That's really awesome that you're doing exactly what you love and exactly the way you want to do it. You've never had a fall back? This has always been your destiny?

it is and not really, i mean i worked some jobs in the past but i quit them for this so really who the fuck knows where i'd be if this all didn't work out. maybe try getting some job in the business somehow, probably.

of course she did, girl is excited and glowing with happiness. look, you're good with me, seriously. just had to meet the guy making my friend happy and i did and you seem like a good one. i trust you won't hurt her but - a fan of me you say?

i get that and this guy is going to be making her happy for as long as he possibly can as well. i mean.. i'd say i'm a pretty good one as well, haha. i'd never wish to. fuck yeah, i mean — who isn't ! ? you're miley fucking cyrus.

Damn - I still have to wait over a month? I guess I'll survive until then. Are you planning on dropping any singles from the album before then? I'm headed to Europe. We start in Milan on Friday and get to spend a whole month on the continent. Cancun was fantastic. I think it's exactly what I needed.

yes, but i assure it'll be well worth the wait, okay ? this is some peak waterparks shit here. i'm sure we shall and might even be sharing some bits from it was time goes on as well. gotta give something until then, right ? shit, that sounds amazing ! enjoy it out there and i'm so with you about cancun, just everything i didn't even know i needed as well.

Glad you had a good time. We're finishing up our tour in Las Vegas before we'll be heading back to Mexico with everyone to enjoy a good few days off. Touring is always going to be a great part of the job, the places we go, the people we get to see. Album is doing good, I love getting to perform some of the songs even on stage with my brothers, encouraging both our own work and our bands work. How're you feel now that everything has settled down a bit? Imagine you're gonna be relaxing and enjoying your time in Mexico?

sounds like it was all perfect timing then with your tour wrapping and cancun coming. so are you done touring for now or is there another leg coming ? i always enjoy touring, and looking forward to doing such again soon myself with new music. i love the sounds and i'm sure the shows were truly something. i enjoying the time in mexico, a nice moment to relax and not really be so present on socials for a bit. it was nice, how was it all for you ?

I'll be at a show, you have my word. You have a new album coming out soon, you'll have to do something for it. I'll be sure to come out and show you support and remind you when this friendship is going so strong. I'm glad I can give you such, and I have something to look forward to as well. Haha, I'll hold on too, not plans of letting go and you're just stuck with me now as I am you.

i'll have a set with your name on it saved then and you're going to listen to the new album when it releases, right ? this friendship is going nowhere from the sounds and it's what i love to hear. happy to be stuck together.. if you make a show and listen to the new album in july.

Danny. Got it. Man, first off that's huge. Like, objectively huge. Sad Summer, Slam Dunk, Lollapalooza? That’s oh wow, this thing is real energy. I love that it took a few swings before the right band clicked. Thats usually the story, right? People see the festival poster, they don’t see the garage years. Or the 'well,this lineup lasted six months' years. That's the actual stuff that builds the thing. Sum 41 being the spark totally tracks. There's something about bands like that where they make music feel attainable.

yup and i know for us — massive, makes us feel we're still hitting moments we never imagined. hope to keep it up or do more even. it does sometimes but at least something worked so i can give more of the music i'd love to enjoy myself as well as the world, really. haha, you're not wrong at all. right and i remember i heard them for the first time and was so inspired, there was nothing else i really wanted to do for work. it was like my all or nothing was to be like them so really glad it worked out. who knows what i'd do otherwise.

A new album in a couple of months? I'm looking forward to hearing what you've been creating. I know that it's going to be amazing, though. I've just finished my North American leg of the tour so I've got a few weeks off - pretty excited about that one. I'm looking forward to Cancun.

yup, july 24th couldn't come sooner and you know i'd love to hear what you think after. congrats, i'm sure it was a great tour and the next could be better. where are you going for the next leg ? yes, cancun was amazing, wasn't it ?

Been blessed with some high highs. Being nominated for a Grammy and then Entertain of the Year at CMAs stand out. 12 year old Kelsea could never. What about you? I would love to work with you. I love all types of music but it would be fun to hear you get a little country.

wow, those are pretty huge — congrats on that, seriously ! you deserve it all. right now no new highs but maybe soon once the new album releases in july. now that's what i like to hear and look.. i'm not much the country guy, but i'd be down to try such. could be secretly be my calling.

Y’know, I had no idea you were straight edge! That’s amazing, and honestly I’m proud of you. Now that I know I swear I’ll keep it clean haha well get mocktails and go to local coffee spots! Have you always stay clear of alcohol or is this recent? Either way, it’s great! Oh new album release?! When is that expected?

i'm pretty proud of myself having never like drank my whole life, haha. you can always drink if you want, just for me ? i'll do like mocktails or whatever. oh, i know you surely know the best coffee spots. always, i don't even know how it all tastes. yes, it'll release july 24th and i'm already very hype about it.

it has been and we definitely do need to fix this so i can bother you in texts all over again. busy is right, but here we have no excuses. so we're definitely going to catch up while in the same place.

i look forward to your crazy annoying texts again, haha, i'm kidding, but i am looking forward to your texts again. it was nice to hang and catch up though back in cancun.

Did not realize how much I needed a good vacation until I landed here in Mexico. So much of me has been contemplating do I really need to go back when the trip is up. Yes, I realize I do. Which means soaking up the fleeting minutes. What has everyone's favorite thing been so far, or are you more waiting for the few things still coming up? Personally getting to see the butterflies is something I've been waiting for. @hfrpstarters

now this — is a mood. i don't always do real go out vacations much so got here and it really hit. now a staycation in my place or at a friend's ? i'm all over that shit, haha. yeah but i mean.. can't we imagine life if we didn't have to go back — or at least not too soon ? i'm about to be corny as fuck and say something like it's all been a favourite. this whole trip, easily the best for so many reasons. but have to pick — i'd say exploring the underground rivers was so cool.

Absolutely, mate. Let me grab us a few drinks and we can hang. What’s your drink of choice? And hey, I’m always down to collab! I’d love to, honestly. You should make your way out to one of my shows with Sel if you’re ever free. Are you touring right now as well?

drinks you say ? is this the trip that i have alcohol for the first time ? if i do that, i need to be watched, haha. just going to stick with a mocktail, not sure i'm ready to see who buzzed or even drunk awsten could be. well, with such an invite can't say no and when there's free time for us — we'll see about the collab. i'm off tour, i ended it for now, but with a new album soon, could be on the road again soon, right ?

am i correct with hearing you're dating my girl, selena? || @itsawsten

shit, did she tell you such already ? i mean, i figured she'd tell close friends.. just forget how big a deal some of hers are. and if it helps any, would never hurt her and also quite the fan of you.
