This feels like quite a reactionary band, how do you handle that going forward?
Jason: If something comes up that we need to write about, we all meet up pretty fast. Unfortunately, there's always going to be something to react to, I'm not a pessimist, I'm not dismal, but there's always going to be something to react to, even if it's music becoming stale again. I wanna say this now, and this will be a thread that goes through our entire career as a band, we're gonna do what the fuck we want, and we're gonna keep doing what we want, the way we want to do it, and we are very deliberate in what we do. We're not being told to do anything and luckily (our team) are with us 100%. If anyone tries to tell us what to do and we don't believe in it, we just don't do it.
We cancelled shows on our last tour because we found out that there were these accusations that would have challenged the safety of women at these venues. Some fans are getting upset going, why'd you cancel? and I reach out and say, because of this, and if you don't understand that, then you don't understand The Fever. You don't understand what the fuck we're doing and if you can't see why we're not going to support a place that is aiding and abetting the assault of women, where it's meant to be a safe place for children, then get the fuck out my face. If you don't get that, then you don't get what this is, and you probably shouldn't be fucking listening anyway. Well, you probably should be because you need to understand that.
