<b>Justin Long </b>(<i>Mirrors</i>) for six months in a house overlooking a cemetery near Great Falls, MD. The guys brought in another good friend,

really important to us, not just write songs and start playing again. We were moving and coming back to a city that we hadn't been in for a while… our father [John’s brother Paul Thornley plays lead guitar in the band] had passed away while we were on tour,
and it's kind of all in there on the album.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
