Quotable : "The record really encompasses what I think we're going for as a band - trying to have a mature sound as young adults," Justin Goodman said. "We're trying to find our place between the mainstream indie rock and the mainstream pop punk that's out there and try to bridge the gap and win over both audiences with it."
