 - Interview: Jose De Castro (2009)
Interviewed by Guglielmo Malusardi

 - Interview: Andre Tonelli (2009)
Interviewed by Dan McAvinchey
"There is always something you don't know. Thinking of the end result is a distraction and more importantly, there is no end result. You will be learning for the rest of your life. "

 - Interview: David Martone (2008)
Interviewed by Guglielmo Malusardi

of instrumental music, but the music nonetheless resonates within us on a deep,
personal level."

Interviewed by Dan McAvinchey
"I tend to discover guitarists that have been there for a long time and have many records, but hadn't catch my attention until recently, like Derek Trucks or Alex Machacek."

 - Interview: Marc Rizzo (2008)
Interviewed by Guglielmo Malusardi
"When Mike Varney got a copy of my mostly acoustic solo record and signed me, he suggested doing more metal. I was thrilled because at that point in time it seemed nobody cared for metal solos."

 - Interview: Alex Ehrsam (2008)
Interviewed by Guglielmo Malusardi
"The fact that downloading is a problem can't prevent you from doing music. And you are right, a lot of guys are actually releasing their first albums, but that doesn't mean they are good or different from what's been done before."

 - Interview: Fabrizio Leo (2008)
Interviewed by Guglielmo Malusardi

 - Interview: Andy Timmons (2008)
Interviewed by Martin Schmidt

|
 - Interview: Stef Burns (2008)
Interviewed by Guglielmo Malusardi
"I love live performances. If they come out well, they capture the beauty of improvisation. That is one of the things that I love about music and this band, the moments of improvisation that change from gig to gig are wonderful."
