Name Origin:
Levi Benton explained:
"We just came up with it because it wasn't something like the typical (kill, death, blood) name and was very different even because it ended in "I" - which really stood out like we wanted. But after we had the name we heard a lot of rumors it came from Mother May I, the old children's game, which we never even heard of.

So we just sometimes say it's from that (laughs). And after learning what it is about, we would like to have our name be about respect and having the crowd listen to our word like the game is played - listening to instructions."

Quotes:
"Well, we have been asked a lot if we are a Christian band due to our lyrics. And the answer to that is no, but some of us are Christians and others are not. But myself as a Christian, I try and not put the wrong negative message out in our lyrics. Most of what we stand for is just a band that plays for the fans. Nothing special; just to have the crowd be happy and love what we are doing as much as we do."
