"As they were driving around, he said ‘Hey, I know you get CDs all the time, but this one from We As Human is way more awesome than all the others.' It wound up making its way to the band's frontman John Cooper, kind of as a joke at first because they really do get demos pitched to them all the time, but he put it in, absolutely loved it and said we were one of the best bands he's heard in quite a few years."

In the early days, I was shaped a lot by Creed and Linkin Park. I love P.O.D.'s Satellite record. That was a game-changer for me. Listening to Stone Sour was big. Garth Brooks is one of my favorite artists of all-time—as well as Keith Urban. They're really great songwriters with good music. I like Michael Jackson. It doesn't matter what genre. As a band, we'd agree Alter Bridge, Disturbed, and Muse are common influences. Lately, I've been into Deftones' White Pony record, which is awesome.
I posted some songs below from YouTube otherwise there's a stream of the album on revolver magazine's website.
