“They are the sketches of songs that change often, that assume new blasts and new firepower every time they’re performed. They will pin you up against the wall in the back of the room and they will bruise you, singe off all of your hair. You will cheer this. You’ll take the closest plastic cup of draft beer and you’ll dump it over your own head.” – Sean Moeller
