"We got nominated as the No. 1 Most Faceless Band, and it said some stupid stuff in there which basically stated, 'It's not about the music, it's what you look like.' How lame is that? Whether it's true or not, it shouldn't be about that. It should be about the music," says Estrin, adding that the album the nomination was based on sold more than a million copies.
"Sorry we're not The Strokes; sorry we're not The White Stripes," he apologizes, adding, "If you are part of the press, I hate you guys."
