The Belle Brigade’s Barbara & Ethan Gruska – HuffPost 4.19.11

Mike Ragogna: What advice do you have for new artists?

Barbara Gruska: The same advice that we try to give to ourselves everyday, which is just to keep on working hard. Even when you’re busy and you’re touring, just to keep on writing and keep on collaborating and trying to grow as a band. Never be satisfied with what you just finished, keep on going forward.

MR: Ethan?

Ethan Gruska: I agree, I think always just sticking through. If you’re writing a song, just keep on revising and getting it to the highest place that you feel it. Also, being honest and not being something that you’re not. That is a very hard thing to do. Sometimes, when it just comes naturally to do, it’s just a really rewarding thing.
