"Gentlemen, Start Your Bonfires!" [Impending Mania]

"Gentlemen, Start Your Bonfires!"

Fans seem to be in such a euphoric, excited confusion, they don't realize the irony in the statement. It's dangerous to have bonfires in Australia. It's unlawful; looked down upon by those not invited to the party.
But, whoever gets the invitation, is pretty much guarunteed a great time rebelling.

Similar, this band. Whoever is lucky enough to grasp the idea of Maniac will have the time of their life when the leashes break and the dogs run loose. These metaphoric dogs are partners Jake Grigg of Something With Numbers and Shawn Harris from The Matches. Jake, known for the curly hair, rhythmic ability, and primitive/brilliant creative instincts, met Shawn when The Matches tours Australia.
Shawn explains in an Absolutepunk interview that he believes the two of them are like opposite charged magnets:
I don't fully agree with this, because I know for a fact Shawn has the same colossal intuitions. Really, the only thing that switches their poles is how they release that gut talent- Shawn is a word wizard. He inflicts emotion whether you want it or not. See the title if you have any questions- His four words inspired this blogpost. Jake is more like me: The energy, from what I can tell, is constantly radiating off him. I bet he has spontanious nature and is easily affected by emotions. [Lawlz I should become a horoscope writer.]
Of course this is all speculation, especially about their personalities, but who can't speculate when they post so many thought provoking status updates?

Look out for the Maniac EP, coming out sometime soon.
I'll rave about it later.
