    I just adore Dan. His sincerity and passion just shine through and even if it's on a subconscious level the listener cannot help but respect and admire the commitment , drive , and motivation this guy has. I've never heard a track or seen a live performance where it seemed like he was " over it" or even tired. He gives his all every time. He's just a fucking gem.

      I was lucky enough to see them when they came to Boise and they talked about how much they loved the city during the time they were there and that as well as obviously their performance was so genuine and it made me so happy to have my favorite band be such amazing people as well.
