Drummer Kerry Ryan answers Suzi's questions.

You released a new album "slowburn" in august, what's the reaction been like?

The reaction has been quite good, with our local sales nearly surpassing anything we did with the last album and EP put together. We are very pleased that our fans are still interested in what we are doing, as we continue to change sonically as a band. It proves these people are ultimately fans of the writing, which has only grown with us over time.

What have you guys been up to recently, has it all been fun?

We've basically just been a hard-working rock group for the last few months -- writing and practicing, playing and recording, and most everything in between. And thats always a source of enjoyment for all of us... and of course we manage to get a good dose of real fun as well. As for the future, we'll keep our current schedule until we have another album of material and we will put that out, hopefully on a larger scale than we've done before.

Apart from playing music, what else do you guys like to do?

There isn't much else to do this time of year in Maine -- which might explain the high proportion of basement musicians. I like to get outdoors as much as possible, despite the cold. We snowboard and ice skate.. stuff like that.

What's the longest length of time you guys have been touring non-stop for?

Probably 2 months straight without a trip back home to clean ourselves up.

Is there anything about another bandmate which annoys you?

No one in my band is half as annoying as most of the people I run into everyday.

What do you like most about being in a band?

Coming together with four people to make some music while we all happen to be alive.

What have you been playing on your CD player recently?

Oh.. Grand Funk Railroad, T Rex, The Darkness.

What / who do you think inspires your music?

I think that we are all inspired to help people let loose and have fun. We want them all to be dancing and singing along together. We want to give them a place for people to escape and be free to enjoy life. And of course we want to give them some blistering guitar solos too.

Is there anything you would like to add to the end of the interview?

Glad to be a part of your website!
