Soooo first of all, I have literally been listening to Peace is the Mission ALL DAY on repeat at work today. So good.
Second, I wanted to THANK YOU for producing the music that you do...seriously. When I was 16, my family moved from South Miami to the middle of Maryland, and one of the many culture shocks for me was the lack of diversity in music. I was such an anomaly to my peers to be into reggaeton, hip-hop, go-go, edm, punk and indie etc etc. Not just that, but to like to go to clubs and parties AND to stay in and watch Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job, was just like, unheard of for a 16 y.o. female.
And then one day, the music video for Keep it Goin Louder comes on tv.
I know this is like the most ridiculous thing ever, but my perception of how I experience music was changed right then. It was the first time that I felt like all of these worlds that I existed in made sense all at the same time. I KNOW that is so dramatic, especially for a teenager, but really I will always remember that moment. It was so liberating to hear this genre blending that you've mastered and an Eric Wareheim video to go with it.
Too cool.
Okay so Here's My Question in case you don't want to read the above:
I saw you guys gave a shout out on twitter to the band Turnstile and their rockin new album Nonstop Feeling! How did you hear about them? Are there any other hardcore bands you are into right now?
