The Butcherettes are led by a female singer, and they're sort of wild. ”

I grew up listening to so much different pop and stuff other than just aggressive music. ”

I've always had a deep passion for a lot of early electronic and sampled music. ”

I've always tried to stay clear of being labeled, putting a label on what type of music that I make. ”

For me, the best part of being in a band is playing shows, all the raw energy. ”

A band like Depeche Mode would go out and record them hitting a trash can with a steel rod or something and recording it. And that would be one of their sounds of the drums. I love the creativeness of that kind of really raw sampling. ”

Anything I do with Team Sleep, I'd do with Deftones as well. ”

A lot of people deal with things that are bad. Once you've been through something, you grow from it and you take a lot in. You can always turn it into something positive. ”

I think a lot of bands are influenced by religious symbolism and not even necessarily Christianity or Catholicism. ”

I have this natural want to... when things sound very easy and straightforward, something inside me always makes me want to take a left turn. If it comes to me and it's too simple, there has to be a more complicated route. I will complicate things like that at times. ”
