Hey Luke, any word on instrumental Kezia, Scurrilous, Volition, or any future albums? I love both instrumental and vocal versions!

Hey Luke! Just wanted to say thanks for all the inspriation you've given me over the years with your fantastic compositions. I even got you guys permanently affixed to me over the last year.
Anyhow, your style has clearly changed to become more and more progressive over the past few albums... are there any artists you have been listening to that may have influenced this direction?
Where is your favorite place to play on tour and why is it The Social in Orlando?
What are some of your favorite and least favorite tracks to play live and why?
Thanks for everything man!

Can you agree that Propagandhi is the greatest band of all time? And that their mighty riffs shift the earth's tectonic plates?

Hey Luke, I was wondering if there were any specific exercises you did to get your right hand so solid, I've been trying to learn how to play your stuff for years and just can't quite keep up on a lot of it.
Also, I love you guys so much. Thanks for being hilarious, cool dudes and making amazing music.

Hey Luke! Where do you draw influences from when writing? Are there any besides other bands/guitarists? I guess on a broader scope, whats your writing process like?

I'm curious about how successful the crowdfunding for Volition was. It certainly seemed like you guys embraced it and did it "the right way" -- being forthright with the expenses and costs, etc. So while it seemed to me to be a huge success, I'm wondering if you guys view it the same way.
Also, any plans for a new album soon? I'm really looking forward to hearing the direction you guys go next.
