albums where it’s pretty much
the same song just a different
version. That goes for stylistically
as well as the songwriting. Our
first album was more about per-
sonal experiences. The second,
as you said, was more storytell-
ing. This next one has influences
of both. The storytelling that we
have in some of the songs are
completely new topics for us. As
songwriters, we try to find inspi-
ration wherever we can and it’s
very observational. We always
like to write songs about what
we’re surrounded by. A lot of
the songs on this new record are
based on people our age, which
we haven’t really touched on be-
fore. Right now it’s pretty inter-
esting what the Millennials are
going through. Many are strug-
gling to find work or being stuck
in a job that they hate. We’re
around a lot of our friends who
are coming back from college
and we see what they’re going
through. As songwriters, it’s hard
not to write about what they’re
going through. It’s topical.
