Q: What was it like when you guys experienced, for the first time, being on the red carpet on GRAMMY night? A: Walking the carpet at the GRAMMYs is something you dream about. It went by so fast that it was a blur, but will definitely be something we will always remember. Being there among the highest echelon of the industry is enough fuel to last a lifetime.  The red carpet and the CAA party the night before were absolutely surreal experiences.  We look forward to both again in 2014 and hope to return to the GRAMMYs again soon as a nominee. Q: What would you say has been the most useful tool in building your fan base over the years? A: Social media, hands down. Putting your music, quite literally, in peoples pockets with their phones is a powerful tool.   Q: Where have you guys toured so far?

A: “After the Crawl” is something we took an ‘outside the box’ approach with. We chose a producer that was a little different than most rock producers. Nick Chahwala got a GRAMMY nod for a Katy Perry song that he did the arrangement for. We thought going down the road with him would help our sound evolve. We didn’t write a rock album. W
