Fans are seeing a more rounded group now, say the foursome clustered around a restaurant table, stuffing themselves with chicken wraps and pasta between razor-sharp quips and snatches of song. Our last studio album came out last year. We always feel a little bit burned because it seems like sometimes if you're not making brooding, suicidal or like, 'I'm singing about something serious here you better believe me' kind of music and videos your musicianship is not considered as valid.
Nobody realizes that.
