Quotes:
"It's all happened so quick. We haven't had time to settle in to the fact that we're doing pretty good.

We're all just normal guys hanging out on a bus riding around the country."
"We have done three or four songs before we had gone out [on tour], and we're kind of trying to perfect them on the road. There's a song called 'Young Grow Old' and 'Beautiful' that we've been doing for quite a while. Almost right after we finished the first album, we started working on those."
