"Now on the album there are a whole lot of vocal effects, just adding to the songs and making them what you'd expect and hope we'd do."
Brendan says since Lorde made her mark on the industry, the world is keeping a close eye on New Zealand for new music.
"From what I have learnt from Billboard - top 100 charts in America - they put out a prediction for this year, and they reckon the whole world is banking on New Zealand artists and bands since Lorde. They've started looking at our country now."
The band now has a new base player, Hamish McKenzie, after former base player Matt Ogden left to pursue other interests. The line-up consists of guitarist and original member Jared Stevenson, drummer Jeremy Badger, and Brendan, who along with being lead singer, is the manager and an original member.
Currently embarking on their anti-bullying tour around the North Island, the band will also appear on the Good Morning show.
Between studying and the band, Brendan works part-time on a Matamata farm and says he could not ask for a better job to complement his music ambitions.
"It is a lot of hours spent on a tractor, so I find that time I have a lot of time to sit and think about melodies and lyrics. Wide open spaces where I can yell and sing and do whatever. It is really freeing."
Brendan says his overall goal for the band in the long run is to be as big as Paramore. "I just want to do everything."
"I want to open for Paramore, I want to play at Van Warped tour, I want to do a worldwide tour, I want to have heaps of music videos, and I want to have our song on the music charts. As long as we get somewhere; to be able to sell out shows, have people watching us, that's what I want."
