KC: Recording was a long process. It took months and months of going back and forth to Vancouver and trying to work with Chad’s and the other producer’s schedules. We recorded at Mushroom studios, Warehouse studios, Greenhouse studios. We recorded at something like five different studios.

JC: So which do you prefer, touring or writing?

KC: I love to write. Touring is like commercials and because you play it over and over again you get really good at it. Don’t get me wrong. I love to play.

JC: Now you have a huge fan base and one that is growing exponentially.

KC: We really wanted to get engrained in Victoria and it worked out really well for us because we have a great bond. Radio has been working well. It’s amazing what radio does. I can go out and play ‘Bang’ over and over but once people finally here it on the radio that’s when you really see them clapping. It’s amazing. We use MySpace a lot. Whenever we were going to a new town we would just email everyone and tell them we were coming.

JC: Without using labels, how would you describe your sound?

KC: It’s really hard. We go from a little bit ‘dancey’ to mellow to hard and aggressive. I really enjoy bands that are classic, nothing too offensive or too general. Look at the Foo Fighters. They are a classic example. Look at ‘Learning to Fly’. How pop was that? So different compared to their first album. You get a lot of producers who’ll say ‘you’ve got to find your sound’ and it’s like, can we get over that already? It’s kind of a dinosaur approach because if you look at anyone’s CD collection you couldn’t say it has a sound. So it’s in the rock genre but it can go either way.

JC: Was “Bang” the obvious choice for a single?

KC: Yeah. It was up. It was rock. It got your attention. It was one of the last songs to be added to the CD but with that said “Coalmine” was one of our other pics.

JC: Are the songs personal?

KC: Completely.

JC: They sound personal.
