YOUR MANIFESTO, A GOAL YOU WANTED TO ACHIEVE, WITH THIS ALBUM: MacMaster - "To express our feelings and thoughts of the last few years of life through our music."
WHAT DID JACQUIRE KING BRING TO THE TABLE?: MacMaster - "Jacqire brought the ability to reach into the soul of the band and bring out the truly captivating moments in recording."
SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT OUR BAND: MacMaster - "We fear God."
MY PARENTS KNEW I'D END UP IN MUSIC WHEN ...: MacMaster - "I dropped out of school."
OUT-OF-LEFT-FIELD QUESTION: WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO BE THE NEXT PRESIDENT (IN 2008)?: MacMaster - "Barack Obama."
YOUR MUSICAL HERO: MacMaster - "Jay-Z."
BEST GIG EVER: MacMaster - "Astoria, London. Opening for The Bravery! We played well."
WORST GIG EVER: MacMaster - "Too many to choose just one! Basically anytime more than four instruments break in one set, which seems to happen quite often with us."
FIRST RECORD YOU EVER BOUGHT: MacMaster - "R.E.M.'s 'Automatic for the People.' I don't actually know if it was the first ever, but it was definitely the first time I wanted to buy a record. I saw some videos and I remember thinking that they were singing about the way I felt, and I was so young. Sounds sad, but I remember it being a pretty nice experience."
FIRST CONCERT YOU EVER WENT TO: MacMaster - "Face to Face. My sister's roommate played in the opening band so I got a wrist band to go back stage and I met the band and everything. It was a serious experience for a sixth-grader. They were all really nice I remember. I think I night have done a stage dive too!"
WORST JOB YOU'VE EVER HAD: MacMaster - "Gap. I got a job there only cause I knew I could run the hustle. I found out that Gap would take returns at any store without a receipt. So I asked for the closing shift and at the end of every night I would steal a leather jacket. The next day I would have a friend return the jacket at a different store. I would come up on a lot of money each week. Though it only lasted till I was caught and fired. I almost got put away."
