"This is where I spent first period hiding out from school security guards,” " It was Kibitz 101 for me.”-Rami, on Canter's Deli.

"The first record, the feeling was just, being pretty young, like, 'Wow!' The whole experience of recording and then getting to go on tour, following the release of it was totally exciting, buying copies and sending it to family members, that kind of excitement. Second record, by the time that came out, we were done, like, eight months. So that was bizarre. And the label was super working-you know, every radio station had the CD before it came out. The feedback before the record was in the store was so strong, and it just felt more hyped out. Whether it hits or not, we don't know-especially how much it's gonna hit-you know, [we] never thought that, but it came out and there was a video on MTV, there was the song on the radio. I was shocked driving down the street, about to pull up to my parents' house and a couple of friends of mind in the neighborhood were right in front of the house across the street listening to it, too, getting out of their car, and I'm just like, 'Oh my god, that's us!'"- Rami when asked "How did it feel when you were releasing the first album compared to what it felt like when you were releasing Bringing Down The Horse? Was there more confidence this time?"
