Also, your song 'My Generation' actually featured on the soundtrack for American Pie Reunion, so how did this happen and what was it like to be part of the film and also have your music on the soundtrack? I've been writing music as long as I've been making American Pie movies. I've tried to get a song on the soundtrack of every one of these films. For American Reunion, it was the live show that put it over the top. I played a live acoustic set at the wrap party. After the set, I went to the bar to get a drink and the directors told me, "We have to put one of your songs on the soundtrack."

You've got a couple of UK dates lined up for March next year, so how excited are you for this, and what should attending fans expect? We'll be adding some more dates to our next UK tour in March. During our last tour in England we got signed by Ian Shaw to the TKO booking agency. Ian will be booking our March tour, we have nothing to announce yet but we're hoping to be on the road with some amazing UK bands along with recording a brand new EP for an exclusive UK release.

We've read that you feel rock music is more popular in the UK right now, so can you tell us why you feel this is, and maybe how USA audiences differ for you compared to the UK? After watching the kids jump, mosh and sing along at the Underground Festival that we played in Gloucester, I can honestly say that US audiences seem more interested in taking photos and texting during a concert than actually enjoying the concert experience itself. I know that this'll change if our music becomes more well known but for an independent rock band the UK and European audiences are more open to brand new music.

What else do you want 2013 to hold for your band? Outside of our upcoming EP being exclusively released in the UK, we hope that we can tour there many more times after March. Perhaps we'll even get to be a part of the festivals in 2013.
