Put Me Out” is another song that in my opinion is one of the best and most rocking on the album. It’s a straight-up rock song with driving choruses, choppy verses, and a pissed bridge that’ll make you kick whoever is sitting next to you right in the face, like Daniel did to Johnny in the first Karate Kid.

Artwork” was such a negative record with so much anger and so much hate, which is kind of fitting that it leaked three months early, and kind of fitting that it happened the way that it did. Kind of like, and I hate to compare this in this kind of a nerdy way, but, it was kind of like a Phoenix, like the whole idea is something burning and crashing and starting over and becoming something totally separate and beautiful in it’s own way and that’s kind of how I picture this record. From the ashes of that kind of came this record — the most positive, the most beautiful and more upbeat record than we’ve ever done.

New interview here.
Bert McCracken talking to localbozo.com He mentions the DVD which is going to cover some of the upcoming live shows in the next couple of months and releasing a cookbook (which I always assumed was trolling, but he sounds pretty serious!)

On touring in the UK
It’s been a little while since you’ve been over in the UK- how’s the tour going so far and what do you like most about playing shows over here?
QUINN- Yeah, it’s been awesome. All the fans have reacted really well to the new songs, and we’ve played longer sets and played four or five songs off the new record. It’s been great and we’re having a really good time.
JEPH- I love the accents! I guess over here you get more general
music fans too.
Q- Yeah, someone can be into “Good Charlotte” and “Children of Bodom” and “The All American Rejects” and “Blink 182” and “The Used” and “Celene Dion”. People are genuinely more driven to the music rather than the trend; where as in the States it’s more what’s the flavour of the week. People are generally really nice over here too.
From new interview in Est. 1987
“Vulnerable to us only means living life with an open heart”
“I strongly suggest if you have anything you are going through, professional help, although it seems scary is really the way to go” - Bert endorsing counseling.
