Swell Maps were a punk band, but only because that word meant something different when they started making records in 1977. It didn't mean bands called Knuckleheadz or Gimp Fist; it meant unfettered freedom, curiosity rather than rage.

While mixing and editing the batch of tunes that became HORROR, we had a feeling they might have some sort of secret double life. So much potential, so many layers and forks in the road, so many split decisions that could've gone either way.

At the next red light, I clicked the belt across my chest. In the distance, a white truck drifted into view. It began to swerve. I gripped the steering wheel with both hands and braced. The impact flipped my car forward three times, glass exploding in every direction, my head slamming into the steering wheel.

It's a little bit complicated when they put an image in your head, and now you're stuck with it. You're the luckiest, oh, the irony. Holding the weight of the American children whose hearts you break.
