Thursday's Geoff Rickly spoke to Fuse about the band's recently announced hiatus. He talks about the influence of Bouncing Souls, Lifetime and particularly You And I.

In terms of modern emo/screamo, he notes La Dispute and Touché Amoré as being among his favorites. As for the actual hiatus:

We wouldn't have come to a decision so quickly, except that we thought it would be not cool of us to not do anymore shows. Under the circumstances, we wouldn't have wanted to book more shows beyond those we already had commitments for. There is not a lot of acrimony it's just become impossible with some things that have changed this past year.
