Summary
That balance of contrast and dynamics, along with regrets and hopes, informs many of the songs on the album, including the standout anthem, "Shudder." "It's a song that's very uplifting, and very triumphant in a way," Stiller says. "But there's some dark things entwined in there." But don't ask him what the lyrics are about. "We don't really necessarily like to get into the details of everything that is being said ... it's really not as important as what people make of them."
"TO REALLY OPEN THE DOORS and try to figure out exactly what everything is would almost be like watching Metallica's Some Kind of Monster," says guitarist Steve Stiller. "They go to a shrink and try to expose their feelings and it just turns into more harm than good." It's not that local melodic modern rockers Kill the Drama advocate the unexamined life; rather, it's that some degree of emotional containment fuels the music's eventual cathartic release. "When it comes down to it, the songs are true - they're not only about what's going on outside the band, but what's going on in the band."See the full content of this document
