That's all Suffa had to say when asked about the Hilltop Hoods' only Tasmanian show in Hobart this Saturday.
Seven albums in and the group's Cosby Sweater Australian Tour celebrates their most recent release, Walking Under Stars.
Fifteen years have now passed since the Hilltop Hoods released their first album but Suffa still said that one of his favourite things to do was make music in the studio.
"You just still have to be passionate about it and still enjoy it," he said. "We try to hopefully fulfil people's expectations."
Although the album is positioned as a companion piece to Drinking in the Sun, the group has taken this record in a different direction to what they have released in the past.
While tracks like Cosby Sweater continue to bring with them the atmosphere and excitement the group is known for, songs like Through the Dark and Live and Let Go explore a more emotional side of the group's personal lives.
While this was not his intention from the start, Suffa said he was proud of how the album has turned out.
He said that after almost two years of work it feels rewarding to finally be touring the album.
"We really feel like we're part of a movement and that's really special.
"It's a bit more difficult with this tour because there are a lot of slower tracks and tracks that are laid back.
"But we're going to tour this album hard."
Supported by Thundamentals and the Hilltop Hoods' record label Golden Era Records' latest signing K21, this is the band's first headline show since 2012.
This time around the show will feature a three-piece horn section.
"We never stagnate and try not to recycle the same show over and over again.
"We have a ball and the shows are just so much fun."
