We tend to improvise and expand on the songs when we're on stage, and on the last couple of CDs, it was fine to put out something that felt unfinished, because we knew we were going to expand on it live. With 'Stories of a Stranger,' we were focused on how strong each song could be.

We have broader goals, like to become better musicians or a better band or better songwriters or to put on a better live show.

We get that question a lot. It isn't anything political.

Now, it's an extremely big name to live up to, but it kind of fits. We had all played in other bands before, and so this was our musical revolution, where we could finally play the music we wanted.

I think from the very beginning it was new and special to us, and that's all that mattered. From the beginning, we named our band Of A Revolution, and that might have sounded very lofty, but for us, it was our own revolution. This was music we wanted to be playing, and from the beginning, we knew there was something there.

We've always been friends before we were even in a band. It's a good-natured feeling, playing together on stage every night. To us, hanging out is playing a show. We can read each other and know each other's moods, and we know the direction we're headed. But we also know nothing is set in stone.

Good question. The revolution isn't a political statement. The band is now going on 10 years. In 1996.. It was our own little music revolution. It was a big statement for us that we were excited to be doing what we were doing, and starting.

We wanted to put out a record that was way better than anything we put out in the past. So we (brought in outside songwriters). In the past we would have never toyed with that idea.

I'm not trying to put down the last three months.. But to be honest, we have more goals than having a song do well at radio. We want to be the biggest band in the world.
