We had offers in the beginning from major labels, and they promised us a lot of money, but instead we chose a man that was offering us no money.” “Fletch had a true heart of gold, and was always there when you needed support, a lively conversation, a good laugh, or a cold pint,” the post reads. In America and Europe, they tend to be more loyal.” But, he added, “These days, most interviews we do, almost everyone seems to like us.” Within the band, I contribute the element of pop.
