    “I don’t like it when a band is just staying in their comfort zone. I know a lot of really great bands and really talented people who have been doing the same thing again and again and not really leaving their comfort zone. And I don’t even know if they’re aware they’re not leaving it. It’s frustrating as a fan, ‘cause as much as you love that old stuff, you’re waiting. I always feel like you should kind of be “born again” every record; records should be like a rebirth of the band.” - Will Sheff, May 2011
