· From what I’ve read Eleventyseven has been around since 2002 and had a short break between 2014-2016. What brought the band together in the beginning and then again last year? In the beginning we were just three guys who were discovering punk rock together in high school. We were from a really small town in SC and just hated thinking we’d end up there, and that would be how our lives turned out. Music was our way out. It was an excuse to get out of town, play shows, and do something different. We were just kids when we started out, so by 2012 we had a decade of history, 10 years of mistakes, burn out, and disillusionment. I think we didn’t want to end up hating each other so we just sort of walked away but left the door open. Davey and I weathered a lot of the break together and just stayed involved musically. I went full time into producing and teaching at a college, and he went into software development. I remember our families both hangin at the beach a few summers ago when we both just sort of felt it. We were like, “This is stupid. We love making records, seeing fans and friends and connecting with people. Let’s figure out a way to make it work for us.” Looking back now, we needed time to see each other in a different light. We started work on Rad Science and everything just kept clicking.
