How did your band form? 
We are all longtime friends from high school that always talked about starting a heavier band together. It wasn't until recently that Luis and Adrian committed to the idea after going to an Endzweck/Dangers show and brought the idea to Nick and Chris.

When was your first show/gig?
Our first show will be at Not So Bummer Summer! 

Who are your favorite local bands?
No Age, Tera Melos, Warm Thoughts, Cold Front, Soaked in Disillusion, Girl Pusher, Chud, West America. and Bodysnatchers RIP To name a few,

How/where did you get your band name from?
It has the meaning of people getting together to convene on certain topics and that's what a band should be, it also has a simple ring to it like most hard bands that just stick in your head.
       
What are some influences for your music? (i.e. books, art, politics, tv, etc.)
Our influences are really stuff that interest us respectively. We all have varying perspectives on life and politics and society and we bring them all together and work from there. Examples, education reform, the new left movement, sadness, your best friend, anime. 

What is it like working together?
Working together is no different from when we hang out regularly. A lot of weeb jokes, memes, philosophical conversations, only difference is that we're all playing instruments. 
       
Have you ever attended a NSBS event? How did you hear about it?
Yes, Nick played NSBS 3 with Chill Trigger and Chris and Luis played the first NSBS with BODYSNATCHERS. 
       
 What keeps you inspired?
Just things we deal with in our own lives and wanting to keep playing with each other. As long as there's something to write about we'll keep pushing. And the lord and savior Guy Fieri. Never forgetti.
