TO: Last year you released the album “Burn The Ships”, what are your thoughts and feelings about this record now that some time has passed?
BTM: This record has been a huge blessing for us. It’s allowed us to travel the country and reach a lot of people that we might not have otherwise.
TO: When you started working on this album did you have a precise idea or concept in mind?
BTM: About 2 weeks before we went to record the album, we all quit our jobs and moved into a house together, so the theme of the album is kind of “no going back”. We “Burned our Ships” in our lives so to speak and the theme of the songs reflect what we went through when we were doing that.
TO: How would you describe the music style of this album?
