    Famous quotes by Sam Loeffler:

    "The greatest thrill comes from playing in front of fans that are dedicated and energetic and from traveling all over the world. Texas is always a great place to play because there are a lot of people that are into hard rock. We always have good shows there."
    "We never told anybody about (our relationship), even after we were signed. I didn't want anybody to talk about it. I don't care if people know we're brothers -- I just don't want them to lump the music into something."
    "I get along with Pete really, really well, and we get along with Joe fine. Honestly, we've learned how to give each other our space. We totally know what the breaking point is, and we bite our tongues."
    "Our lyrics are about a lot of things. They are not very introspective. For example, the song 'Panic Prone' is about drugs, this idea about kids getting drugged up and medicating themselves and whether to help people or not help people at all."
