    Fun fact: the band started out as a support group in college so his three best friends (the two guitarists and bassist) could help him with sobriety after a long dependency on drugs (which is also the inspiration for this song and a good portion of their stuff). I believe he said he started doing drugs at like 13, and his friends in college started the band with him and started touring pretty early into the band's existence just so they could all keep an eye on him and be there for him when he would struggle. That's why if you see interviews with them you can tell that they are really close.

      Ans he's been sober ever since. Over 8 years now. I think he was just doing them to fit in and outgrew them when he realized he wasn't truly addicted. Like this song, he was chasing drugs and women to feel better about his insecurities. Him and hail the sun are huge inspirations, super underated and not known.

    I've seen them live twice. He does both live and he's flawless. The first time I saw them in OKC in 2016 he did the first half of the set doing both, then had one of their booth guys come up and do a couple songs on the drums so he could frontman (they asked the guy to be their booth guy and tour with them after seeing the guy do a drum cover on youtube) and then he took the drums back and finished the set doing both again. Fucking incredible
