You may not remember, but we spoke to you guys for a little bit at Monolith last year. Could you get us up to speed on what the band has been doing?

Well, we just released an EP in April, and right now we're just trying to tour behind it and stay busy. For the most part we're just trying to stay on the road and try and support this album.

Have you already been on the road with some bands?

Yeah, we just did a tour with Forecast recently, and we're about to go out with this band The Audition.

Is the band working on an LP to follow the EP?

We're home right now and we're writing. We plan on doing a full-length and having it out by March of next year. We're deep in the writing process and about halfway in to the full length.

What is going to be different about this LP, compared to the EP?

We're going to incorporate more electronic things, like beats and keyboard stuff. And I guess we're just focusing on melodies for singing parts and working more on guitar riffs. As time goes on, we're spending more time focusing on songwriting and putting together awesome things as opposed to just screaming our way through it. We're just taking more time on the songwriting process all together.

Have you played the Westword festival before?

I want to say we played it three years ago, and the last couple years it came around we were on tour and unable to play it. We're stoked to do it again. I remember it being a lot of fun. It's a good thing for Denver and there are a lot of awesome bands doing it. I'm really excited about it.

For people like myself who aren't going to be in Denver, could you explain what it is, exactly?

It's all in south Denver. There's an outdoor stage where the national bands will play, and there's about four other venues in the same area where local bands will play. It's a day thing - it starts at noon and goes all day long. You just kind of bounce around from venue to venue watching bands. I guess it's like a little SXSW where there's venues all close together and bands constantly playing...and tons of beer and stuff. It's great.

Anyone you're looking forward to seeing?

I'm really excited to see Cursive and Built to Spill. Both of those bands are big influences on us, so it's gonna be pretty neat that they're bringing in bands that I totally care about.

What's it like being a Denver band? It seems like there are a lot of opportunities for musicians. Not just this, but Monolith, which was a great festival. It seems to be pretty music-oriented, even though people might not think of Denver as a musical destination per se.

It definitely is. Over the last six years that I've been in Denver, the scene has been growing rapidly. It's really good to see. I felt right away when I moved to Denver that it was a big music town, and I think a lot of national bands are seeing the city as a big market. People here love music, and they love going out to shows and dancing and having a good time. That's definitely something to value, and it just keeps getting better and better.

What would you like to achieve with your band in the future?

I really want to go oversees; I want to play in the U.K. Our video actually just got picked up by MTVUK, so I'm hoping that will spark something for us. That's kind of my dream.
