Q1 – Who is in your band?
Alex Pearce on vocals, Graham Scanlon on drums, Brad Seabrook on bass, and me (Cole Lamb) on guitar
Q2 – What is your take on your own sound?
I try to write pretty chaotic stuff and some technical riffing. I’m very influenced by bands like Converge, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Every Time I Die, etc.
Q3 – If someone was listening to your music for the first time, what song would you tell them to listen to and why?
Probably ‘Bitter Breath’, but I guess it depends on what music they’re into. Bitter Breath is a slow burning metalcore/hardcore kind of song that’s really catchy. If someone’s more into death metal I’d recommend ‘VPD’ which has a bunch of blast beats and shredding.
Q4 – What is the plan for 2019?
There’s not much left of the year. Our plan is to do this release tour in the fall, we have some plans with our friends in Pound from Seattle to do a little run in January. We’re planning to book more studio time for the next EP in February and hoping to book a tour in the early spring.
Q5 – What is the one song you wish you wrote?
‘Blueprints For Future Homes’ – Norma Jean, or ‘Like Cowardice’ – Defeater. We used to cover both of those songs, so fun to play.
Q6 – What three bands inspired or continue to inspire you the most?
When I was in high school bands I think the one band that really pushed me to start writing and playing fast music would be Darkest Hour. Honestly in 2019 what inspires me the most is working with professional bands who have been working their ass off to get somewhere with music. We did a short run with Enterprise Earth recently and watching them do the grind and perform flawlessly every night is extremely inspiring, and where we want to be. Another huge inspiration would be Converge. We’ve covered multiple songs by them and they’ve been around forever and still grinding.
