“What people want to see is somebody real.”
COZMO
“We’d rather go down in a ball of flames than try to toe the line and get boring.”
MELROSE
“If we’re going to mess up, let’s mess up epicly.”
COZMO

MELROSE
“I’ve toured for so many years. I’ve played every little club, I’ve opened for every band, and I feel like it’s finally my time.”
