“Spencer put us on to a lot of deep-cut emo, so I feel like that’s where we’re at right now. I like current bands too, but I feel like there’s more star power in the 90’s.”

Makeout Reef on Growth since Existential, Garden Amp 10/7
“Lyrically I tend to write about what I’m going through; we were in high school when this band took off, now we’re about to graduate from university. We’ve all been dealing with more mature themes & I think that also comes across sonically, even when we revisit old songs.”
Smooth Jas on Canh Khổ Qua & Songwriting as a Diary, FTG 9/22
“For me, music was a personal thing. It’s sort of like writing in a diary. Whenever I felt emotionally distressed as a kid, I’d go to my room & start playing piano or singing my favorite songs. Since then, it’s kind of stayed like that. I can’t really write in a diary. Makes me feel weird. But writing a song lets things out & helps me move on. It’s really helpful to me.”
