IAmA (We are) all 5 members of We The Kings! AUA!

What do you guys miss most about ODB?

Old dirty bastard????

I don't have any questions, I just wanted to say you guys are awesome. I hope Charles gets better soon. Fuck cancer! CTFxC FTW.

You are also awesome! But seriously. Fuck cancer. - Danny

Hey guys, big fan since your debut, I've just got a couple of questions.

1. How and why do you think your sound has evolved since your first album, from that sort of classic punk sound to more of a poppy sound?

2. How has the addition of Charles Trippy, the prolific YouTuber changed your fanbase?

Massive fan, I'm incredibly jealous of Travis' glorious, glorious ginger mane.

1. Our music will probably always evolve in the same way that we as humans evolve. I write music whenever I feel inspired... Our first record I was inspired by different things than I was on our 2nd, 3rd, and even 4th albums! I love bands who don't release the same thing over and over and over again...it helps build me as a fan and become even more in love with them. We also want to keep in mind our "We The Kings" sound :) - Travis

2. Charles has been an amazing addition to the band because he comes with an amazing following, but he is and will always added to the band because he was one of our closest friends and we love him like a brother! - Travis

Do you guys think that CTFxC has helped your bands popularity?

Of course it has. He has a fantastic community of viewers who embraced us and come out to the shows all the time. He would also say that the band has helped CTFxC as well. Hes an incredible person that were glad joined the band - D

Do you guys like being vlogged?

It was weird at first when Charles joined the band but we knew vlogging was his thing. He's actually really natural with it. If he were to say something like "Wait...do that again I wasnt filming" it would feel like a chore but that never happens. He's good at what he does.

How many things have you guy's had to cut out of the vlogs?

Hahaha about as much as you'd imagine. We started pranking him for a while. He would be filming a clip and someone would just shout "COCAINE!" in the background. He would just laugh, stop recording and go finish his clip somewhere else. - Danny

Hey guys, thanks for doing this!

Questions:

1. Will you be at Warped Tour '14?

2. What inspired you to write the song "Check Yes Juliet"

We haven't decided on touring yet for Summer 2014...but it's always a fun option when you get invited to play at Warped!!!

Check Yes Juliet was a song I wrote about a girl that I dated...I used to sneak her out of the house every chance I could! - Travis

Hey guys, I'm just saying hi from Jamaica. Love your music. Love your hair Travis and your awesome battle scar Charles, stay strong and keep making good music.

I went to Jamaica once! It has the most beautiful sunset! Coley

I would love to come to Jamaica!!!!! - Travis

By all means come :) just bring sunscreen.

SPF 100, Trav - Danny

Travis, have you thought more on the idea of making your own vlogs ?

I have thought about this, and I guess if there were enough people who would want to watch it, then I would start a daily vlog of some sort :) just tweet me @travisrclark and let me know who all would watch me blabber about life! - Travis

What is your favorite song to play live?

I really like playing the new songs from the new album...it's cool to see how fans react to songs they haven't heard a thousand times before! - Travis

What are you guys going to do with all the extra money?

It costs a lot to make a record and tour on it. Every cent will go towards this album and new Range Rovers (Kidding). But seriously, our initial goal was to have this campaign pay for SOME of the record, not even half, but now its looking like we are going to be able to fully fund this after the 30 days. We seriously underestimated how amazing our fans were. - D

So guys. Is that dildo still on the tour bus? And when will you be coming to the UK? CTFxC +. WTK = THE BEST

I hope Grimis is still on the bus.

It isnt but whats weird is that we dont know where it went. Somebody put that thing in there suitcase and bounced haha - D

Why did you call yourself We The Kings?

We all grew up in the same hometown (Bradenton, FL) and went to school together. Thats actually kind of rare when it comes to touring bands so we thought we'd name name it after the same middle school we all went to (king middle school).

Is friday really forever?

Maybe? What day is it?

Are you guys ever gonna tour australia again? and danny when did you start drumming? i love you guys <3

We LOVE Australia (I was kind of all about that weird Ameristralia thing). I believe I heard talks of us heading over there sometime early 2014.

I started drumming my freshman year in high school. First with drumline then I moved over to the drum set. - D

What's the craziest thing a fan has done to you guys at one of your shows or just in general?

A certain fan got really emotional about us leaving. We had signed everything and taken pictures but she was still unsatisfied. As our bus driver turned on the bus, she dove in the road and laid there so we couldn't move. It was pretty intense for a while but she eventually got up and waved us off. - Danny

Who is more oboxious before a show? after?

Travis is probably the most obnoxious before and after the show. - Travis hahaha

When Charles recorded those bass tracks at Boyce Avenues studio, was that just for demos/pre production? Or are those gonna be on the actual album?

A little mix of both. The whole album is in a bit of a preproduction phase. Some of those parts will be used while others songs have changed a bit since then.

I'm planning my next WTK tattoo, and I want maybe Hunter to write it for me... Up for it? ;)

I would be so down for that! My hand writing is kinda crappy though

What is your favorite song to play live?

It varies. (I) Danny says "Skyway Avenue" Hunter says "Any Other Way" Coley says "All Again For You" Travis says "Just Keep Breathing" and Charles says "Check Yes Juliet"

What's the weirdest item that Coley actually signed?

Oh man...I've signed a baby. That was interesting cause I'm not sure the baby was Into the band! Haha Coley

What is your favourite thing about each other? And more importantly, what are your favourite pizza toppings?

Ill take this one gents.

Coley - Hes the most talented member of the band. He can play all of our instruments well and look like John Stamos at the same time.

Hunter - If we were the Ninja Turtles, he'd be Michelangelo. Party.

Travis - One of the most positive dudes ever. The glass is always full and we can play smash brothers for hours.

Charles - Thats my brother from anther mother and hes probably the hardest working person I've ever met. He does everything we do PLUS runs the most successful vlog on YouTube (Ctfxc). Hes also fighting brain cancer at the same time. He's a champion. - Danny

Hey Coley, if you met John Stamos , do you think that the amazing powers of both of your side burns would implode the earth or make it better?

If I met stamos, we would rage and take over the world! Sideburns would be mandatory fashion

What was your first "holy shit we made it" moment?

Also have you ever toured with, or met, any other bands/celebrities and been star struck by them?

First time hearing our songs on the radio.

And meeting Katy perry

What is your favorite tour memory?

Going to Australia for the first time! I have always wanted to go there

Any chance of a vinyl release of any other albums?

Thats not in the cards as of now but if the vinyl of this album works then it would make sense to release more!

Any tips for an aspiring musician?

Dont stop trying. Its all about about hard work and luck. You cant do it without one of those things. Just persevere. We tried everything until one day our manager found us from a website called purevolume. The timing of us being up there while he was looking is nothing short of absolute luck. We worked our asses off before that and have been ever since.

How do you guys find tour crew like Yoshi, Snake and Josiah? Were they your friends before hand or did you meet them somewhere else and they became part of your band family?

don't forget NerdRock! and they all found us...but they're secretly our brothers from other mothers.... - Travis

Any chance you guys can make my LIFE and play Rain Falls Down at the Wilmington NC show next week ?

I know hunter would love of that happened too!

Coley

What are your favorite meals?

CHIPOTLE. -Travis

Do you guys ever plan on coming to Maine? because you really should :)

Maine is the only state I have not been to! I would love to visit.

Coley

Any chance of one day getting a live album from We The Kings?

I hope soooo!! That would awesome!

Hunter

What was it like having alli on tour as the only girl

Our other wives and girlfriends came out with us as well. It's Awesome they help keep the bus clean

Did all 5 of you go to the same school together?

Myself danny trav and Charles did.. Coley was our teacher

Hunter

When you coming back to London!?

Hopefully soon!! We love it over there!!

Is the new album gonna have Just Keep Breathing, Any Other Way, and Find You There on it? If so are they going to be re-recorded?

Yep!! These songs were recorded for the new album and once we finished them we wanted to release them right away, so if anything they will be re-mastered, but most-likely just the exact same! - Travis

[deleted]

I kicked out mayday parade's window once

Hunter

Any tips on getting through high school? Love you guys!! p.s. get better Charles, love you!

Music. Music has helped me with every aspect of my life.

Where is the one place you would most like to play a show?

I would love to play at red rocks amphitheater in Colorado! Playing Madison square garden would've pretty surreal as well.

Coley

Hello! Seriously love love love you guys.

How do you guys deal with bad reviews/press?

Reviews are just opinions. What's most important is that we believe in what we are doing and the music we create and hopefully that continues to inspire our fans

Will you guys be doing a hometown show at the end of the year again? :)

Of course!!

Hunter

What type of guitar/bass/drums do you guys use?

I use gretsch hollow body guitars with Mesa and fender amps. My green gretsch is myost favorite

Coley

Gibson

Fender

SJC

Is it really true that touching Travis' hair will bring you good luck? Or did you just say that so you could jumpscare people? :) love you all!

Touching my hair is absolutely good luck.....no lies there ;) - Travis

Will you guys ever do a full tour in Canada? One or two stops is okay, but Canada is a big country.

That would sweet! As long as it's not in the winter.. Hah and also with simple plan

I have a question for the drummer ? Danny. Can we write you fan mail ??

Of course! I can think of the address off the top of my head but its in my twitter bio @wethedan - D

What are your hobbies?

Golfing, hanging with family and friends, and going to the beach!

What was the best thing that a fan has done for you?

Supported us as best they can!!

Hunter

Hi guys! You are the reason I got into pop punk music and found other great bands like All Time Low, We are the In Crowd, Hey Monday, Yellow Card and so many others. I just want to say thank you so much for that.

My question, who are some of your favorite bands to tour with?

Taking back Sunday, mayday parade, simple plan, and the list goes on

Hunter

Please tell me you guys aren't fans of the Miami Heat, the Rays is bad enough

I can confirm that no one in the band is a Heat fan. Also, how can you hate on the Rays? We have like 50 dollars to our name and even less fans hahaha - Danny

Any plans on stopping by Guam again?

One of my favorite places I have ever been!!!

Do you guys ever actually listen to the CDs that bands give you outside of your shows?

Yes, I do. I used to hand out discs to my favorite bands when I was younger and always hoped they would listen so I keep up the faith!
