friendly for you or not yeah well it was kind of weird because um when we first got started we weren't really accepted into um anything the establishment of the scene or whatever in buffalo so we kind of um with a guy that was managing us at the time a guy named artie he um you know we kind of found our own scene we just made our own scene right you know and then it grew out of that and uh a lot of bands are getting going now and there's a lot of great bands in buffalo

and so cool they're taking your lead then right yeah you know is there anything is there so so let's say then you have a very strong worth work ethic as far as like getting your own band going i mean is that like one of the ideological things behind the google docs are you very spiritual in in theoretical people well theoretically or spiritually what are we talking about here uh no uh yeah sure i guess so i don't know i guess everyone is in their own thing i guess you know yeah i mean because i've read

in articles you guys are you know i've been quoted as saying you know your music is kind of about yeah things are bad around but you know let's make it through let's rock yeah no i guess our motto is uh you know life hands you a lemon throw it at someone excellent excellent so now what have you guys been listening to lately i mean your record um is uh i think there's people already out there sounding like you and i know you guys have been compared to other people but what have you guys been listening
