R- The response has been really good, it kind of comes back to that honesty thing people have been thankful that it's finally getting to a place where it's very honest with my personal stuff not the perspective of someone else.

TM- What was your writing and recording process on He Is We?

TM- How did you come up with your album cover for He Is We?

R- My manager sent it over to me and asked me if I liked it and I really liked it because it's messy but also beautiful.

TM- How do you decide what songs you're going to play on tour? 

R- I base of fans preferences.

TM- What's your favourite memory of watching another band play live?
