The Palladium in Massachusetts and the Webster mainstage are some goals we have for the near future. We'd also love to start playing outside of New England.

Currents, Trivium, Rush, The Wiggles, Killswitch Engage, Linkin Park and all the local homies.

Nothing too crazy yet, we'll get back to you though.

13. What do you think of your fans?  

We love seeing them come out to shows and we're excited to keep meeting new ones.

14. What do you think of our site? 

We think it's awesome that there's a place for smaller bands to get their names out there and appreciate all that they do for the scene.

15. Something add?

Behind Closed Doors will be out soon and after that we plan on hitting the studio within a few weeks with a new EP. Also thanks so much for interviewing us!!
