2) Give us a brief rundown of your journey as a band from start to Flicker.
The band started about four years ago and almost broke up after two years because of college. We came back together stronger and started touring. We signed with Flicker after playing showcases and doing demos.
3) What's the story behind the single "Live Like We're Alive"?
This was the last song written for the record. It's about pursuing what God has called you to do no matter what. For us, it's about being in this band and giving it our all.
4) What's the underlying message to the album "Live Like We're Alive"?
The underlying theme is hope. Even the darker songs that deal with depression and such are positive and encouraging.
5) Which do you enjoy more: the process or the performance?
It's different for all of us. There are great things about both: creativity in the process and passion in performance.
6) What urges you to make music? Is it only about the music or about what the listeners/fans get out of it?
We make music because we love music. We really want the listener to take more away though, such as being encouraged to press on in their lives.

We all love to play "Live Like We're Alive" because it is so energetic and fun.
