  • Asked by HMV.com about the song on The Things We Do... that he's proudest of, Beach Slang frontman James Alex Snyder replied: "I can say I'm proud I had the guts to be as quiet and confessional as I am on 'Too Late To Die Young'. When you live guarded up, when you're used to not mattering, things like that feel kind of brave. And, there are cellos. Without apology."
