available. And they were interested in doing it and we weren't opposed so that kinda became part of the deal. And now they're doing it. [laughs] So what are you guys listening to these days? Well, let's see. I listen to a lot of random stuff. I'm on a big classic rock trip right now. Lots of The Who from '68 to '75 or so. Lots of live stuff. That's been the last couple of days. I went on a little Yob phase there, and Mike Scheidt's solo acoustic record. And before that, probably a lot of perusing Youtube for Tito Puente. Really old Latin jazz stuff. And the last few weeks its really been just mixing our EP, maybe listening to something for reference, like Deliverance just to make sure we're in the general ballpark. Listen to the self titled, the odd song but not listening to much. Letting my ears cool down. After 30 years, CoC can be considered an influential band, but where do you find influence yourself now? The combination of melody and power in something like The Who is kind of a cool reference. I mean, the more we try to look forward, we tend to look backward for influence and quality and then try and recreate things in a newer way because if you look too hard to recent music or your own contemporaries it all ends up sounding the same. It's just always been our approach to look backwards and draw from that
