Teaming up with Papa Roach
We played a lot of shows over the years before the first tour, but we did a tour in the United States a few years back, and it was absolutely awesome. It was one of the best tours we ever did in our whole career. Just getting both of our different fan bases together was awesome. I just feel like both groups probably grew a lot just from that alone, so, to be able to get together again with those guys in Australia, it’s our first time headlining in a long time, we’re very excited. I think it’s gonna be awesome.
New music
We’re working on Volume Two right now. We’re hoping to have that out sometime next year, so, we just gotta keep working. We got a few months off, before we get going again, so we’re gonna put a lot of time in right now.

The resurgence of the pop punk/emo scene
It’s bigger than it ever has been. It feels like there’s a whole new age group of people discovering all of these bands for the first time. It’s just a cool time. For the first time in a long time, at least here in the States, rock is more of a mainstream thing than it has been in a long time, you know? It used to be dance music and hip hop reigned supreme over here, and then for the first time in a long time, hip hop isn’t.
