When did you decide it was time to share this music?<\/strong><br \/>\nI recorded a lot of demos for what I thought would be a quick follow up to the last Honored Guests record, but we were having a hard time getting all of the band together at the same time. I started thinking I would try to make something to release under a different name and asked some different people to play parts, and the band just sort of came together really casually over the course of a few weeks, maybe a month. We booked a show and everyone learned the songs really quickly. It wasn&#8217;t a big decision or anything, I think we were all itching to do something new.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Describe the first song you ever wrote.<\/strong><br \/>\nCringe-worthy. I was really into Uncle Tupelo and the early Wilco\/Son Volt stuff late in high school. I was probably trying to to rip them off, but failed miserably.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5554\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5554\" style=\"width: 251px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Screen-Shot-2012-03-29-at-7.12.03-PM.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-5554\" title=\"Russell Baggett\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Screen-Shot-2012-03-29-at-7.12.03-PM-300x226.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"251\" height=\"189\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Screen-Shot-2012-03-29-at-7.12.03-PM-300x226.png 300w, https:\/\/www.ibiblio.org\/carrborocitizen\/mill\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/03\/Screen-Shot-2012-03-29-at-7.12.03-PM.png 562w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 251px) 100vw, 251px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5554\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">photo by by Agatha Donkar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>4. Who\/what might be a few inspirations or influences that would really surprise people?<\/strong><br \/>\nI don&#8217;t know, probably all of the pop music I grew up with. I really liked &#8220;oldies&#8221; when I was a kid, but I also had Whitney Houston cassettes, and was really into Mary J. Blige in 6th grade. I pretty much got into all of the grunge bands after that, but some of that R&amp;B pop stuff probably sneaks into songs sometimes. I&#8217;m sure nobody notices.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5.
