The Bolded statements are what I see as something that I never knew about this band!!!

Here are the questions I asked them and their group responses are right below them:

1. What inspired you guys to play music?

Growing up we all listened to pretty much the same music. We loved Blink 182, New Found Glory, Sum 41 and a bunch of other pop punk bands. It pretty much inspired all of us to do what they were doing, so we started playing instruments/created a band. We kept playing/working on being better musicians from there and that is what led us to being in this band.

2. How has music changed your life?
Music has been a big inspiration in all of our lives. It gives us something to be passionate about and it is what our life consists of. We all really love music and we have the time of our lives playing shows, writing music and getting to know other bands/musicians in and around our hometown. It is a blast being in a band and we want to be able to do it the rest of our lives.

3. What bands do you guys listen to and how have they shaped your music?
We are different and similar in our tastes of music in this band. All of us have the same influences from the pop punk genre and that is pretty evident in the songs that we write. You can tell we are all fans of pop punk and love writing that same style of music. We also have our own influences in music and I think that helps us keep things fresh in songwriting. While we all have similar interests, but we also bring our own ideas to the table, which gives us our unique sound that you hear in the songs.
4. What advice do you guys have for others that want to pursue in music as their career?
Our advice would be to remember that being in a band is supposed to be fun, but also realize that if you really want to make a career out of it it is not going to be easy. You have to be ready to commit the time, energy, and money needed to make your band successful. Also, get to know anyone and everyone in your hometown thats in the band. You get to make a ton of awesome friends and hear some inspiring music in the process.
5. Where did you guys get the idea for the name of your band?
Our drummer, Nick, actually thought of the name when he was in Colorado with Sean. They drove past a store that was closing and saw a sign that said "Everything Goes" and it pretty much stuck. We thought it sounded cool and decided to go with that.

6. What do you want your fans to know about you guys that they might not know already?
We are huge believers in doing everything ourselves. From merch to booking everything ourselves. We feel any time we can figure out a way to do something ourselves, it is very beneficial to the band.

7. What are you guys thinking before you go on stage?
Jeff is always asking to be reminded which song we are playing first, since we always just try to memorize the set list; rather than writing it down. Other than that, we all just hope we play well and that everyone loves our music.

Everyone should check out Everything Goes because their music really makes you question what you have been listening to, since they basically blow your mind with awesomeness!!!!
