5 Quotes by Gabe Borquez

We're more of a raw live band, and we wanted to capture that.

The amps are turned up until the sound breaks. There's nothing fake involved.

Yeah, it's a dry, raw recording. That's what we want people to hear: a rugged--not a polished--album. So much of today's hard core is nothing but trigger drums and Marshall amps. Most bands can't pull off their sound live, so why use that stuff?

It's a lot more warm and live sounding. It doesn't sound crystal-clear, picture-perfect. That's what we tried to avoid, so I'm glad we recorded the way we did. It feels better to us that we didn't have to use a computer to record our songs to get them perfect.

I'm excited. I think we're all excited. We're anxious to get the record out there and let people hear it.
