Interview with Never Look South!!!

Here are the members of the band:

Slocki: Clean Vocals
Elijah: Vocals
Jose: Lead Guitar/Keyboard
David aka - ~Something: Bass
Chelsea: Drums

Here are the questions I asked them and below are their group responses:

1. What inspired you guys to play music?

What inspired some of our members to play music was family. Other inspiration was just the music itself, an amazing thing that we can all agree to always enjoy doing.
2. How has music changed your life?

Music has made us realize what is real in this world, the struggles we deal with, and has changed our attitude/perspective of the world. Some of us even quit watching television and became more dedicated/passionate about improving in our music.

3. What bands do you guys listen to and how has it influenced your music?

August burns red for the technical rhythms, the drummers and guitars use of course. Escape the Fate, Of Mice & Men and A Day To Remember would really describe us because of the pop/punk melodies and singing, mixed with an aggressive heavier sound.

4. What advice do you guys have for others that want to pursue in music as a career?

Some advice for other's pursing music is practice, never give up of course. It is gonna require tons of patience. If someone has nothing supportive to say, ignore it. You are talented and don't let someone ever tell you that you can't do something. Especially if you are in that "metal/core" scene, strive for it. If Bring Me The Horizon and A Day To Remember can go big with all their haters, so can you.. :) 
5. Where did you guys the idea for the name of your band?

Our guitarist Jose suggested Never Look North, then our current vocalist Elijah talked it over and they both decided Never Look South because you should never look down to yourself. Always look forward and keep your head up with faith in yourself.

6. What do you guys want your fans to know about you that they might not know already?

That we are all closer than it seems, although we go to different schools we treat each other like a family. Also, that even though we are in a Post-hardcore band does not mean we are not open up to different styles of music. We enjoy all genres of music from the 70's, 80's and 90's.
7. What do you guys think when you are on stage?

Chelsea: That I inspire other girls to prove guys wrong, we can also be great muscians.

David: If I forget the music; play open, and if Jose is moving at all. -_-

Slocki: Chelsea what are the words to the song, how does the song go?!

Elijah: Never usually get nervous about performing, usually get nervous on how the crowd is going to react. So no matter what, get the crowd to go wild. The best way is with a good 'ol transform musical talent :)

Never Look South wants you to never look back on who you are and make each day a step towards the real you, no matter if you have people telling you other wise. So with this inspiration advice that they gave us, you should like their page because it is a step towards your dream if you do :)
