What is the hardest thing you have had to overcome and how did you overcome it?
Pete: The pain in my knee when I broke it in the mosh pit before our set and still played that night.

Doug: For the last 5 years I’ve been a victim of neurological pain onset of surgery and because my injury is in my face, it's been a big struggle for me to honestly just exist day to day. But with a strong support system and a strong will, I am able to face day to day life with little struggles and I’ll be damned if this will keep me down anymore.
