• What I love about '80s rock music is the amazing, fantastic melodies. In pop music, it's all about the techno beat to dance to in the club and the repetitiveness, whereas in rock music there is literally, like, balls-to-the-wall singing and playing. I love it.

• We love all kinds of music: We love pop music, we love rock music, we love R & B and country, and we just pull from all our influences.
