Scott Sellers talked with PunkRockTheory about his new album:
I never talked much about mental health with Rufio. I feel like those songs were surface level. Material things. As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized the importance of talking about the shit that’s going on in my brain. To friends. To family. To anyone who is listening. Talking freely about anxiety, or depression, or just mental health in general is a VERY hard thing to do- especially to someone who hasn’t experienced the same issues. A lot of people think that anxiety and/or depression equals suicide. Or self harm. Or substance abuse. Sure, those things do happen with some people, but I’m convinced that the majority of these people (me included) want to LIVE. And live a clean, and happy, and healthy life. Talking about about it in song is a lot easier for me. Talking about it via an email interview is cool too.
