Ithaca High School trio write songs in Greg Graffins basement. Here's a few lines from The Itacha Journal. Read the complete article here
With Froncek's departure from the band, Vidal and Quan have moved their rehearsal space to Lansing, accepting an offer from Bad Religion singer-songwriter Greg Graffin to practice and write songs in his basement studio.
"Currently Maia and I are collaborating and writing an astonishing amount of new material," Quan said. "Greg is helping us out and getting us on our feet. He wants to direct us on a more advanced level musically and professionally."
"Before we were just using his space, and he'd give us chips and salsa and make us feel at home," added Vidal of Graffin, who helped Kievan Rus land a slot on the Warped Tour's Darien Lake stop last summer. "Now he's been teaching us the ropes on how to arrange a song. We've been writing more, so it's cool."

Todd, Graffin's been a songwriter for 25 years. I think he can manage some songwriting tips.
