tue, 29 Apr 2008 06:59:08 -0700http://www.europunk.net/interviews/218http://www.europunk.net/interviews/218AARON KEKER: Hey everyone!

How do you feel about that? Andy- I just found out about it like 2 days ago. Is it a big deal? Yes Andy- Really?! I guess I’m stoked then because over there in the States we don’t have stuff like this. At the end of the year Revolver will do record of the year and then your publicist will call you a day before they’re going to put the magazine like and are like “Oh yeah well you guys are up for...Wed, 16 Apr 2008 12:53:23 -0700http://www.europunk.net/interviews/216http://www.europunk.net/interviews/216#Hello can you introduce yourselves please?! James- I am James hello. Naoto- I am Naoto. #How are you guys doing? James- Very well today. We are in Brighton and the sun is shining.

Richie- Very well Alex. Toby-We’re having a lovely time. Dan- We’re very well thanks. #Your first release is called ‘Burn the Witch’ why did you name it ‘Burn the Witch’? Toby- It’s a song about burning a witch so the title is not a cleaver metaphor or anything it’s quite literal. The chorus goes ‘We’re going to burn the witch’ so it made sense to call the song ‘Burn the Witch’. Dan- We could call it something fancy and arty instead...Tue, 01 Apr 2008 10:09:56 -0700
