Before their first tour date on their co-headlining tour with Every Avenue, Tay Jardine and Jordan Eckes of We The In Crowd stopped by the J-14 office and gave us an exclusive acoustic performance, dished to us all about their current tour, their favorite songs off their album Best Intentions, and their plans for 2012!
J-14: You're currently on the unofficially titled I Love Tourtles tour. Where did that come from?
Tay Jardine: There's a YouTube video from that kid on Halloween and the news reporter is like, "What are you being for Halloween?" and he's like, "I like turtles," so Josh [Randall] from Every Avenue Tweeted about it and said, "I think we should name it 'I Love Turtles.'" It's so unofficial that I don't even know what it is.
J-14: What are you most looking forward to about touring with Every Avenue?
Jordan Eckes: Every Avenue is a bunch of really fun dudes.
Tay: They like to work out. Maybe I'll get my work out on. I bring my running shoes every tour and I'm like, "Yeah, I'm going to do it," and then they sit in the trailer for a month.
