Great new interview I just found (not great if you hate when Brian swears though haha)

Best quote (about the new album):
RF.net: What I really wanted to ask actually was if you had ever thought about going back to the grittier sound of the first record, or are you past that?
Brian: No, that's what I was saying, even with the 90s influence, what I'm talking about when I say 90s influence is like if you listen to "Bleach" from Nirvana, that's a pretty fucking shreddy record. And same with Mudhoney and all that stuff, and there's a certain sense of gnarlyness in it, and I think that if we start to play blues music, it'll be nasty like the first record. I'm really dying to hear a record that sounds like...I listened to "Sink Or Swim" four or five days ago because we were playing some songs off of it, and it sounded nasty, like a Bronx record. That one song, "Red In The Morning", we tried to do what we would do if The Bronx wrote one of our songs. That's what I mean. I long for that dirty thing, and I think that the next time we're going to the studio, I'm definitely going to say to Brendan, make this record sound DIRTY. Like DIRTY. It's gotta sound gross. Not bad, but just gross. Like there's some air in the speakers.
That sounds badass.
