QUOTE
"We've known each other since we were six years old. In the beginning we never argued because we all liked the same music and none of us were real musicians so there was nothing to argue about. Now, it helps that we hang out with different types of people, so when we're not onstage or when we don’t have gigs, we have lives outside of the band."
