Erik Rutan quotes:

I've always used Old English in certain songs.

I've always written everything as two guitars and I never thought I'd find that right person.

For me personally, and as a band, there are a lot of challenges. Being in a band is like war, it's a battle - to focus, to really put together something that's formidable and then keeping everything together.

Everything has it's own vibe. Every song has a different place, I guess, of where and when and what was going on and things of that nature.

I've always risen to the challenge and faced adversity; it's just a part of who I am.

I've always tried to be kind of poetic in my lyrical approach.
