no one ever asks. they just come up to us and say "you guys remind me of touche amore".

i suppose it's all relative. for example, to me, all these raw punk/mysterious guys bands are totally indistinguishable from each other.

I never thought of it that way really. But I guess that's kind of funny.

The other thing these boys like to do is jump on merch tables, kick all the merch off and then jump...
