Read the interview below.

Scott Spychalski: You have put out a lot of music in the past couple of years and have toured relentlessly. Do you ever get worn out, or do you look at it as feeling lucky to be where you are currently, being so creative and having lots of fans?

Peter Hayes: Honestly, yeah you get a little tired, but finally it’s grown out of that, and holy shit, we’re able to survive without huge record sales and record companies … they left us again anyway. Yeah it comes down to fans keeping us alive. There is a certain pride in it now. It’s really sinking in.

Are you where you thought you would be when you first started out as a band? Where do you think you will be 10 years from now?

Ummm, I guess I imagined it would somehow, I don’t know what I imagined … now I’m kinda just happy as fuck. For awhile it just bugged me that we were just judged as outcasts. All the albums have been pretty well recieved. I guess I just look at it as being proud to be an outcast and that we haven’t really caught on with everyone. Somehow we are the biggest little band around, a lot of people know the name but maybe they don’t know the music.
