00:00On April 15th, we're actually releasing our second full-length album, third original release

00:15overall.

00:16It's called Road Less Traveled.

00:17So April 15th, that drops.

00:18Well, just recently, actually, we had a show in London at the Roundhouse.

00:20Sarah Hyland, who's on The Modern Family, came out, and that was pretty cool because

00:33she was talking about how her and her boyfriend met because they were both fans of the band

00:40and had seen a lot of our videos and could relate.

00:41So on set, they were filming a movie and on set, it brought them together and stuff.

00:42So that was a pretty powerful story because we're huge fans of that show.

00:44Yeah, it's just crazy to think that other talented artists or creators or actors are

00:45out there listening to our music or watching our videos.

00:46I'd love to do Yours by Peter Gabriel.

00:47Yeah.

00:48That one's been a long time coming.

00:49Yeah.

00:50At some point, we gotta do that one.

01:16Anything else?

01:17What are some other good ones that you've listened to?

01:23I mean, we grew up listening to music like that.

01:27You know, we grew up listening to like James Taylor and a bit of Jim Croce.

01:32My dad was a big Iglesias fan, but we were very much influenced when we were younger

01:37by singer-songwriters or vocalists like Steve Perry or Journey and stuff.

01:44But we've done a lot of those classics.

01:49Yeah, I think we'd love to do a new Iglesias at some point.

01:54We've only done one cover in Spanish, but we're all pretty much fluent in Spanish

01:59and our parents are Puerto Rican, which is a Latin province, United States.

02:03So I think doing some more Spanish songs is definitely over-the-top.

02:09What's your favorite song?

02:12For the most part, I think we're pretty blessed that we get on really well.

02:17It's funny, though, because my two favorite bands of all time are Oasis and Kings of Leon.

02:21So I wish, because growing up I would watch documentaries and videos and stuff,

02:25and I was like, man, it'd be so cool to be like that.

02:28I try to mix it up a little bit, but no, we're not like that.

02:33No, I think the difference is that because we're independent and we do so many things

02:38on the business side on our own, if we had that kind of personality,

02:45of creativity clashing, I feel like we'd just implode.

02:51The way we do content, they can have more separation,

02:56where maybe they do the set list and tour, and then they can separate from each other.

03:02But we're posting such regular content and always emailing and texting about the latest idea.

03:07I feel like it would be way too much if we had that kind of creative difference.

03:13So I feel like for us, in this era, this new era of putting out music,

03:18it helps more to get along well.

03:22As cool as that may seem, sexy, that they're fighting or whatever,

03:27it's interesting to talk about, it just would not work for our message.
