Yeah, that was kind of the goal. Just being a straight forward rock n roll band that's like, ya know, we grew up on all the 70's rock and some of the 80s, so that's really our thing, to keep it as live and as organic as possible.

Yeah, I'll agree with that. It's a good thing and a bad thing. But at least we are one of those underrated as in we were one of those from an era, from a time, when other bands we came up with, played shows with, were friends with became one of the biggest bands in the world. There's a lot of those underrated bands from growing up in the '70's, it's all about timing when things like this happen.

Yeah, I mean it's how it went, I'm kind of a believer in "things happen for a reason". Especially being where we are at right now with a new record coming out, which came out of the blue. We've spoken about writing a new record, but it didn't happen until Frontiers (label) made this offer. For me, and I'm sure for the rest of the guys, looking back now it's like what we went through is what really got us to where we are at with this new record. We're pretty proud of this new record and excited that we even have a new record coming out.

There are a few things, but I think going back to the earlier question, it is being the obscure band. I  think a lot of people don't realize that Jetboy was one of the forefronting bands of our era which was like 1985/1986. A core of those bands like Poison, Guns n Roses, Faster Pussycat, and L.A. Guns, We were kinda like those bands that were ruling the club scene. So I think that is kind of the misconception that a lot of people don't understand or realize that because the album came out a year later than it should've because we were dropped by Elektra then picked up by MCA. So we went from being a leader in that era to becoming like a follower. It would be cool if a lot of people, with the release of this new record, would understand the history of the band and go "ah so these guys actually came out before a lot of the bands that blew up and got humongous".

I think that by the time grunge came along, it was time for a change. And that is kind of how the industry works. You always need something new and fresh. There is always a new generation of kids who start getting into music and going to shows, buying albums and merch and all that stuff. So its really inevitable that that happened. If you flip back in time it happened in the '50's, that is just how music evolves, which is just something that happens. Now we are in a time where what we listen to is classic. All kinds of genres are really thriving, whether they are just going out and playing their whole catalog or new stuff. A lot of bands from that era even including the grunge bands and even the next wave which would be more like the punk stuff like Rancid, Green Day, Blink 182 and whatever. All those bands are thriving and they are probably doing better than they have ever done.

Yeah, we can only hope. I think in a lot of ways it already has. For a lot of bands these days I don't think it really translates into record sales. The brand name of a band is just bigger. I heard an interview with Neil Schon the other day and Journey is bigger than they have ever been, it's not really from record sales its because the bands have been around for so long. The brand of the name is just so huge and I think that goes for a lot of bands. They are probably bigger now more than ever because of the newer generation of people getting into it.

No. I don't get nervous. It's actually exciting since we haven't released, I mean this is our third full-length record the last full length was 28 years ago. We are just super pleased to be doing this still. We are getting a great response from what people have heard so far. I've been reading a couple of reviews and they are just, ya know, I couldn't ask for more.

No, we haven't. This is our first Monsters of Rock cruise, first cruise period. It's going to be pretty cool. There are a lot of bands on it that are old friends of ours then there are bands we are super fans of.

No concrete plans yet, but there will be. We are working on it.

Just to spread the word more about the band. The best accomplishment would be for this album to be one of our biggest albums.

It has completely effected every angle of it, of the industry. What it is, you can't stop it, ya know I'm guilty myself of downloading in the past and streaming, and it's just kind of what it is. Vinyl is popular again which is great but I think it's just the evolution of things and here we are I don't see it going backward. If anything they could restructure the streaming where the artist makes a much more fair amount of money. Streaming could be like a record store and a radio station at the same time but the artist doesn't really get anything, but if that changes in favor of the artists and the bands I think everyone would be doing a lot better, could be similar to the old days. For fan outreach through the internet has endless possibilities.

Yeah, there is a release date of January 25th, I don't know if the interview will be up before that, but January 25th the album will be released and unleashed, worldwide.
