A Place To Bury Strangers
“I think that’s kind of neat when you have this sort of conflict of something that’s almost like human that goes along with you on certain rhythm, like a harp. Something mechanical, very machine-like, un-human.”

The Sounds
“It’s our damn responsibility to put on a good show. Usually, if I’m not feeling well or able to sing well, the crowd will sing for me.” – Maja Ivarsson

The Features
“No matter what level of success we are having, we look at the band as a safe haven. We can do this and be happy and not have all of this outside stuff to worry about.”

Langhorne Slim
I’m beyond alright with releasing my songs out there, that’s naturally what just happens. You sit with these things and then you put em on a record and then you gotta move on to the next thing and work towards that. It’s a map of what has been done. What’s more heavy than having somebody relate to something and make it their own? For me that’s a big part of what this is all about.

The Grates
When I’m up on stage I just really want everybody to be comfortable, so then they can have a good time. That’s it. Otherwise it’s just a bunch of people in a room.

“I think it’s fine if people want to think that the music is optimistic. What I don’t want is for people to think that because it might be optimistic and written over music that is upbeat and sort of bright, that it lacks gravity or meaning. I hate Jim Morrison, so if that’s what it means to be dark, then I’d rather be Herman’s Hermits.”

“…you think it takes a certain chip on one’s shoulder – I don’t know, maybe an anger with yourself or an anger with the world – to want to create whatever it is we create? Or can you do it outta pure and simple peace?”

“people can make a lot of money playing indie rock right now. It’s pretty much under the mainstream, right? Like it’s one step under Taylor Swift or something. So that has drawn a lot of people who don’t go with the ethics that I started playing music with in the first place.”

“I love where music is and don’t think we are heading for anything but a better place… This only pertains to rock music.”
