When you look at what Ithaca is right now and what you have created with this new album, how does that make you feel?
"It feels amazing, to be honest. As a band, especially me, we have never really given a shit about what anyone thinks, but to a certain degree, there was always that feeling that every young band has. Trying to conform to what is happening in the scene, or even if you are trying to stand out, you're still trying to stand out within that scene. You want to in the hardcore scene, but you want to be different in the hardcore scene. You want to be in the metal scene, but you want to be the quirky ones in the metal scene. I think the only difference to that this time around is that we don't want to be in the scene. That's the paradigm shift. It's all well and good wanting to be that thing in a certain corner, but once we completely let go of the idea of having to be something or aim for something or someone, everything felt different. We truly are going to do whatever the fuck we want now, and whatever the ramifications of that are, we will deal with it."
Was there a switch that you can pinpoint where seeing and doing things differently took hold?
