Where do you see yourself in 5 years?īryan: As a band, we have the potential to either do something really really great, or to get overlooked very severely. Somebody who takes what they listen to and does not take it with a grain of salt, but dissects it first.ĬMW: I think I fit in there. You see people get spoon fed whatever is on the top-40 and they don't really think twice about it. You do not see that a lot in the world these days. Not just somebody who comes up to us and says, "Man, you guys rock!" That's cool, we enjoy that, but ideally I'd like to have somebody who appreciates a lot of different things. And to be able to have a conversation about what is good about music and what is wrong about music today. So I think the ideal fan would probably be somebody that I could sit down and talk about a weird movie with them and say, "What did you think about the plot here, and camera work and the cinematography?"

So we wanted something that, just for the image aspect, we could really grow with and expand with, and to still be Stereo Motion when we are 30 years old. We can't always be young and have that image about us. And that is not something you can always have forever.
