HM Magazine. Pages 50— Has there been a spark of that early Haste the Day magic at all? We just kind of picked up right where we left off. When we started Haste the Day, I was the young, immature guy — always screwing around. But by the end of the band, I was the old professional guy. Elaborate on the shift in dynamic between the two eras of the band. It definitely feels more like home and more like family. The last lineup of Haste the Day was amazing, too, and they are definitely some of my best friends, but this original lineup is like real family.

You know, Devin was my youth pastor, and its just funny how this brings me back to all of that. I think its just going to be these shows and maybe some other spot dates if the opportunities present themselves. Are we going to see any cameos from later-era Haste the Day members or music at either of these reunion shows?

We might have something in the works. He then takes on a deep, scary voice. But I cannot say. As someone who was in the band from its inception over 10 years ago, a band that moved quickly from an underground sensation to a very successful band with a lot of records and big tours under their belts, how have you seen the music industry specifically the Christian music industry change in that time? Was there a seismic shift? Three years ago on our final tour, the Christian music scene was obviously much bigger than when we started.

Looking back to where we started, back then, it was a passionate niche. We were playing for our peers. The way the word was passed in the underground scene back when we started, the word of mouth, there was just a certain level of passion in that.

It was just something that very few people experienced, and growth was slow and organic and natural. As a band starting in that, we experienced that organic growth, and I think it was really good for the band to slowly grow like that. It just seems like a really forced way to do it. That breeds a passion for it.

That was the vibe of the scene a decade ago when we started this. Haste The Day was said to be their last. But suddenly, things were afoot in the Haste The Day camp this year. A new website was launched, an email list created. Now, Haste The Day are back for realsies. Are HTD the original lineup, or the final lineup? And both. Why did you call it quits in the first place, and what changed?

Trying to keep things on track without him was difficult. But after that I lost a little bit of the love for touring. It was still great. But it became more of a chore. It spoiled it. It just felt like it was time to do a farewell tour. It felt natural. If we had just kept going, I felt like I would have just been holding onto it, with a death grip. And I knew Mike was tired, too.

All of the other guys were eager to keep on going, but Mike and I just had this feeling that it was time to go. I remember a conversation where we said that if [longtime manager] Mark [LaFay], Mike or myself ever quit, the band would be over. So, when Mark emailed us to say he was leaving artist management—I remember, we were in the van.

How did the reunion of the original lineup happen? The rest of the original members had wanted to do it for a while. Eventually, I agreed. The show was incredible. After I decompressed, Stephen, Mark and I talked about what making another record might look like.
