In a new interview with Rock Sound magazine the boys revealed that after being thrown together so much, they have worked out a way to life with each other that keeps them close and helps them avoid friction and fights. They aren’t trying to trick fans. “It’s a real honest thing that we want to be more than a band to our fans”. We have created 14 characters for 14 songs on the album and those characters are little skerricks of us and what we feel in the songs. If we write a song about being heartbroken, it’s because one of us has had their heart broken. Ashton continued, “This friend of mine said when you are a musician and you are touring all the time and get to the level we are, you’re an astronaut. You go up and then you come back down to earth and you can’t really explain what is like up in space. There was a weird perception of us when we first came out and that’s fair enough, we knew who we were playing to and we wouldn’t change it for anything”.
