Hi Dan, got my phone on I think… Testing Testing Testing 123 (Laughing) Haha I was wondering how you juggle being two bands with all the tours and practice etc. It is sometimes a little hard but I figure it out, you know right now with Zebrahead (pronounced ZEEEbrahead) we have a little downtime with tours and we are actually writing a new record and the tour with DBS is only 12 days so I thought ok I can be gone for 12 days so I’ve did that and it was easy. ZH has not been touring much at all, we do a couple of shows now and then, so that is easier. And SW! (Laughing) So when you are writing, is it as a group? Yeah well what we do is go a few different ways, recently in the studio it was just been Ben and I as the others have been
so busy. So Ben and I get the BPM’s, the clicks on the ProTools whatever and write music to it. So we throw ideas back and forward and we have been doing that lately. There are also times where we all get together and get in the same room and write and I much rather prefer that as it is way easier. Is it more pop punk this album do you think? Ah a bit of both, a combination of things, we’ve been writing so much new material, what we are going to do is sift through it and work out whatever is best. Yeah SP do that, they wrote 90 songs for their last album. Yeah that is insane. Most of what we write won’t make it but it is fun writing anyway, like you might write a good part of a new song and that past of the song is great but then you find another part of a different song that is better, you know
