Here at AltCorner we love The Hype (who you may remember as 3ree).
To celebrate the release of their latest single Something in the Water, we asked vocalist/guitarist Mitch Volcan and drummer Sean Tighe to tell us some of their biggest influences.
Twenty One Pilots
Mitch: That band influences us in more ways than one, especially when it comes to how massive a two pieces can sound and the no boundaries attitude.
Green Day
Mitch: They are such an inspiration to how dedicated a band can be; they’re really doing it and sounding better than ever 30 years into their career. Also, Billie Joe would have to be the greatest punk frontman of all time.
MGK
Thirty Seconds To Mars’ The Kill
Sean: The drive and passion can really be felt throughout this track. Every time we listen to it, it makes us inspired on how you can make a dark-sounding song that also lifts your spirits. Definitely some magic came up in that track.
The Cure’s Friday I’m in Love
Mitch: I guess the original Emo band, the song is just a master piece. No emo band would be here if it wasn’t for The Cure. One of those tracks where I wish we wrote it.
