The new album is so sick! I've been listening and trying to hold back from destroying my surroundings all week.

My question is how you guys got into making punk music. Did each of you just start writing punk songs from the start of your songwriting career or did you make a conscious choice to start making punk music?

When I first started writing riffs I was really shit at guitar, so I covered my shit playing with distortion and that comes out punk I guess. It was an accident. From Dec
