I promised my mom I’d play French horn on all my albums. Continuing that promise….

New Sigur Ros. Seeing them next month in Santa Barbara.

Not a question, but while you're hanging around, thanks for doing what you do! Discovered Humanistic through Clone High when I was just entering my teens and all 3 of albums have become a major part of my taste and personality today. Keep up the fantastic work!

Thanks for supporting! Clone High is one of my proudest achievements. Phil Lord and Chris Miller...

I apologize if this has been asked before, but will we ever see a release of the demo versions of Armed to the Teeth or Sublime Currency tracks the way we did for Humanistic? I really enjoyed having a chance to hear those demos, and I'm probably not the only one. I hope you and your family are well.

Best to your family as well, thanks. The answer is… maybe. I may get around to it eventually.

Do you read much C.S. Lewis? I'm specifically asking about his works like "Mere Christianity" and "The Great Divorce." You strike me as extremely intellectual, so "Mere Christianity" would be a great read...even for someone who is already a Christian. It blew me away! Loved the reasoning in it.

Sat, 16 Mar 2013 23:42:45 -0700

I have read “Mere Christianity” and “The Problem of Pain.” I also have...

Have you ever incorporated the song "Start Over" in any of your sets? I am a huge fan of the tune and think it would be cool to hear a live rendition of it.

Sat, 16 Mar 2013 23:36:28 -0700

I have, on several occasions. Not in the most recent shows though.

Just want to say thank you for your music. Loving the new album. Thank God I went to that Flickerstick show where you were opening. Also glad to see that there are others out there who are spiritually like minded. Thanks again for what you do and getting us through the day to day. Get to Boston asap.

The Flickerstick tour was a long time ago. And a lot of fun. Hopefully we’ll get back to...

Holy snaps!!! Abandoned pools has a tumblr!!!, you're one of my heroes and humanistic was a keystone for me through high school, I just wanted to tell that, keep rocking.

Sat, 16 Mar 2013 23:34:45 -0700

Thanks for the support. Indeed, I will continue rocking and/or soft-rocking.

Hey Tommy! I've been a fan since your humanistic album. I just wanted to say your music is amazing. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to continuing to purchase all of your music. I can't get enough of it. Thank you again for returning to give your fans more of what we want. The seven year gap was a lonely one with Armed to the Teeth and Humanistic on constant repeat :)

Sat, 16 Mar 2013 23:34:00 -0700

Thanks, more music is on the way.

How are things? Haven't heard any new news in a while. Hope all is well and looking forward to seeing you live in Dallas! Been waiting since 'The Remedy'. Cheers!

Sat, 16 Mar 2013 23:33:22 -0700

Things are good. Just released an album back in August and hope to have another out this summer....

Been a fan for years

Sat, 16 Mar 2013 23:32:02 -0700

So glad I downloaded Sublime Currency. It’s funny, the first time I say you was on MTV2 (The...

Do you ever think you will do a UK tour?

Sat, 16 Mar 2013 23:31:02 -0700

Doubtful, but you never know. Last time AP was there was in 2003. We only did two shows in London...

Ive heard people say, "oh man, i wish they were more popular!". Thanks for staying true to yourself and your own sound. Consistency can still be innovative if you do it in your own way by not following trends and you never have.."hype IS the enemy". Love the rich sounds and as usual compelling lyrics in the new album. Cant wait for more! Cheers. -Alain

Thanks, I hear that a lot too but so it goes. And thanks for the support. There’s more music...

Will we see any guest collaborations on the next album? You had Josh Freese on drums for Humanistic, and Billy Howerdel and Ken Andrews on Armed to the Teeth. Do you see yourself working with any of those guys again or musicians from other acts?

Sat, 16 Mar 2013 23:25:36 -0700

No plans for guest artists right now but you never know.
