This record for the first time - feels like a record that really represents my whole entire life and instead of just a period of my life. And it is really kind of eye opening and it makes me feel really good to hear this record and hear all the years.
A lot of bands have the enthusiasm kicked out of them by playing really dreary pub venues that just churn bands through.
