Randy: Well guys, been a year since you’ve joined us! How’s it been so far? We know earlier this year it was a bit rocky but I’ve heard you guys have made good progress with your new drummer!

Shawn: That’s right man, Honestly the reception to that first EP was nuts! I cannot believe we’ve already gotten a platinum record! It's crazy!

Matty: It’s fuckin’ sweet that’s what it is!

Shawn: Haha. Honestly I just need to thank everyone who got the EP! The reception we’ve gotten as a band has been great! It was an honor touring with FC last summer!

Jack: Even if a few things might’ve happened.

Shawn: Yeeaaahhhhh.. Really sweet of Tyler to come down and help finish our dates though!

Randy: Speaking of “a few things” What happened exactly with your former drummer K-

Shawn: Long story- Long Longgg Story. Still can't get over it..

David: I remember the first story you guys told me when I joined was about that day.. You guys left him out in Virginia mid tour!

Jack: Ehh. Well dude deserved it! Lucky I knew better than to break his jaw right there!

Matty: He uhh.. Always kind of gave me the creeps.

Shawn: Shit- Anyway, next question?

Randy: My fault kid, so what's up with the band? Before his. Fuck- “departure” Ill call it for the lawyers. You guys were working on an LP, I heard that’s still in production?

Shawn: Damn right it is! Well, a bit of a fresh coat of paint though.

Randy: Literally, You four spent that budget so fast we had to get a new photographer! Damn kids and their hair spray.

Matty: Haha, I'm excited for this album. Working on it nonstop has me exhausted!

Jack: Honestly, I’d say it’s almost out the gate!

Shawn: That's true, our main issue was re-recording our drum tracks that we had from.. Before, other than that we got back to work for the rest of the year!

Randy: That’s good to know kids!

Shawn: Honestly fuck it I think it’s save to announce it here, our First LP is coming out pretty soon by the time this gets released!

Randy: What are you four calling it?

Shawn: “Our Best Mistake Yet..”! Bit of a double meaning. After all that money on the company card was spent it's a bit of a coin flip. Do we make it back or nah? Haha.

Matty: I love the album cover, Shawn rolling on a craps table. How fitting with how much we’ve spent?

Jack: Hey, we had to sneak that photo in fast!

David: It came out pretty good though I’m really excited to show everyone!

Shawn: Haha, I’ll make sure to email some promotional stuff that the new guy took and clipped together. Mondo’s his name I think? Mando? Fuck can’t even remember haha!

Matty: Heard the guys starting to get stuff done for other bands too! Can’t wait to see it!

Randy: Haha with that said I think that's good boys! Thanks for coming down here. Can’t wait to see this album drop!

Shawn: Thanks man! It’s an honor to come down here, we can’t wait to show you guys what we’ve worked on this past year!
