On what it's like to open for One Direction...
"We do punk jumps and all that. We just dont ever say 'f' onstage." -- Ashton Irwin

"At our own show we talk a lot of sh*t. -- Luke Hemmings

On being a punk band:
"We're so proud of the music we make -- we love it -- and were fearless. If anyone puts us down, we dont care. Isn't that somewhat punk -- not giving a damn what people say?" -- Irwin

On their impact on new musicians:
"If a kid picks up drumsticks because of our band, job done. Just to have guitars on the radio again is nice." -- Irwin
