Hi Wil,

Longtime fan of yours, back to pre-SSB when you were just doing acoustic stuff.

Recently there seems to have been a lot of what I can only characterise as "Anti-SSB" comments and murmers popping up in various FB groups and twitter. I can't tell if they're alluding to some sort of specific drama within the Aus music community that you guys are somehow involved in, or it's simply a case of 'tall poppy syndrome' type stuff, but regardless I'm wondering if you've personally seen a shift in the way people treat you and your bandmates now that you guys have gone from playing tiny shows to worldwide sellout tours over the last few years?

Not a question I would normally bother asking a musician, but given that I know that the community that you are a part of generally goes out of their way to talk shit on 'big punk bands' it's probably a valid one.

In general, the way you guys have exploded is exactly what a band should hope for when first starting out, but I know that within this 'scene' that can be seen as a negative thing (mind you, only to small-minded idiots who are stupid, but still - it's a pretty prevailing sort of mentality nontheless).

Thanks all the same mate. Good luck with everything.
