Anonymous asked: I really love your cover of "4th of July" from the Junius split. Soundgarden have been a favorite band of mine since I was very young and growing up in Seattle. How did you guys decide on that song? Who among the band are Soundgarden fans?

It was initially Dave’s suggestion, quite a while back actually. Everyone in the band likes Soundgarden, and we actually discussed a whole range of tracks from Superunknown. We settled on 4th of July because it just seemed like the most fun to do. The original has an apocalyptic acid-trip weirdness to it, yet there are elements that almost conjure Hendrix. We wanted to make it a big dumb pop-sludge song — replace the acid with weed, metaphorically speaking. Dave, Armine, and Eric Jernigan from City of Ships all did vocals.
