Are you completly satisfied about your last work?
It's always hard to be completely satisfied with a record, but at the time I thought it was the best we could do. We tried the best we could and then you just have to move on. As with anything I suppose.
Wich are the most important ispiration for doing this new album?
I'm greatly inspired by the Western United States so that always comes out in my songs. Also I was trying to write about the people I come from, the situations people I know.
Is There some others artists that you think important to reccomend us?
I've always been a big fan of Tom Waits and Dave Alvin and John Doe. Merle Haggard and Paul Kelly. The Replacements and Husker Du.
Are there some others projects for the your future?
We're lucky enough to get to record another record and hopefully get to tour Europe in the fall.
Is there something in your album that you don't like enough?

At this point I try not to think about it. It's too easy to beat up some thing that's already done.
