Bands donโt succeed. Just statistically. So after the surprise indie success of our album Take This To Your Grave, I was sure there was no way but down from there. I was certain we couldnโt possibly match the success weโd had with that album. So I barely bothered considering it as a possibility, I just went in to write and record an album I enjoyed. I told my parents โI swear, just one more semester off and then Iโll go to college.โ When โSugar, Weโre Goin Down,โ premiered on MTVโs TRL I could tell that I probably wasnโt going to make it to college after all.
Happy 20th anniversary to From Under The Cork Tree, the album that changed everything. You turned it into something so much bigger than us, and for that weโre forever grateful.
Weโre working on some cool things to keep the celebration going later this year, but more on that later. Hereโs to the next chapter ๐ณ๐ค.
