Ask them what are their expectations for the new record and how do the guitars sound so sweet on Sit & Sink.

[Joe DeAndrea]

Tell them I luv them plz&thx.

[Julia Conny]

Tell them I luv them plz&thx.

No, because then they might steal you from us. :-)

[xshady121]

I saw them for the first time at the Jack's Mannequin show in poughkeepsie, and they fucking blew me out of the water.

[LV03]

saw them last week....heard some of the new songs, sound pretty good

[kissbangkill]

i'd like to know the inspiration behind the album title/album cover/title track. i mean, i know what anhedonia means, and i see the cohesion, but it'd be cool to know if there's a story behind it and/or what inspired them to go in that direction.

Dear The Graduate:

Please save some awesomeness for other bands.

Thanks,
Praetor

[ascitiesburn101]

Why/How are you so good?

seriously though, what was the price range for the making of/production of the ep?

I will let them know that. Hah.

[Julia Conny]

Actually, I already did a good part of this interview with Corey. But that was right when AP when down and I wasn't able to post for questions. I wanted to make sure you guys got a chance to ask what you wanted, so we are going to have a second part of the interview.

[ryanh12]

why did you cancel the Grand Rapids Show?

[Steve Henderson]

Do they feel like McTernan helped them achieve more of a straight rock sound while other producers might have made them sound more pop punk?

[WalmartPhotoGuy]

What is your favorite song on the new album and why didn't you put The Formula on the album?! :(

Also, any plans for some B-Sides/DVD? :]

[HoustonCalling]

what was the decision process like when choosing a record label and what ultimately made you choose icon mess?

[saving jonathan]

why did you cancel the Grand Rapids Show?

i second that question.

along with how do they continue to be innovative and carve their own niche in the played out music scene of today?

[zach26]

they use a delay on some of their songs....what other pedals/effects do they use?

[sweetforever]

favorite part of being in a band? touring, recording, playing live etc.?

[Julia Conny]

There are some great questions here - thanks a bunch guys.

[thegamethelight]

ask them how they wrote such an amazing debut full length, because it is indeed remarkable.

[rikfrommf]

why did you cancel the Grand Rapids Show?

Their bassist Jarred was sick. He had gone to the hospital the day before.

[jusscali]

Ask them if they sleep with headphones...

oh wait http://jusscali.blogspot.com/2007/01/interview-corey-warning-of-graduate.html

[joeshmoe909]

They put on a killer show last month with Waking Ashland.

Anyways, questions..

How was working with Seth Henderson on the EP? Do you think he did a good job making you guys sound how you wanted?

[SCnyy24]

ask them as an up and coming band, who's the coolest stranger they've ever stayed/crashed with because they coudln't afford a hotel or something

[underoathfob55]

ask them why "i survived" never leaves my head

[Ryzenfall]

I BOUGHT horror show on iTunes. Great stuff, but now that it's free, can i have a free T-shirt?

[r_hasch]

i've noticed that there is a slightly different sound to the tracks on Horrorshow and their full length. What caused them to want to change the sound of the tracks which are on both CDs?

[HiddenInNJ]

first off why leave off the formula for the LP and secondly how proud are you to have come to success with self releasing The Horrow Show EP to now be signed and have the opportunity to release a fully produced LP?

[stuntmaniac]

ask them wether they believe that GENRE's are becomin overcrowed and overated, should bands be placed into a genre against their will?
And what do you think of the fall out boy craze? I personally like the band but think they would be better without the hype.

Chhhhhheeeerrrrssssss

[themooninureyes]

how did they get a show with Jack's and what are their expectations for the album and the tour.

[ghostiebreath]

Tell them they're brilliantly awesome and ask if Anhedonia is going to be available from anywhere British or whether we're going to have to spend £20 on postage to get our hard copy. Which we will, undoubtedly, be doing regardless, of course.

[CursedCarolers]

What do you think makes you stand out from a lot of the other bands coming up now?

[sam42004]

Ask them if Springfield will be the only cd release show they will have.
