Nathan - Definitely, we want our music to go to the masses. When we were with Atlantic they wanted us to do another album that was like mainstream and a boyband record and I think that's why we parted ways. But right now we feel like this is the place where God has opened doors and this is something we have a passion for. To be honest sometimes it is a little frustrating, you don't want to be in a Christian bubble because there is a certain Christian mentality that comes along with Christian radio stations or such where they only want a certain type of song played. At the same time we have some songs that could crossover and we are all for that. Some people ask if we are trying to go secular but it's like, what does that mean? Even if we were in a mainstream band so to speak we would still be writing the same type of music, I mean maybe some songs would be different but we are very spiritual people and we write about our spiritual relationship with Christ. At the same time we write songs about life. We have a song called "Life" that talks about life too.
Erin - If you could tour with any artist or band who would it be?
Nate - That's funny because we are trying to do a tour in the spring and we can't figure that out.
Gabe - I think it's kind of tough with us because we are changing in our music and there is a past image and a past perception that we are kind of trying to grow out of, but at the same time we are still trying to keep our old fans but and we kind of want to go in a new direction so it's hard to find an artist that would fit with us. We need to find that artist that we can marry and have kids with, haha I don't know.
Nathan - That's funny because you were talking about touring with Stacie Orrico the other day, what were you trying to say?
Gabe - I'm trying to say that I would want to marry Stacie Orrico.
Nate - He's just joking!
Gabe - No, I'm serious!
Nathan - We don't know, U2, Third Day, Michael W. Smith. We really don't know.
Erin - What is your favorite thing about being on the road?
Nathan - Well right now we don't like being on the road! I'm just joking. Right now we have been on the road for about a month and we are getting to the point where we really want to go home. It goes up and down.
Nate - Not me. Right now, I like it.
Nathan - There are times when I really enjoy it like every night when it's time to do our show. It's kind of bitter sweet because during the day there is a lot of down time and it's a different type of life style. This feels like my home right now but I kind of miss going back to Nashville, but once we get to Nashville I miss being on the road.
Erin - Do you guys have any crazy fan stories?
Gabe - Not recently but one time a fan asked us to sign her prosthetic leg. I thought that was kind of strange.
Nate - She asked us to sign her leg and we were like okay, because we had done that before but then she took her leg off and passed it to us.
Gabe - Our fans aren't crazy, our fans are just weird.
Nathan - Our fans aren't weird! It's just if we have any crazy fans stories they are weird.
Nate - We don't think our fans are weird!
Gabe - Sorry! I don't think our fans are weird!
Erin - What aspirations do you have for the group?
Nathan - I'd like to see our band grow musically, and take it to that next level as far as song writing. We didn't rush this record but we did it within three months or so. I think the next record we'd like to take our time and even spend more time on it and just be really creative.
Nate - Just keep touring. I'd like to see us do a tour that at least defines our band like kind of on the up rise and always going up and growing as a band. Right now the only reason that makes it seem like work is because of what people in their minds think of our band before we actually go out and play. It'd be nice on this next tour to create a new perception of our band. It's almost like a brand new band starting over. So it's exciting. I'd love to be able to establish that and start a new record.
Nathan - Lately it's just been a really spiritual experience onstage and I'd like to see that continue and escalate.
Gabe - I'd like for it to escalate as well!
Nathan - Yeah, that's why we put the escalators on our record!
