Yet again, camera failure is a total bitch.

We caught up with Shane after the band did a mental signing at the Brisbane leg of Soundwave.

How is your Soundwave experience so far?

Dude, this festival is so awesome. It’s super organised and the people are really nice and the lineup is crazy good. It’s going to be great. I listen to lots of different stuff, from really heavy to pop and the fact that kids can see super pop bands at the main stages then see super heavy stuff is awesome. Turning more people onto different music is always great.

What will you guys be getting up to on Soundwave? There is lots of down time to fill.

It’s super relaxed. We have some off days then shows with Anberlin and Chiodos then more festival shows. We will just chill, maybe go to Bondi and hang out.

I understand you guys have a new record on the way?

Yeah we do, we got the master today. Its a concept record, something we had never tried before so we’re pretty excited [for the record the album is called A Shipwreck In The Sand]

Then what?

Well we have been on tour almost constantly since we were last in Australia on Boys Of Summer, bar the gap to do the new record. We came from South America and it was crazy. We head back home then go on a headline album tour with Norma Jean and Blessthefall. Hopefully we wind our way back here shortly after.
