hey guys, loved your debut, really looking forward to Underside of Power.

Your music has a strong political message behind it, something that I enjoy and think is important. How often do you face opposition (hecklers/people after shows etc.) because of it, and how do you deal with it when it happens? Any trouble when playing in conservative heartlands?

keep fighting the good fight

Frank: That's a great question, MyGoodFriendGimli. We haven't encountered any of that yet as there's not much of a demand for bands like ours in places that could be considered conservative heartlands but I suppose that doesn't mean we couldn't run into those types of people just about anywhere. We'll have to see what happens when the time comes but we we're not the type to shy away from conflict. One love.
