| How would you define the music
your band makes? What genre?
ass-pounding pop punk hard core
Are you a rock band?
indeed
How important is your live
show in cultivating your album sound?
im confident that we can pretty much play our cd
on stage. we pull it off.
besides we are handsome lads, so boners and wet panties are a given, even
if
we suck that night.
How well does the sound of
your album translate into a live show? And
does it matter?
it matters alot. i hate going to see bands i like
and find out they suck
live.
How long did you play as
a band before you recorded your album?
we have been a band for three years . and have
a bunch of releases out
before this latest cd. where the hell ya been????
How important do you feel
the guitar is to contemporary music and is this good
or bad?
very important. why would that be bad?
Which is more important sound/atmosphere
or song/message?
both. if there is a nice atmoshere and melodie.
it is a lot easier to get
that message
How many times a week does
your band practice?
2-3 times a week , but we are always on tour so
we hardly ever do
Do you have a day job and
what is it?
no we quit our jobs to tour full time.
What is your definition of
success?
play music for a living. thats a dream . this is
fun , and to get paid for it is a joke. best job in the world.
Do musicians in general lose
credibility with the mass popular audience as
their music became free as traded mp3s on the internet?
no that stuff is cool with me. tons of kids come
up to me and say that they
downloaded a song of ours then went out to a show and bought our cd! it
works, its not as evil as some may think.
Where do you get most of
your music? Online stores, traditional record stores?
i get most of my music free. cuz i know alot of
bands and other folks that
can get me free stuff.
What % is indie vs. major?
alot of independent. but i dont mind going major.
good music is good music.
What bands do you feel aren't
getting the attention they deserve?
count me out, midtown , the stryder
Why aren't more indie bands
actively involved in political discussions?
Why have politics become so "uncool"?
your asking the wrong dude, politics bore me. i
dont include that crap in my
lyrics. this is about fun for me. not forcing my ideals on others.
Do you think the greater
presence of booking agents, distributors, and
publicity crews have made indie-rock in the mirror
image of the type of
musical organizations indie labels were trying to
remove/distance
themselves from?
with out those things, most bands would fall apart,
and not get the
recognition they deserve.
Do labels become obsolete
in the future? A future where a band can
inexpensively afford to record two songs and post
it on the Internet, and
possibly eventually stream their live shows through
high speed cable wires?
you want fries with that?
Do you feel the merger of
AOL and Time Warner will really mess things up,
or make cross entertainment (MSNBC/NBCi, CBS-VIACOM,
ABC-DISNEY) the new
standard for the future?
. umm. girls are pretty
