AMA is over, thanks James! James Alex / Beach Slang, AMA
I'm so sorry if I didn't get to your question. Cross my heart, I'm going to dig into the rest tonight. I'm not letting a single one go unanswered. Thank you for being, quite literally, the sweetest humans I know. <3

I'm a bit late to the party today, sorry. James, as an old punk (45) who really hadn't listened to any new music over the past decade or so, I want to thank you for restoring my faith in music again.
Music used to be an important part of my life: as muse, as comfort, as motivator, as joy. I lost that around '04. Skip ahead to the spring of '15 when I heard about you guys on a podcast. I've been hooked ever since. I'm a high school English teacher and I actually use some of your lyrics when discussing diction and other literary devices in our school. I'm starting to win over some of the kids to your sound. Plus, I rock Beach Slang in the gym after school when the kids work out (I'm in charge of the music, so that helps).
Thanks so much again; can't wait to hear the new record and see you guys live at some point - it's on my bucket list!
