Worst Ways

(Grant - Guitar, Ryan - Guitar, Trevor - Drums, Phil - Bass/Backing Vocals, Jonnie - Vocals)

SPB: What song in your current setlist is the hardest to nail live (what part is the most challenging)?

Grant: Oh, easy. "Better Off", the first half of the song when played how it's recorded is down picking as fast as I can play while the drums are going very fast as well. It's more of a test of endurance while trying to keep pace with Trevor and keep each note clean and not cramp up at the same time

Ryan: Boom! What Grant said. LOL, that song is a forearm killer, 100% down picking.

Trevor: "Permanent," ‘cause I actually have to count, thanks PHIL!

Grant: This just in: Worst Ways' drummer can't count.

Phil: Yeah, thats a good one too, counting to 5 is weird in that spot, but it is good for the song, and if you fuck that up, you definitely know about it. Counting is hard sometimes, you might see me counting it every single time we play it... haha!

Trevor: I can count to 5 but that's my limit, I guess.

Jonnie: Vocally it's "Failure." I can't miss a spot or the whole song falls off and is ruined. Plus all the melodies ain't a walk in the park.
