First off, I love the new album. It’s been on non-stop repeat for the last week and a half (I got my pre-order early… and also maybe a shady internet copy slightly before that).

Sean, you said once in an interview that you got into social work through volunteering at a suicide prevention hotline. Your background in the field definitely comes out in your lyrics. Did your experiences with social work drive you to start writing music? If not, did your job change the themes or tones of the music you were already making or do you feel that your music would be as socially and politically aware even without your experiences in the social work field?

Ben, bass players are fuckin rad. I know because I am one. When did you start playing? Did you start on upright or transition to it from electric? I’ve heard of bassists in rock bands learning classical upright theory in order to expand their understanding of the instrument. Some say it’s helpful and some say it’s a bullshit waste of time. Do you have an opinion on that?

For everyone, what are your favorite books if you have one?

And lastly, can you guys always tour with Jeff Rosenstock? He should open every show you play and vice versa. You would be unstoppable.

You... remember my name? That's kind of amazing. Not because I think you're a heartless bastard who doesn't care about his fans, but clearly you've got a ton of them. And yes, to answer your question, this is Wes. Same Reddit and Twitter handle. Thanks for the answers and we'll see you on June 2nd. Already got out tickets!

The world has conspired against me ever seeing him live. I've never made it to a show. Last time he toured with you guys he didn't join until like 2 weeks after the Austin show. I was so sad. I cried, probably.

You beat me to it.

Hello Wil!

I live in Texas and my wife and I have been lucky enough to see you guys play a couple times. Once with Hard Girls and once with AJJ (we drove to Kansas for that one). I don't really have a question, but more of a request. If you're planning a US tour for the record this year please bring along Antarctigo Vespucci. It's a travesty that Jeff & Chris haven't done a tour together yet. Looooove the new record! You write and sing like you're trying to cram every thought you're having into every verse and we love it! Hopefully we'll see you again sooner rather than later.
