Davey Havok Quote

Q: Especially starting off in punk and hardcore like you did, you're taking a huge risk by constantly expanding your sound, and it's something you've gotten a lot of flack for. Have you reconciled yourselves to that?
A: Absolutely. It's something that we accepted very early on. It really comes from the ethos of being a punk and hardcore band. It was really because we just didn't give a fuck. In the same way that we were playing punk and hardcore and didn't give a fuck that anybody liked it, we continued to write and play what we liked and didn't give a fuck if anybody liked it. Our hope is that people do like it, but if they have an issue with it, it doesn't matter because we're doing what makes us happy.
