When we first started touring after the release of 'On Through the Night', a lot of people kept calling us a 'punk' band. Obviously they never saw us.

They all called us 'punk,' because the name sounded that way.

The trouble with a lot of music in this country is the radio stations. Modern rock - it's SUCH a stale format. As far as I can work out, and as far as we can work out as a band, the music put on these stations... It's not for the people. It's to satisfy the advertisers. It's completely reactive as opposed to proactive.
Ed O'Brien
