00:00New York is grit, Philly is soul, New Jersey has more passion than you could ever know.
00:07When you're blinded, blinded, blinded, whoa
00:15I think there's a Jersey attitude, and John has it, and Bruce, and we all do.
00:20It's that idea that no one is going to hold us back, we are not going to be laughed at, we're going to be respected.
00:26You go through those records, you go through those lyrics, that's real.
00:29You can't have anything that really hits people unless it's authentic.
00:33There's a difference between Jersey and New York City.
00:36If you're actually in there and involved and spending as much time in both states as I have, it's night and day.
00:43If you drive through New Jersey, you're going to drive through a microcosm of the entire United States.
00:48When you're blinded, blinded, blinded, you can't even see your face.
00:59If you've got a group of people willing to make it their number one priority and go all in.
01:05You want to honor your scene.
01:07Seeing other people do it kind of inspired me to think, yeah, maybe I could give this a shot.
01:13Once you start getting into bands, you share the highest of highs and the lowest of lows.
01:18You are fortunate to be able to make music for a living, and you better kick ass every time on stage.
01:25Eras of artists, painters, musicians tend to crop up together.
01:30We were in direct competition with all the bands from New York and Philly, and it was great, because we won.
01:36It's New Jersey, man. They love their music.
