DOWN AD: We recorded the album ourselves in larrys house. the digital peice of shit gave us alot of trouble and we spent alot of time in the bathroom but it all worked out in the end. we were just trying to give everyone a small tast of what we were doing.
BUSHMADO: Could you explain the meaning of the song Check your State?
DOWN AD: well when i (travis) wrote check yer state i had alot on my mind. i am just so sick and tired of seeing people treated as fellons for drug possesion and then being rail roaded in court with a useless public defender whom has no care for the well being of the defendent. in reality the defendent is the victime of the united states fucked up judical system. i as well as the rest of the band feel that we are all thinking reasoning autonomist human beings that should be able to choose for ourselves what we want to consume or subject ourselves to.
