3. What’s the difference between takehold and solid state?
Aaron: For us there’s no difference really, I’ve been we’ve had the same A&R guys since we were 15.
Grant: There’s a lot of cool people at tooth and nail that are behind us. And um I joined right into takehold it was pretty much takehold with one guy. A&R guy is at solid state/tooth and nail and now that were on tooth and nail now we have a group of people so its like a team. So its like we have more people to support us.
4. Do you feel the wall between the Christian and secular music scene has been broken?
Are people in the secular scene more willing to listen to Christian music nowadays?
Aaron: I think for me personally don’t like to use the word secular, ya know? Like when you say that to someone you kinda like attacking them like pointing a finger at them. Kinda making them like feel alienated. I know for me that this that wall your speaking about that you create, you guys are right the further along the scene goes people get more open minded I know us as Christians that’s what we want to do we don’t want to tell them there wrong or even right we just want to love people, hang out with people and hopefully in that way that we’ll break down that wall.
