“We’ve gone through about three or four different managers and three or four different labels and three or four different live agents and wouldn’t change any of that for anything, because we’ve met some incredible people,” vocalist Josh Franceschi told Louder's Niall Doherty last year. “We’ve also worked alongside and met some people that have treated us very poorly, but at the same time has given us really valuable lessons in how not to be and also how to be resilient without being unkind.

“One of the toughest lessons I’ve learned in the industry was how to show backbone but not show your fist. I think that’s been the hardest lesson is, is when somebody does wrong by you, or hurts you is to not want to become that evil. When they go low, you go high. You’re far better served if the sooner you can remove the ego, the much happier you’re going to be.”
