Daniel Pujol (Pujol)
SPB: If you could re-record one song, what would it be?
Pujol: Honestly, any song of mine I feel has been inadequately captured or presented I will try to rerecord. Or remix. Or record live.

Annie Sparrows (PANEL) SPB: What does the name PANEL mean to you? Sparrows: I feel like PANEL is an aesthetically pleasing 5 letter word with multiple meanings that, in different contexts, appeal to me. "Panel of experts," as in everyone's a critic. "Wood panel," as in something nice looking that … Read more
Jane No (Cheap Perfume - guitar/co-vocals) SPB: How has the band’s mission or message evolved since when you first formed?
