How do get to know someone? You can stalk their socials but if you want to bypass small talk and get to know your favorite bands and artists beyond the surface level, this is the place to be. Sometimes the oddball questions allow you to learn the most interesting things about a person and see the varied, unique, and special qualities of a creative mind. Shall we?
Welcome to Metal Digest’s ABOUT. column
Please introduce the band in the most spontaneous way.
Do you like doing drugs? Drugs are bad mkay. Do band instead. Just as financially irresponsible, with less withdrawal and more cringeworthy experience.
The Pulse-Escape Method, love that shit.
What’s something an outsider wouldn’t know about your band?
Brian lived in Tennessee and played fingerstyle country music for years.
What’s the career highlight you’re most proud of?
Hearing our song on the radio for the first time.
Lyrics that stuck with you?
Josh – Dance Gavin Dance’s “Pounce Bounce”
Whats it like to be a marble, did I get something in your eye?
Shes a referee, and I am lethally, overdosed on pumpkin pie
Blair – Foo Fighters “Everlong”
The only thing ill ever ask of you. You gotta promise not to stop when I say when
What’s the phone app you use most?
Josh – I regularly participate in the Tindy500
Blair – Fiver
Brian – Zoom
Luke – UberEats
What’s your favorite way to spend a day off?
Josh – I make French press coffee when I don’t have to wake up early
Blair – cocaine and hookers I have two young kids and I love spending time with them
Brian – I build a lot of things. I put in a pool (for fun, no one even swims in it)
Luke – I use my time off to plug in a recharge my batteries and skip zoom calls
Are you more of a “play music to live” or a “live to play music” type of person?
Live to play music. All of us have careers or professions
How would your 10-year-old self-react to what you do now?
Shock and awe
What career advice would you give to young musicians in the rock and metal industry?
Be accepting to everything you hear live. Local metal communities are an amazing source of innovation and personal expression. Use that as fuel and try to create something that you are above all, proud of.
If you could do it all over again, would you pursue the same career in music?
Absolutely, without any hesitation.
