The Knockturnal: Composing your own music – I am sure comes with challenges. Each song from Troubleshooting carries a distinct and meaningful message. Did you experience creative challenges while working on the album? If so, how did you overcome them? Or should I say TROUBLESHOOT them?

The Knockturnal: Speaking of Troubleshooting the recent ‘Mood Film’ came out, and Villains loved it! This mood film in particular struck me with a serious vibe that got playful throughout. From the filming process of the mood film – can any of you recall any moments from the video shoot that stood out to you!
