- The band is the first Canadian recording artist to offer a secured commercial digital download of their songs.
- At the age of 9, Jeff picked up a guitar and began to play
- As a band becomes more successful, you are inadvertently going to be more pressured to become more accessible to people. We were under pressure from the record company and management to be more accessible, more commercial
- Isolation breeds creativity, especially in a studio situation
