best song is easily hide your secrets. So much meaning

He wrote this song independently of the record but when he played it for us, we instantly thought it would be a great fit on the record. It was a great anchor for side A, and ended up inspiring track 14 which caps off the concept of the record.

We felt that the words "Arrivals" & "Departures" fit the themes of the songs, as one is about the start of a relationship and the other about the end. We also felt it was cool to reference our previous album title as a way to tie in the concept that the tracks on Side A line up with the tracks on Side B.

Writing the new record was a lot of fun... Billy, Paul Marc and I all carpooled to practice everyday and listened to cool tunes to get pumped up for a long day of writing. We took lots of coffee breaks enjoying each other's company and discussing what we were working on. Over all, a more fun and reflective process!

You guys have helped a lot of bands get big by taking them out on tour with you over the years. Who are your favorite bands to tour with, dare I ask?

Fellas, always great seeing you guys in Portland - haven't missed a show since 08'. Hoping to hear "Vanity and Greed" and "I Knew I Couldn't Trust You" work their way into the set in the near future. Nice work on the new album, the response has been encouraging I'm sure.

Very curious on your thoughts on Issues , and how their response has been on this headliner of yours.

I think I like Place Of Solace the best. That, or Silent Seas. They're all good! What do you like?

Thanks! Had an absolute(punk) blast! Orange County has always been amazing to us

Hey, guys. Love the new record. My question is, are there any songs, new or old, that you really like, but just don't translate well to a live setting?

Been holding out on listening to the new album.

Can't wait for tomorrow.

Also, I love the new record. Thanks for writing awesome songs :)

I always want to play Vanity/Greed. You gotta help me convince the rest of the guys.
