pete’s rock news & Views
“…I also can’t help but be sarcastic with my lyrics sometimes. The last track [on Bleach and Aspirin], “Against Me”, is a satirical statement on love and the treatment of women nowadays. Men love to blame women for every one of their problems, but never think at the end of the day that the problem might actually be themselves.” -TKOM
BREATHING THE CORE
“I love our fans. Sometimes I still can’t believe we have fans. I try to never take that for granted. We’re so incredibly lucky to be doing what we’re doing and the fans are the ones who make that possible.” -TKOM
