1.) How's life on this tour been so far?

This tour has been absolutely amazing. We're drawing tons of kids in places we've never played before. It's insane. We're playing great shows and doing well in merchandise, so we have no complaints.

2.) Do you prefer tours like this or huge festivals with multiple
bands playing at once?

I definitely prefer tours like this. I guess there is really no reason why, I just like playing more intimate shows night after night.

3.) When you guys are on the road, what do you usually do?

When we're on the road, it's usually the same routine. Wake up, drive, eat some lunch, keep driving, get to the show, scope it out, set up merch, unload all of our equipment and backline it, hang out with the kids until our set, do our thing onstage, unload, and do it all over the next day.

4.) What would you say is the biggest sacrifice you had to make be in
your band?

The biggest sacrifice is probably not being able to be around your loved ones like you are when you're at home. It's rough, but you have to give things to gain things.

5.) What bands would be on your dream tour(i.e. Who would you like to tour with)?

Honestly…Blink 182, and New Found Glory. We could all die happy then.

6.) Where did you get your inspiration from for your music (other
  bands, family, etc.)?

I think our inspiration comes from all kinds of different areas. Life in general is the biggest inspiration.

7.) As a musician, what do you consider to be "making it big"?

Obviously making it big in our eyes when we could all be financially well off. No worries about money ever again. But since I was like 12, I said I would know I had made it when I played the House Of Blues in Orlando..hahaha so we'll see.

8.) What tour would you say was your favorite?

Um no tour really stands out better than any other. We love every tour we go on. It gives us an opportunity to make friends and fans from all of the other bands draws. We're excited to just to be touring.

9.) Where was your favorite place to perform (city, venue)?

I love anywhere in California, but honestly there isn't a real place we hate playing. Everywhere is usually good to us.

10.) What is your favorite song to play live?

Our intro…Fast Forward To 2012

11.) Name the five greatest bands of all time.

That would be too hard for me to even begin, NFG- Blink- and Fairwether would be on there though.

12.) What's the best part about going on tour?

Getting to meet people on the road is my favorite. We're seeing the country and hopefully this year – Europe. Traveling and meeting new people is my favorite things about touring.

13.) What did you do before the band started?

Went school, and played baseball.

14.) Where's the one place you want to perform that you haven't?

Anywhere in Europe is going to be absolutely amazing.

15.) If you could describe it in one word, what does it feel like to perform?

Invincible

16.) Do you have any advice for aspiring musicians?

Keep writing and never stop. Continuing to play is what will get your band where you wanna be. Keep your chins up and don't let anybody get to you or tell you can't do something.

17.) Any last words or shout outs?

Thanks so much for taking the time to give us this interview .  FLORIDA STAND UP.
