TWIST: How would you describe your new album Crazy World?
Boys Like Girls: On Crazy World, we tried a bunch of new things, and stayed away from the big wall of guitars.
TWIST: How does Crazy World differ from your previous albums?
BLG: It was written in Nashville. We had a bunch of friends and awesome musicians collaborate on it.
TWIST: Is there a song on the album that is particularly meaningful for you? If so, which one?
BLG: "Life of the Party" its a really cool track. It was awesome having some gospel singers come out and sing at the end.
TWIST: What's your songwriting process like?
BLG: Martin gets into a room, shows us some stuff and we just get after it.
TWIST: Who are some of your musical influences?
BLG: Some of my influences are bands like Nirvana, and Pearl Jamm ¬-- I loved the grunge era and am also very much into bands like Coldplay, and some newer bands, like The Lumineers.
TWIST: If you could work with any current artist, who would it be and why?
BLG: I would love to play drums in the Foo Fighters, or play drums for Jay-Z. I think that would be awesome.
TWIST: What's next for you? Do you have plans to tour?
BLG: Right now we just put our record out on Dec 11th, which we are super excited about! I am sure there will be a tour to follow.
