We The Kings is a melodic emo-pop band from Bradenton, Florida. Friends since childhood, the original four bandmates consisting of singer and guitarist Travis Clark, guitarist Hunter Thomsen, his bassist brother Drew Thomsen, and drummer Danny Duncan formed We The Kings while attending high school. They adapted their band name from the middle school that all the members attended called Martha B. King Middle School.
TC: The album title came first as it was always just an expression we used to remind ourselves to always keep it positive no matter what. We just added it to the song as it seemed to fit well with the vibe of that track.
TC: Are there bands that are discouraged to be musicians? I could never imagine haha. We are always encouraged and excited about what we do. Getting together and going on stage is a part of who we are and it will never get old.

1. Someday, I'm going to force enough red wine down Vancouver Canucks general manager Mike Gillis' throat that he'll have no choice but to reveal which teams made serious offers for Ryan Kesler at this deadline. It's one of those situations where everyone asks because you'd be a bad GM not to. But the real interest is in who went beyond an initial call. The Pittsburgh Penguins' lust is barely concealed. But in conversations over the past few days, it became clear that a number of serious Stanley Cup contenders thought some of the teams that concerned them most were making a pitch.
2. There is serious doubt the Canucks would keep Kesler in the Western Conference. But it's impossible to think there were no attempts. Chicago Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman denied any interest via email, writing "I have tried my best to convey that we will not be active but no one seems to want to listen. But I asked because some of his conference rivals clearly believed they were in. As one exec said, "How could he not ask about having Jonathan Toews and Kesler as his top two centres?"
3. Same thing with the Los Angeles Kings. I don't think it's possible now after the Sam Gagner trade fell apart due to salary-cap considerations. But if they were willing to add Gagner, it's inconceivable to think they were unwilling to add Kesler with a cap hit just $200,000 higher. If Kesler doesn't get traded now, I wonder if the Kings would try again after the season -- if they were unhappy with their playoff run. Again, the return would have to be great to justify this in B.C.
4. The preference is to deal him to the Eastern Conference and now, although the Canucks won't rush into anything they don't like. The Philadelphia Flyers, Penguins and New York Rangers have the proper pieces, with The Vancouver Province's Ben Kuzma reporting Kesler won't go to the Columbus Blue Jackets (I forgot about his negative relationship with R.J. Umberger). When it comes to trades like this, I always look for the team we haven't heard about. Is there someone we're missing?
5. "What the Canucks are asking for Kesler is reasonable enough that you can tell they will move him," one exec said. "What they wanted for [Alex] Edler is unreasonable enough that you can tell they don't want to move him." Unless, of course, the return is massive.
6. Bowman is quietly getting some important work done, with contract extensions for Brandon Bollig and Andrew Shaw. There's always a method to this and, from outside, it appears as if he's working around eventual extensions for Patrick Kane, Toews and, to a lesser degree, Brandon Saad. All three players can sign new deals this summer. Smart thinking.
7. We love the big moves. But as we head into the final 24 hours to the 3 p.m. ET Wednesday deadline, keep an eye on the small ones. Twenty teams are within $2 million of the cap. More than half of those are using long-term injury exemptions, which limits further flexibility if they're expecting those wounded mortals to return. So if a trade for a draft pick or a waiver move makes you scratch your head, wait to see if a second shoe drops.
8. Who could try this? Maybe the Anaheim Ducks. The way the cap works, you "bank" the space you save every day and Anaheim's worked very hard to maximize that. It has made more than 50 transactions back and forth between its NHL team and its AHL affiliate, the Norfolk Admirals. There's two reasons a team does this: a tight budget; and/or saving up for the deadline. Anaheim is a budget team. But the manoeuvring has left the Ducks with breathing room -- in a year where they lead the NHL in points.
9. Nashville Predators GM David Poile told The Tennessean' John Glennon that David Legwand is unlikely to be traded. "If we trade David for a draft pick or prospect that's not going to come in and play here [immediately], you could argue quite convincingly that that's not going to make us a better hockey club," Poile said. For what it's worth, there was one point earlier in the season I chased a rumour that Anaheim was interested in Legwand, only to have it roundly denied. It came up again this week. But if the Ducks are serious, they're going to have to up the offer.
10. Why it's so hard to believe Pat LaFontaine willingly resigned as Buffalo Sabres president? Because nothing that's happened in the past few days is normal. Lafontaine misses a speaking engagement and the audience is told he's ill. Head coach Ted Nolan stumbles through a media conference, stunned at what's happened. We've seen people go into The Cone of Silence (Claude Noel, Darcy Regier, Ron Wilson) and all of them were fired. And no one who's going to say, "I just wanted to go back to New York City" needs a confidentiality agreement.
11. As crazy as it looks, truth is it's probably best for the franchise. Think about what happened last week. There were reports they were going to re-sign Ryan Miller. Then, Sabres GM Tim Murray said that was never the plan. It doesn't take Sherlock Holmes to see what was happening. Whether you are on Team LaFontaine or Team Murray, you must agree on one important fact -- you cannot have two master chefs. There can only be one boss.
12. During the recent Olympics, word was Nolan, who coached Latvia in Sochi, had a three-year extension waiting for him and John Vogl of The Buffalo News reported last week there was supposed to be an announcement last Tuesday. If it doesn't work out, two names expected to get consideration are AHL coaches Luke Richardson (Binghamton) and Terry Murray (Adirondack).
