Yes, we've talked about that a few times. I'm really hoping we can do that eventually. Who likes this idea?

first of all, thanks for being a fan. i'll answer you're second question first. The energy we put out every night is because we try to experience the show in the way you do. we know how hard it is to make it out to shows sometimes and what it costs for a ticket. believe it or not, we talk about that all the time. we feel like we owe it to you guys and it makes it more fun for us to experience the night with you. as far as your first question goes, i hesitate to answer because i know how much unnecessary discussion goes into this question about our band, but i'll try. we've always hated the term "christian band" as it pertains to us. the reason being is that it is very polarizing. if your a person of faith, you might love it because your proud to call our band one of your own. if you're not, it's an easy way to write our music off as something you won't like. to be honest, our beliefs have never allowed us to be comfortable with the latter of those two statements. the one thing i can promise is that this band is going to be honest, sincere, and vulnerable in our music. our faith is something that is a very real part of our lives and thus cannot be separated from our music. bear

Gonna be honest, the search for a new drummer was pretty tough at first. Our original drummer, Joe Stillwell, is a beast and one of a kind. We held auditions and played with a lot of great drummers, but that didn't work out. - Much to our surprise, Randall Harris, the soft-spoken intern that had been getting us lunch every day while we made THE RECKONING is a monster of a drummer. WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HE PLAYED! Crazy how he had been there with us for so long and not once did he show off all his drumming chops... but he knew all the songs VERY well. Which is a good thing because his first gig (ever) was in front of 15,000 ppl. -Seth

I would be retiring from a career in the canadian football league about now probably. other than that, i love building things when im at home.

Recently we've been doing power poses (something we saw on a TED Talk). Simply put, we raise our fists to the sky like we all just scored a game winning touchdown. The idea is that it puts your brain in a super positive space. Try it for two minutes and let us know if it works for ya. :) -Seth
