AM: Which band are you most excited to see at the battle?
MW: Honest to Empire has had a great year and I'm really excited to see what they do.
AM: Most importantly, who is your favorite Diversions writer?
MW: It was Craig, but right now you're up there. Fifty-fifty maybe?
AM: It's fine; go 60/40, I won't be hurt.
MW: That's sounds good; 60/40. Either way, I'm excited to read Diversions this week.

Evan Churchill of Break As We Fall promises a surprise this Friday at Battle of the Bands. He wouldn't reveal what it is, however, so fans will have to show up and see what the band has up its sleeves.
Break As We Fall started as a side-project Churchill envisioned as an outlet for his self-described predilection for '90s pop and Michael Jackson. It soon became a full-blown outfit that now performs music derived from Jason Mraz, Gavin DeGraw and Maroon 5 influences.
Among his personal influences, Churchill lists Lauryn Hill, Jack Johnson and Ben Harper.
So anyone who wants to know what the love-child of Lauryn Hill and Adam Levine sounds like, be there Friday night when Churchill and the other members of Break As We Fall take the stage.

Alex McElroy: How long has the band been playing together, and how long have you been doing live shows?
Gabe Norris: We have been together for about a year and a half to two years. We started the band to do live performances, so we've been playing shows since our start.
AM: What is the band's biggest inspiration?
GN: I'd have to say all music. There isn't one single thing that inspires us.
AM: Which professional band have you been compared to?
GN: We've been called a cross between Death Cab for Cutie and Minus the Bear, but we don't like to compare ourselves for fear that we may force ourselves to play like the comparisons. We're ourselves.
AM: Your prediction for Battle of the Bands?
MW: Honest to Empire has had a great year and I'm really excited to see what they do.
