“I’m not likely answering your query absolutely, but it surely doesn’t actually have any guidelines whenever you’re making music. We’re simply type of making it up. However I can inform you that we completely have to jot down new music to proceed doing what we’re doing. We wouldn’t be completely happy simply to simply sit on our laurels and play the identical stuff over and over. We actually wish to create new music to have the ability to proceed doing what we love.
