| 10 Years – Shoot It Out Lyrics | 15 years ago |

Interviewer: Give us some insight into the record Feeding the Wolves and the meaning behind its title. Brian: The title comes from a lyric in the song "Shoot it Out." That song is about how the music industry is totally based on hit songs, trends, and singles nowadays and a major lack of artist development. Record companies just want bands to shoot out singles, hence the title, "Shoot it Out." Bands like us become reliant on the industry for our livelihood. When all of a sudden your musical hobby becomes your means of paying your mortgage payment and feeding your children, you unfortunately get caught up in the machine and have to face compromise and sacrifice. Feeding the Wolves is a metaphor for musicians having to feed the music industry machine. In order to gain success in this industry, everyone must get their back scratched a little. It’s an unfortunate truth. |
