“11:11 actually began as a riff that me, Mike (drums) and Jim (bass) were screwing around with one time just before heading out on tour,” says vocalist/guitarist, Matt Bigland. “It kept on coming back, so eventually one day I sat down and wrote it, and I was like ‘shit… this is the start of the new record!!’ It was just so… BIG. It was really exciting…”
