To create art for art’s sake is as pure an  intention as a band can have. Writing a song that may never even see the light  of day, but speaks to the very reason that you want to create in the first  place. Putting joy, connection and fulfilment above anything else, and reaping the  rewards that come from pushing such human endeavours. It’s a noble and  selfless position to place yourself in, one that sits at the very root of why  we all fall in love with music in the first place.

For As It Is, it was an absolute necessity to do things like this.

It was the only way that they could even attempt to recapture what once brought  them together 13 years ago. A moment in time where Patty Walters, Ben Biss, Ali Testo, and Patrick Foley could reconvene for the first time  in a long time, look back on the highest highs and lowest lows they have  experienced together, and draw hope and inspiration from them once again.
