Where can we find you right now and what are you up to?
We're located in Southeastern Ohio. Right now we're getting ready for the last few shows we have booked for 2023, And working on material for our second album Which should be out mid-late 2024.
Tell us a bit about your influences.
Our influences... That's a list that could take up your entire magazine so We'll just name a short list.
Travis Barker, The Misfits, Social Distortion, Slipknot, GnR, Godsmack, High on Fire, and Om.
How did you start?
Our bassist met our singer at one of the local venues, And after a few dozen drinks together decided to start a band. They already had a drummer in mind, So they kept looking for a guitarist.
After three guitarists in three years, They found Andrew. And here we are.
What obstacles does an emerging artist have to face in our time?
There are almost too many to list, Honestly. Getting your music out there, Drawing an audience without being a "cookie cutter band", booking shows, dealing with the everyday politics of your local scene...
What worked for you marketing-wise? What advice or tips would you give to new artists?
For us, What's working is a combination of word of mouth about our shows, Our budding online presence, And almost always being willing to play.
What we'd tell new artists is: Put on a show that people will remember. Jump around in the crowd with the audience. Go lay across someone's table (if the venue has them) while you play.
People will remember that more than the guys who just stay in one spot their whole set.
Oh, And build your online presence.
What are your goals? Where do you see yourself in five years?
Our main goal is to become a national touring band, And to go up from there.
Tell us about your latest or upcoming release.
Our debut album was released 07-01-23, And is for sale in physical form through our band's facebook or instagram if you contact one of us.
We're going back to the studio after our last show this fall, And should have the new album finished and released by late summer or early fall of 2024.
