What are your songs about? (attempting to avoid any cliche) But in life everyone experiences setbacks and let downs, what keeps them going is how the individual chooses to deal with the problem. They can either accept defeat or move past the obstacle and take their life into their own hands. Each person is responsible for their own path and we are trying to promote the fact that when you go down, be ready to fight to get back up and succeed.
Having dealt with a great number of these experiences as a musical group already, we've felt the focus hits us all on a very personal level and it is for that reason more enjoyable to write about. It definitely serves as a release for all of us.
What is your genre? We get asked this question all of the time. Instead of limiting ourselves to one magnified genre, we like to write what we think sounds good and what everyone in the band is vibing off of depending on our mood. Some songs are heavier than others, some are more passionate. If you want to throw it in a genre call it metalcore.
If you could open for one band, who would it be? Tough question, but we'd have to go with a day to remember and august burns red because draw influence from both equally and they put on great shows.
What advice do you have for people who want to form their own bands? To try to keep this answer as short as possible, it's first about finding the right group of people and making sure that you are able to work together musically and personally. Individually, if music is where your heart is at and you want to perform, don't let anything stand in your way and keep acting on your passion. Act as if the band is one mind and each member is a different cog or gear keeping it running. If one gear fails, the whole project crashes. Also, to space out your shows so that you can bring in more of your fans. Most people don't want to see their friend play every weekend so it'll be hard to bring in a draw that way. By bringing a draw in front of the right people can help benefit you more than anything else, as networking is one of the things we value most.
