Singer and guitarist A.J. Haynes on the writing process for 'Get Gone':
"It was a first thought, best thought kind of mindset. That was kind of our mantra at the time. It just came together that way and evolved."
Haynes on being called a 'gospel in the garage' band:
"The ironic thing is we've never played in a garage before. It's too damn hot in Louisiana to be in a garage!"
