Lead singer Brian Aubert said, "This was never something in our sights. We have never even had a fantasy about this. It just wasn't on our radar. However, we do feel insanely proud of our label and everyone involved with us. The nod from the Grammys makes us feel real warm inside. We're astonished, excited, and completely humbled by it."
