"Probably the most important element of me in joining a band is whether or not I get along with the bass player musically. I usually end up being real tight with the bass player on a personal level, too, because of that."
~ Mario Calire (From Modern Dummer Magazine)
"There are definitely spots where the vocals do their thing, but there are also spots where the bass line is very important, even though it might mean noodling in the high register and coming back down. Songs like "Bleeders" and "One Headlight" are built heavily on the bass."
~ Greg Richling (From Musician Magazine)
"Peoples biggest misconception is that this life is really glamorous. They don't see you getting off the bus at 5:00 in the morning, and stumbling into the hotel, feeling like hell. That's the reality of it. But I have nothing to complain about. I feel very blessed at what I'm doing, and I don't take any of it for granted. This is my dream, and I'm living it. I always wanted to go out on the road and play music and do like my dad did."
~ Mario Calire (From Modern Drummer Magazine)
"You mean do I notice a lot more fourteen-year-old girls because of our video play? I notice a lot of that, but it's mixed in with the returning core fans. The first layer up front is the screaming fourteen-year-old MTV crowd, but who's to say that these people buy records for the wrong reasons? It's pretty bold to say that because somebody is young they don't have a clue. Young kids discovered the Beatles, and nobody's saying those records sucked."
~ Greg Richling (From Musician Magazine)
