“There’s a subtle nod to compliance and people-pleasing in the verses, but the choruses are strong and defiant. I spent most of my adult life in groups I felt unknown and unwelcome in. You know it in your body, but it takes a while for your brain to catch up. ‘Pariah’ is an embracement of that feeling, but a refusal to conform. There’s a confidence in this character that gets more and more apparent as the song plays. It’s this shift from acknowledging the pain to acknowledging their desires. Like the kid who isn’t welcome at the ‘popular’ table, but then realizes the popular table actually totally sucks. And always has! A triumphant little anthem for the inner-alien.” -Caroline Glaser

“In the end, for me, my favorite band is The Coasters or old Excello Records sides and stuff like that. I love Bo Diddley. We are always going to keep those roots. We might go art-y for a second, but we’re always going to bring you back down to earth.” – Caspian Hollywell
“It’s the instrument that sounds more like a voice to me. Some say the fiddle, but I really think the steel guitar can really mimic a voice. I don’t know. It has the ability to sound like a lot of things. To me, it sounds like molten lava flowing, and then it can simultaneously sound like water freezing into ice.” – RJ

“To me, music is always about making people feel something. The fun part for me is digging within myself and finding new ways to evoke a reaction while saying something that can still move me when I am creating it.”
