Interviews for Christmas Songs
Dan and Steve have been taking interviews about the new album, Christmas Songs, and thanks to illusionescape we got them here:

Yeah, “Drummer Boy” was curious, especially in regard to our inability to get back to what we originally did in 1995 when we covered it. That was actually one of the harder works on the record, trying to breathe new life into it.

We've wanted to for a long time. Ever since we did Drummer Boy, the EP, it seemed like a lot of our fans wanted us to do a full-length Christmas record. They would ask for it year after year. A few different times, we started to begin one and would actually get something going, and we kept getting shut down, either for just reasons of just us not having the time to make it happen or the label saying 'we've got other records we need to focus on for the holidays," so it just kept getting pushed back. Now, since we're not on Essential Records anymore, we felt that maybe the first thing we should do as an independent band is make a Christmas record for our fans.
