"
It became very difficult to maintain a middling career, not being a huge band – not being U2 – and not being somebody who goes around and plays clubs for 250 days of the year ... We were something in between that and it just wasn't done. It became hard to maintain, whereas now you can maintain something like that. We just got tired of trying to reach our audience through record companies who weren't cooperating.
