~Quotes from a couple magazine articles I own~
"We really just wanted to let people know that we are not some dark, industrial band in a basement with maggots" - Andy Kubiszewski

"You read it on paper and you sound like a schmuck. 'OK, a girl dumped you, big deal.' And it's like, you can't explain that this was your soulmate and that this person will never ever speak to you again, or you'll never see her again, and that you'll never touch her again, you'll never touch her hair again, nothing. That she's gone forever and will never be back. It's so hard to make someone understand how important that is. That this is the person you were supposed to be with everyday and every night until you died and you will never ever hear their voice again. It's so hard to make someone understand the importance of that. It doesn't translate well into words" - Christopher Hall
"I thought that UnGod had a very finger-pointing, 'You did this to me, you took this from me' vibe to it. And I think that's a very naive attitude. In reality, with the 2 years of retrospect on that prior relationship and relationships since then, obviously there's something about me that I keep cycling through the same sort of scenario. And I just decided on this record[WBB+P]that maybe it's time I honestly take a look inside myself to see what causes this rather than try to lay the blame on other people." - Christopher Hall
~Quote from 'Sex In The 90's~
"I love masturbation. Its one of my favorite subjects" - Christopher Hall
~Various Quotes~
"There's two types of people. There's the kind of people that have music spoon-fed to them over the radio and through MTV and then there's the type of people who actively seek out interesting music that means something to them. I think those people have found us." - Christopher Hall
"The song (Save Yourself) has an angry sort of feel to it on the surface,but there's deeper issues in the song that we're trying to convey. And I think that the video has created such a combination of darkness and beauty, at the same time that it can show that by passing through such a dark time you can create something beautiful. That's just what we're trying to capture here, something that's like greater than itself."- Christopher Hall
"the last album (wbb+p)cartainly helped people notice us, but i dont think were a house hold name by any streatch of the immagination. im not sure if well ever be one of those bands-on-everyones-lips kinda groups. maybe our sound is to strong, our message to dark for mass appeal-i dont know, there are some people who have heard of us-but there are still a lot of people who havnt"- Christopher Hall
"We like making music different from anything else out there"- Christopher Hall
"To stand on stage in front of a sea of people and have them respond to what your playing is truly a mind-blowing event."- Christopher Hall
"each step of your career is so interesting, in many ways it reminds me of going to school. you start off just being satisfied playing in clubs, then you graduate to landing a record deal. putting out our first album was like getting out of high school. the next one was like graduating from college. now that we've established ourselves a little bit its time to really step out and show what we can do."- Christopher Hall
"Both our (previous) albums sound good, but they dont sound like us. like, the photos always make us look so dark and mennacing but were really not all that scary."- Christopher Hall
"We take any genre-lumping to nine inch nails as a total compliment. its our third album so we'd like to step out from underneath that umbrella and say "we are our own entity." While we were inspired by bands that were inspirational to Trent (reznor), and Trent himself, this is our peice of art from inside us and nowhere else."- Christopher Hall
"Its about time for another Nirvava-esque movement, some band to come out of left field and club everyone over the head and change things. I don't know if we're going to be that band. but, its time for somebody to be that band."- Mark Eliopulos

"when we first formed stabbing westward we convinced ourselves that we were an industrial rock band. but we were limiting ourselves. we also got sick and tired of people compairing us to nine inch nails, so we dicided to write the kinda music we wanted to hear"-Christopher Hall
"im not slamming anything we did previously-i listen to ungod and it still has a lot of great moments-but it has taken us 3 records to find out who we are. its fortunate that we were given the oppourtunity to do so by our record company. too many bands get dropped by their labels and break up before tey ever figure out who they are"-Christopher Hall
"DARKEST DAYS is the result of having 5 songwrites in the band, its the result of a buncha individual efforts, not a group effort. as much as the people in this band try to portray the immage that we are a band, were not. we are 5 individuals who write songs on their own, put them together and then we play them together. but we never set up in a room and jam."-Christopher Hall
"the demo process preceding the process of darkest days was pure torture. i knew the album was going to be brialint or we'd end up breaking up."-Christopher Hall
"thats why there are 16 songs on the album. if we cut anyones song, theyd leave the band." "actualy we sat back and listened, it didnt seen that long, just complete."-Christopher Hall
