"After listening to their new album on repeat the entire day, I caught up with two members of Dinner and a Suit, Joey (far right) and Jonathan (center), before they played a short (but amazing) acoustic set in NYC, to chat about the inspirations behind their music, embarrassing tour moments, and, of course, what they&amp;#039;re looking for in a girl. Check out the interview, then snag a free download of their latest single, &amp;quot;Too Late&amp;quot;!  Seventeen: So, there has to be a story behind the name Dinner and a Suit... Joey Beretta: Well, Jon and I [They&amp;#039;re cousins!] grew up hearing this story about our great-grandma. She worked at a suit factory in the early 1900s, and she would take home defective ones that were going to be discarded anyways. Then, she would fix them up and invite people who were homeless and jobless over, cook them dinner, and give them a new suit before they left. 17: Where did most of the inspiration for your new album, Since Our Departure, come from? JB: When we moved from Philly to Nashville, it was a really big deal for us. Leaving home and going somewhere where you&amp;#039;re not really sure what&amp;#039;s going to happen is something I think a lot of people go through. Jonathan Capeci:That&amp;#039;s a big theme of the album: leaving and wondering if you did the right thing. Then, there&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;Where We Started,&amp;quot; which is one of those songs about a relationship that went wrong and wishing you could&amp;#039;ve done something differently. We did want there to be a little hope in there too, not just a depressing &amp;quot;We miss home!&amp;quot; album. 17: What are some of the most awesome fan moments you&amp;#039;ve ever had on any tour? JC: Anytime someone comes to a show with a t-shirt they&amp;#039;ve made is always really cool. Honestly, just day-to-day when people are singing along, that&amp;#039;s just the coolest feeling. 17: You&amp;#039;re both definitely some of our newest celeb crushes \u2014 what could one of our readers do to win your hearts? JB: It&amp;#039;s important to me for a girl to be able to roll with the punches and be spontaneous. Also, I make stupid jokes all the time, and she can&amp;#039;t take them too seriously. JC: For me, as cheesy as it sounds, I think it&amp;#039;s probably just loyalty. We are on the road a lot, so if you don&amp;#039;t feel like you can trust someone, it&amp;#039;s pretty hard to engage in any kind of relationship other than a friendship. 17: What are some of your most embarrassing moments, on tour or otherwise? JC: One time, I was in a play at our church, and Joe&amp;#039;s mom always made the costumes. She had to make about fifty costumes, so I&amp;#039;m sure that the quality wasn&amp;#039;t necessarily up to par. My pants were just way too big. So, the big night comes, the debut of the play, and my big part as a guard comes where I had to take somebody to jail. I had my sword in one hand, and a prisoner in the other... and my pants were just suddenly gone! JB: A few shows ago, I had just bought a new guitar, and it kept falling off the strap! My guitar just kept crashing to the floor in the middle of songs! There&amp;#039;s really no coming back from that, you know? It wasn&amp;#039;t cool, like I was smashing it at the end of the show or anything! Have you fallen in love with Dinner and a Suit yet?
