If you could give any piece of advice to bands playing CMJ next year, what would it be?
Matthew E. White: Give everything you have when you perform. There are a lot of things in NYC and at CMJ that can be distracting, but never let anything that goes on around you take away from the 45 minutes you get to perform your craft on stage. That is a privilege to always be thankful for.
