We decided to write from the very first day, but it took me a really long time to figure out who I was and what my lyrics could be inside this album. But then I thought why don't I be a soldier in Iraq lying down to die, bewildered, and summing things up. I wanted to keep it simple and use the language someone would use at a time like that.

When we first started working on the album, some people were like "Do we dare take some sort of global, political stand?" Because generally there's music and there's this other thing way over there - politics. But it's become so pervasive, it's all fused together, now so I don't think anyone has to worry. I believe this is good music for people to hear, to help to contemplate our world now. - Preview a couple tracks off the CD, grab tour dates and more right here!
