Interview with Mike
"With recognition from Geoff Rickly (Thursday) and tours already completed with Converge and Coheed & Cambria, this simply confirms that if you have not done so already, then you need to check this band out right now!� How did you guys get to the name Pianos Become The Teeth, and what does it mean to you as a band? It was a name that our old drummer came up with, probably in about 2006/2007 and it just stuck. We thought about changing it when all the new dudes joined the band in about 2008, but we just never got around to it.
With The Lack Long After now out in the world, how happy have you been with the response from fans so far? It's been amazing! We didn't know what to expect when we were writing and recording it, but everyone has been amazingly supportive of everything.
You even got recognition from Geoff Rickly (Thursday) so what was that like for you guys? That was especially awesome because we have all looked up to Thursday as a band for forever, and couldn't have been more honored to have them recognize what we have done since they are one of the reasons we play the style of music that we do.
The artwork for The Lack Long After is really cool, so could you tell us a bit about how it all came together? The artwork is a reenactment of Kyle's dad laying in bed when he was bedridden from his MS. The mirror used to stay in his window so he could look outside and see the backyard since he couldn't get up.
