Explaining the band's mantra, Josh says:

"We want to show everyone that despite it all, despite what the statistics say, despite what people say or any of that social media acceptance, it really doesn't matter. Thousands of people will reject you for being different but there are 10 times over that amount who will accept you and who are feeling just like you. If people can become a part of such a glorious resistance through our music, then that's our mission."
