Q- How did “This City Sleeps” start?
EJ- We started four years ago
M- Nearly five
EJ- It was a tough couple of years because when we first really got going Pop-Punk was sort of levelling off. Blink-182 had broken up along with other bands like Home Grown.
M- Other bands were starting to take their music in different directions rather than just the basic Pop-Punk

M- That’s right yeah they are rad bands and are really good at what they do.

Q- The hype that picked up for this new album “Tonight We Say Goodbye” was pretty awesome are you happy with the way the album was received?

Q- What was the main influence for your music?
EJ- New Found Glory, Saves the Day, Blink-182 there’s a lot really!
Q- What do you like to do in your spare time?
EJ- A lot of relaxing but me and the rest of the band usually meet up and go to a gig or two.
