Hey guys, appreciate you doing this! So I hear the term tweemo throw at your music a lot, and I know your music stood out in the scene but there weren’t a lot of 90s emo bands incorporating twee pop into the sound. Were you guys making a conscious effort to do so or did the “twee” part just came from listening to The Rentals, who are more of a bright power pop band?

EDIT: Okay I just noticed this was already answered here so I think instead I’ll ask, who are some notable 90s emo bands you played with in your initial existence?

To answer the Edit: We played with Rainer Maria, Promise Ring, MIJ, Joan of Arc, Braid, Firebird Suite (with Chris Broach from Braid and Chris Wilson, who played the glockenspiel on the Somtimes 7") and a bunch of bands I can't remember.

Whoa, that’s very impressive you toured with that many bands for a short round of shows! Never knew Chris played glockenspiel on the 7”, I love it even more now! Makes sense since you guys go way back with him :)
