Can I tell you what's really surreal? And this is surreal being from America. is that the gold record here is 7,000 records sold, and we're playing a show to 4,000 people. So we're playing to half a gold record.

Panic was a weird one, because I never wanted a record label. And then these little dudes came onto our website, and they were like, blah, blah, blah, something about me sucking or something. And they were like, check out our band. And I was like, I'm going to go check this band out, and I'm going to come back here and tell them how shitty their band is.

And I went and listened to it, and I was like, damn, this thing's good. I was like, I've got to sign them. Then I was like, wait, I don't have a record label.
