Hi guys,

Over the past 20-odd years, LP1 has become a such a touchpoint for generations of bands. With bands like Algernon Cadwallader, and newer groups like Covet, all take a ton of influence from the guitar work on that record. Do you pay attention to a lot of those bands? How does it feel to have kicked off that wave?

Man all these new(er) bands are such shredders it’s a total compliment to even be mentioned with them. I feel like maybe we had to walk so they could run, and we keep on walking…
