You guys just signed to Rise Records. What were you looking for with a new label? Why were they the right one for the job? We pride ourselves on working really, really hard on everything we do, whether it's a tour, a song, a t-shirt or whatever. We work really hard on everything we do and are really particular about everything we do and have never been a band to kind of sit back and let other people take care of things for us. We wanted to find a label who was going to work side by side with us and be supportive of exactly what we want to do and be able to match our hard work because two is always better than one. But if one is not working as hard or one doesn’t have the same vision it can be a really detrimental thing to a band. We didn’t wanna jump the gun and choose the wrong label and we spoke to a bunch of people and it was hard, but once we met people from Rise, we all sort of looked at each other and were like “Well, this is the one.” They are the hardest working people. The most focused people I have ever met in my entire life. And they just know what they are doing and they get our band, and they know what we want to do and where we want to go and they’ll fully support us in whatever we want to do. It really was a no-brainer. If everyone on the outside could have taken a look on the inside, I think people would have different opinions than they do. Rise was just really the most solid label that we had spoken with so we decided to go with them.   |
