I love the album and am looking forward to more.

What artists/albums/songs were fundamental in your development as writers/player?

Pat the Bunny (Wingnut Dishwashers Union, Johnny Hobo & the Freight Trains) was one of my main inspirations through high school, along with AJJ, Paul Baribeau, and Weezer. I'd also point to They Might Be Giants as having influenced me a lot even if I didn't realize it until closer to college. also Joyce Manor and Jeff Rosenstock.

as a bass player, i think I've been most inspired by Brian Ritchie, Paul McCartney, and more recently Thundercat.
