Quddus: Your album “sticks and stones” debuted at no. 4 on billboard
charts.
NFG: It is weird for us.
NFG: It is all because of these people right here east coast
Quddus: Ha-ha that must be like a specialty — especially after you
paid your dues, man you did your thing for a while.
NFG: We’ve been a band if like about 6 years now. There’s bands out
there even longer touring non-stop but we just been on the road, we all
left college, high school and did it. All our fans have been supporting
us for 6 years now

stayed on the road and now we are here.

Quddus: Your video is doin’ pretty well on the count down on and off
“my friends over you” what were you tryin’ to prove with this video.

not only mistakes but old videos. We had our own —
NFG: All inside jokes, all things we didn’t think was funny but we thought
it was funny.

all the time. We want to come across as normal kids not a big image or
big thing goin’ on just show keep it real

Quddus: This is obviously about gettin’ over somebody. How hard is it
for you guys to meet ladies on the road.
NFG: It is tough ’cause you don’t have a fun. We do but we are never
