We tend to improvise and expand on the songs when we're on stage, and on the last couple of CDs, it was fine to put out something that felt unfinished, because we knew we were going to expand on it live. With 'Stories of a Stranger,' we were focused on how strong each song could be.

We've always been friends before we were even in a band. It's a good-natured feeling, playing together on stage every night. To us, hanging out is playing a show. We can read each other and know each other's moods, and we know the direction we're headed. But we also know nothing is set in stone.

I think from the very beginning it was new and special to us, and that's all that mattered. From the beginning, we named our band Of A Revolution, and that might have sounded very lofty, but for us, it was our own revolution. This was music we wanted to be playing, and from the beginning, we knew there was something there.
