BTW: For the debut Washington Square Park album, former Tourmaline member Max Raunch "wanted to create something melodic and hooky with a few dark undertones," he tells P&P. "The last song on the record has a lot of personal meaning to me. It's made my friends cry."
He wants listeners "to come away with the feeling I have when I discover new music that I RELATE with. I want kids to turn on the record and forget about their shitty day by listening to a few songs about mine. :-)"
