I know from past conversations with you that every member of the band has a military background, how does that play into the story of the formation of the band? I know that you’re headed to the studio at Rattle Clack Entertainment next week, and earlier today, I got a little behind the scenes listen to some of the things that you’ll be recording, can you talk a little bit about how you decide what songs to cover and the theme behind your originals. What is your writing process like? You’ve been on my shows enough to know the drill, tell me something about the song, I Die Alone.
