I'm just finding all of these now, and I can't TELL you how much I'm enjoying the ones with the NON-"guitar god" types! I mean, I grew up being influenced by all the usual suspects, too, but some of these very song-centric guys are... SO, SO underrated and under-appreciated by the guitar community for their place in music. Great to see some deeper dives into their significance and humanity. Many thanks!

6:32 *The way he looks downward and to the side, after he says: "That's my style, I overthink everything."* Seems he's got another thought or feeling about that... and that resonates with me. I used to do that. A LOT. Then, I accepted that I don't control ANYTHING. I can only influence things to varying degrees [at varying times, as well.] The over-thinking everything essentially disappeared. Only rears it's head at times, when the inevitable difficult thing comes up. And that's when some thinking is needed to gain understanding, acceptance, and the get through it, somehow. That's how life is: Difficult. And that's OK. /side note: Just discovered now, in late 2023, their song "Let It Happen". It's my new favorite by them. 555, and Bleed American are my other favorites.

This band is so criminally overlooked. I remember I once showed the title-track “Invented” to an old friend who only knew them for “The Middle”. We sat in complete silence for the entirety of the song. After it ended, I looked at his face. He was just staring at the album for about ten seconds before he spoke, and he just said “wow”. After another brief pause, he went on to say “I think this is proof of great songwriting. To be able to make someone feel your music like we just did.. wow” I couldn’t have said it any better myself. Such an incredible jem just waiting to be found amidst so much of the “pop-punk” that it was shrouded by.

It's interesting how he says the approach to songwriting is very methodical because I've always felt like their songs usually hit their next gear around the 2:00 minute mark (mostly), and it's typically an elevated version of themes from earlier in the song but that's exactly what makes their music so damn interesting is it sounds familiar, and different at the same time, precisely because how the band as a whole plays with the idea of "theme" and "variation", but damn if it all doesn't sound so good.
