But I think that this tour that we're on right now will be the end of the cycle and we'll start working on new music right away. Matty: It's significantly different. We went into it knowing that it was going to be a rock record through and through and so this is the first time that Kellen and I have written with someone else. It's the first time we've written a record that has no screaming in it and there are some slower tempos than usual.
All around we wanted to make something that was more commercial and we learned a lot through the process about who we are as a band, what we can execute well and what we can't execute well.
Toby: I really enjoyed the album. I reviewed it for Cross Rhythms. I heard a few different things in it. There was one track that had a sort of Artic Monkeys thing in it. It has this English flavour to it.
You're quite influenced by UK bands aren't you? Matty: Yeah, a little bit. We like bands from all over the world. I wouldn't say that I'm predominantly influenced by British bands.
There have definitely been some British bands that have had a huge impact on us, for sure. Matty: We were watching the Oasis documentary the other day and we were like "Man! We had no idea how many massive songs they had until you really sit down and explore all of it. So Oasis is huge, and then obviously in our realm of music we came up at the same time as Bring Me The Horizon and they've obviously had a huge impact over here and we toured with a handful of other British bands as well, some cool bands.
Matty: per cent of it. They have steadily amassed a strong catalog while bringing a high level of audience participation and engagement to festivals, clubs, and theaters all around the globe. It fashions music into a sharp sword, dedicated to cutting free the bonds of self-doubt. This Light I Hold arrived next, with crossovers into active rock radio.
These guys are family to the million-plus fans who follow Memphis May Fire on social media, who put This Light I Hold and Unconditional high in the Billboard , who empty the racks whenever MMF graces a magazine cover. They are revered by the early believers who discovered them with Sleepwalking and The Hollow ; those who made Challenger the biggest-selling debut in the history of Rise Records at the time; and everyone who discovered their heartfelt music since.
