“Gold rocks!! You grow up hearing about artists going gold and dream of what it would be like,” commented EYB drummer Chris Thompson. “Gold has always been such a measure of success.” Lead singer Mike Eli added, “It’s pretty cool that the single went gold before the record even came out.” Thompson continued, “This is a huge milestone for us.”
