dave:that's their deal not mine
carlos:i think they should spend their parents' money on pornography
andrew:i guess it sucks but people get into hc a lot of different ways hopefully people delve deeper into what a band is doing than style, fashion trends and listen to music for deeper thought than for superficial reasons. read our lyrics (and alot of other bands' lyrics) because they have more to say than what the sticker says.
