Maine Campus has issued an interview with IN FLAMES bassist Peter Iwers. The following is an excerpt from the interview, conducted by Zach Dionne prior to the band's recent live date in Worcester, MA:
Q: You guys have a really strong work ethic. MESHUGGAH recently commented in an interview on how you tend to do something like 260 shows a year while they lean more toward a hundred. So where does that come from?
A: "It's like you said, it's work ethic, you know. I mean, we do this for a living and we have been doing it for a long time and we know that, you know, we're not a radio band, we're not going to sell a million records overnight. We need to work at it, we need to be out there and play and it becomes good because that's why we started this; we love playing live. And the only downside can be being away for those 260 shows, from your family and stuff. But they're pretty understandable, so."
