Congratulations on the release of your EP Sanctuary and supporting the U.S. and European tour! How did it feel being back in front of the crowd sharing your music once again?
It felt so good! There’s truly nothing like being on stage. Sharing this new EP for the first time live was insane. Fans were learning the music as we were experiencing it in a live setting for the first time. It made it really special for us.
Critics have said that “Take Me” is just as good as “Potential Breakup Song.” What are your thoughts on this?
That’s a big compliment to us. PBS changed our career at a young age and I truly think that Take Me led us to our current sound. That song brought us back from the dead in a way and it means a lot that it was perceived so well after a 10-year hiatus from music.
Sharing new music must be very nerve-wracking. What has been your reactions to how the fans responded to your new songs?
It’s incredibly emotional to see how our songs have affected people over the years. It makes us perform better, feeling the excitement from our crowd. We feed off that energy. Some nights it’s emotional. Especially when we perform “No One”. That moment is just us and an acoustic guitar. Eventually, the audience ends up joining us for the last chorus and we all sing it together.
