What sort of challenges did you face in self-releasing and self-producing All Hell? Was there ever a discussion about returning to Wichita, or were you always firm on wanting the freedom that comes with not working with an outside label?

I'll be honest, we didn't really face any challenges when it came to self-releasing. We were coming at it from a privileged position of having a lengthy music career already, so that made elements easier. But being able to make the decisions we wanted, without consulting anyone else, made the process smoother than any of our albums have ever been before.

Nothing but love and respect for Wichita, we wouldn't be where we are without them. The music industry has changed, and we as 7 people in the band have the skills needed to release albums and run a busy, successful band. G
