Q: How did you manage to get suck big acts like Joel Madden and Mark Hoppus on your record?
A: We took them out, got them really drunk and made them sign a paper. Saying they had to sing on our record. trust us, they regret doing it now. Lol. No honestly, they are just good friends of ours and it is truly a honour to have them on the album. We met the GC boys at a MXPX concert 2 years ago and we hit it big right away. We were blown away by the performance, they were so real.
Q: Did you guys play many shows before you were big?
A: We don't really think we're big or whatever. We're just a young band starting out. We played a bunch of all ages shows with local band in Quebec. We couldn't really be on long tours because we had to finish our record, but now we're finally on the road and it's so rad. We love playing shows every night, making new friends and hanging out with people at the shows.This is the reason we wanted to be in a band. This is what it's all about!
Q: Do you have any plans on touring the us? possibly with Good Charlotte?
A: Totally. We want to be on tour forever and hit every city in North America.Were on tour with Sugar Ray right now, its lot sof fun. Pretty sure we'll jump on a few more dates with them so check out our Tour section on the website to get all the details. We would LOVE to tour with GC. That would be amazing! It would be so rad to see them play every night. We're praying for this to happen!!

Q: If you could tour with any band who would it be and why?
A: Wow, thats a tough one! the Beatles, maybe. Or Destiny's Child or Attomic Kitten cuz they're hot! Or maybe Blink, Green Day and Jimmy Eat World. Wink Wink
Q: How do you guys write your lyrics, what inspires you?
A: We just try to write the most honest and real lyrics possible, about our lives, what we went through growing up and what we still go through today. For some reason, we tend to write sad events that happened in our lives, it just felles more important to talk about how hard life is sometimes that just to talk about the weather. Songs like One Day, Perfect, kid and You don't Need Anything are all about how frustrating life can be, how hard it is to fit in and how parents and teachers rarely try to understand who you are and how you fell inside.
