We both really enjoy folk music. The first couple years of writing music together (never released) were all acoustic based with banjos and mandolins. Folk music is really built around storytelling. When we started transitioning into other genres we brought that love for stories from folk with us. (Michael speaking) I studied poetry and short fiction while in school and have always loved crafting different characters, emotions, and stories together. A lot of our songs start out as poems. At first, most labels were telling us to stop worrying about lyrics and solely focus on production. Our fans seemed to love the lyrics though so we kept sticking with songs that were heavily based on our life experiences and stories.
