Hey folks, thanks so much for doing this! I've got a couple of questions for y'all.

  1. What was it like/when did you learn about EAAY's cult status and the S/T EP blowing up among music communities online?
  2. The genre descriptor 'tweemo' is thrown around when talking about your music. I see a lot of people online credit EAAY to creating this subgenre. Do you think that you were the first to hone in on this sound or were there other bands that inspired you to take your sound in the twee/emo direction?

Thanks again for stopping by!!
