00:00On April 15th, we're actually releasing our second full-length album, third original release
00:15overall.
00:16It's called Road Less Traveled.
00:17So April 15th, that drops.
00:18Well, just recently, actually, we had a show in London at the Roundhouse.
00:20Sarah Hyland, who's on The Modern Family, came out, and that was pretty cool because
00:33she was talking about how her and her boyfriend met because they were both fans of the band
00:40and had seen a lot of our videos and could relate.
00:41So on set, they were filming a movie and on set, it brought them together and stuff.
00:42So that was a pretty powerful story because we're huge fans of that show.
00:44Yeah, it's just crazy to think that other talented artists or creators or actors are
00:45out there listening to our music or watching our videos.
00:46I'd love to do Yours by Peter Gabriel.
00:47Yeah.
00:48That one's been a long time coming.
00:49Yeah.
00:50At some point, we gotta do that one.
01:16Anything else?
01:17What are some other good ones that you've listened to?
01:23I mean, we grew up listening to music like that.
01:27You know, we grew up listening to like James Taylor and a bit of Jim Croce.
01:32My dad was a big Iglesias fan, but we were very much influenced when we were younger
01:37by singer-songwriters or vocalists like Steve Perry or Journey and stuff.
01:44But we've done a lot of those classics.
01:49Yeah, I think we'd love to do a new Iglesias at some point.
01:54We've only done one cover in Spanish, but we're all pretty much fluent in Spanish
01:59and our parents are Puerto Rican, which is a Latin province, United States.
02:03So I think doing some more Spanish songs is definitely over-the-top.
02:09What's your favorite song?
02:12For the most part, I think we're pretty blessed that we get on really well.
02:17It's funny, though, because my two favorite bands of all time are Oasis and Kings of Leon.
02:21So I wish, because growing up I would watch documentaries and videos and stuff,
02:25and I was like, man, it'd be so cool to be like that.
02:28I try to mix it up a little bit, but no, we're not like that.
02:33No, I think the difference is that because we're independent and we do so many things
02:38on the business side on our own, if we had that kind of personality,
02:45of creativity clashing, I feel like we'd just implode.
02:51The way we do content, they can have more separation,
02:56where maybe they do the set list and tour, and then they can separate from each other.
03:02But we're posting such regular content and always emailing and texting about the latest idea.
03:07I feel like it would be way too much if we had that kind of creative difference.
03:13So I feel like for us, in this era, this new era of putting out music,
03:18it helps more to get along well.
03:22As cool as that may seem, sexy, that they're fighting or whatever,
03:27it's interesting to talk about, it just would not work for our message.
