1. What inspired you guys to play music?

Self expression, you can do it in so many ways. You can write a song that is funny or that relates to everyday life.

2. How has music changed your life?

Music has changed our lives in many ways. Music is there when no one else is, it is more than words on paper because it feeds the soul.

3. What bands do you guys listen to and how have they shaped your music?

Social distortion, Bad Religion, Rancid and many more. We learned to play different styles from these bands. Whether its how to write a song that is fast and kicks a** or slow and can rock you out.

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

Don't give up or listen to negative feedback. Play the music you want and feel comfortable playing because in the end it is what you feel inside. Also keep an open mind to styles of music you encounter.

5. Where did you guys get the idea for the name of your band?

Well one day driving down the road I (Omar) saw a sign that read limit 10 tons, but I read it as 10 ton limit and the name stood.

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

We are all goofs because we like to joke around a lot on and off stage. We can do some embarrassing stuff.

7. What are you thinking when you guys are on stage?

(Omar/guitar-voc): I hope I dont fall.
(Nick/guitar): Corn Nuggets :)
(Joe/drummer): Not much (haha)

Interview with Austin Morris!!! My 100th Interview :)

Austin Morris is a solo artist and the genre of music that he focuses on is: Acoustic/Indie/Pop

Link to get a better snap shot of what Austin Morris is all about:

Austin Morris lives in Springfield, MO and http://www.facebook.com/austinmorrisofficial#!/austinmorrisofficial?sk=info that is his official music page where you can hear his singles.

Below are his responses:

1. What inspired you to play music?

What inspired me to play music was the fact that everything else that I imagined doing in life just never seemed to click. The thought of working an office job or sitting at a desk completely made me sick, I mean.. I enjoyed sports and comedy but it never really held much interest for long.
One day when I was 15 I picked up a pair of drum sticks and started grooving. Thats how it all began and it has just taken off from there.

2. How has music changed your life?

Music has changed my life in so many different ways. It' is in every beat of my heart and every thought that comes out of my crazy little brain. I can't go five minutes without writing a new tune, honestly. I write A LOT of happy tunes because that is the main message I want to spread: Happiness :) I want people to be inspired to carry on with their dreams, just by listening to me do what I love to do.3. What bands do you listen to and how have they shaped your music?

The bands/artists that have shaped and inspired my music from the very beginning has been "blink-182, Michael Buble, Joe Brooks, John Mayer, Jack Johnson, Michael Jackson, Owl City, Angels & Airwaves, The Format, Taylor Swift, The Cab, Hellogoodbye" and much more.
These bands and artists made me dream, grow, and strive to be better than I am as a singer/songwriter and an overall artist.
4. What advice do you have for others that want to pursue in music as their career?

My advice for others that want to pursue music as a career is to never give up. If you are going to start this journey it is not an easy one and I will be the first to tell you. You will fail before you gain any success, but that is the beauty of it all, through trail and error you WILL succeed if you press on. Pour your passion and time into it. Don't give up, because legends never do.5. Where did you get the name of your band from?

Well I originally started out as "London Lights" back in the old days (Myspace), then I got really tired of people calling ME London. I was like "MY NAME IS AUSTIN!". So when I actually got some studio time at Engaged Audio (Producer Kevin Gates) to record my first actual pop song "1500 Miles", That is when I decided that it was time to just go by my real name Austin Morris. 6. What do you want your fans to know about you that they might not know already?

If my fans don't already know it, I love hearing from them!
I love talking to them and I chat all the time on twitter just follow me @itsAustinMorris . My favorite thing is when I get videos of fan love on YouTube or people covering my songs, it just makes my day! I am a pretty goofy guy with a lot of love for every single one of you because without you I can't keep this dream of mine going!

7. What are you thinking about when you are on stage?

When I am on stage there is only a million things running through my mind, but the one that always is the most thought of is: "I wonder how many are going to sing along?"

So if you come see me play you should learn yourself some lyrics, so you can sing them louder than me (haha)

Austin Morris wants only three things from people every where: 1. I want people to be inspired to carry on with their dreams, just by listening to me do what I love to do. 2. He wants every one to sing along with him at his shows or when you are listening to his songs :) 3. Go to his shows and share his music to everyone you know because don't you want your friends to be happy all the time :)

Interview with Ionia!!!

Here are the members of the band:

Blaise Beyhan - Vocals

Freddy Epps - Bass

Christopher AhKao - Guitar

Kyle Walters - Guitar

Curtis Collazo - Drums

Below are their group responses:

1. What inspired you guys to play music? 

Music has helped us through so many trying times as individuals and helped 

us grow into the close friends we are today. We needed music to be a part of lives 

because it has given so much to us.

2. How has music changed your life?

  

I dont know what I would be with out it. I can not imagine a time where 

music has not been there for me because it has shaped every memory in my life being good or bad. 

Music has helped us when we lost friends and brought us new ones that we made on the road. It has had an impact on every moment that I have been here. Sometimes
without me even noticing it right away.

3 What bands do you guys listen to and how have they shaped your music?

 
MOVING MOUNTAINS, APPLE SEED CAST, THRICE, BRAND NEW, LA DISPUTE,
AND SO MANY OTHERS. 

I would say we are always changing and evolving as a band and what we
listen to is so eclectic and that is where we get our sound. We don't define
ourselves as any particular style. We like so many kinds of music. We just try to 

write from a genuine place and hope at the end of the day that people can get something out of it.

4 What advice do you guys have for others that want to pursue in music as
there careers?
 

Don't do it to be famous or rich, do it because there is something in you
that needs it and can't let it go. Stay true to yourself and don't follow trends and others will see, plus appreciate it.

5. Where did you guys get the idea for the name of your
band?
 

To us it means no single concentration of power. It is not about any one of
us. We do what we do for the good of the music. We have to fight away our
egos and try to find a still place where we can really hear one another,
and the world around us. We wanted something that stood for an idea of reaching for a better place for all of us. A goal and reminder to ourselves that we need to keep pushing for that, plus
never forget why we started this.

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

We are just people trying to make a difference in the small ways that we can. Through our music and the choice's we make everyday will help make that a reality.

7. What are you guys thinking when you are on stage?

  

Here we are, There you are, There is no band or audience, just all of us
together feeling alive.

Ionia wants to change the world through their music and the pieces they write helps heal one person each day from the calamities they encounter in their every day lives. Want to feel like your problems are fading away, then check out Ionia on Facebook:   www.facebook.com/ioniamusic

Interview with Something Else!!!

Here are the members of the band:

Erik Kielty = lead guitar, vocals

Joey Lorimer = bass guitar, back up vocals

Eric Eltringham = guitar, back up vocals

Scott Quimby = drums

Below are their group responses: 

1. What inspired you guys to play music? 

We all have always loved listening to music our entire life. We all grew up with interests remotely in the same genre, so we decided why not try to learn how to play it, since we listen to it on a constant basis.

2. How has music changed your life? 

In many ways. It gives us something to do, which is important to us because where were from there is really absolutely nothing to do. If you are not on a sports team or you are not in some sort of organized activity, you are pretty much screwed. It is basically the remedy to boredom and the opening to something new and is constantly growing for the fans.

3. What bands do you guys listen to and how have they shaped your music? 

Well we have all kind of expanded our tastes in music. It all varies between punk, alternative, pop punk with bands like: Brand New, Green Day, New Found Glory, Yellowcard, Set Your Goals, ect. Then you get to some of the heavier stuff with bands like: Volumes, The Contortionist, Emmure, and then you get to the classic rock like: Bruce Springsteen, CCR, The Beatles, and all of these genres, plus more are naturally always kept in mind while writing or working on a new song. You take the things you have heard or know and try to take that and make your own sound that you, plus others can enjoy.

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

We are still gathering up advise ourselves. A band or a musician can never get enough advice when it comes to there profession. Some advice would be to always keep a positive attitude and work with your band as a team of brothers (or sisters) to be legit and become successful. Always work and become better at there craft, no matter what it is.

5. Where did you guys get the idea for the name of your band? 

We basically came up with a bunch of really bad names, and it was said that we need to name our band something else meaning a different name, but we took it literal and decided to name it Something Else.

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

We want our fans to know that they are completely amazing for cominn out to our shows and listening to our music, just giving us the time of day. I dont think any of them have any idea how much it means when they do that, so thank you, thank you, thank you :).

7. What are you guys thinking when you are on stage?

When were on stage, were all thinking the same thing for the most part. There is always the thoughts of holy shit I need a drink or I definitely should have brought a towel with me (I am sweating bad, or was that note flat? did I mess up that fill? hahah). It is always really good when you are on stage and you look out. You see all the kids your performing to going crazy for your set. When you see the audience jumping around or clapping there hands to the beat of the song/singing your lyrics back to you. That is one of the best feelings about being in a band. When you are on stage and you see that people are responding, and there having a good time because of your own music, it is amazing!!! 

A band that know whats up and is constantly trying to be something better is a band that I think everyone should listen to. That band is Something Else and they want their name to be known for a band that combines all your favorite types of music in one. Something Else is on Facebook, so go listen to their music because they are truly something else.

Interview with Conversions!!!!

Here are the members of the band:

	Mitchell Lujan- Guitar, Vocals, Percussion  Joe Peifer- Lead guitar Nathan Pizano- Bass Amrit Mahi- Drums

Below are the group responses:

1. What inspired you guys to play music? 

Well to put it simply we suck at sports, so music is plan B (haha), but in all seriousness music to us is very unpredictable because there is so much to do and to just create something from nothing. If you build it to its true potential is an amazing and accomplishing feeling that motivates us to do it day after day.

2. How has music changed your life? 

Music has changed our life in the sense that it gives us something else to love and work at. Putting together something that sounds good to us has the capability to fill other areas in our life that can weigh us down and it can be very therapeutic.

3. What bands do you guys listen to and how have they shaped your music? 

Each of us have our own set of bands that we really enjoy, the list can range from The Mars Volta to John Legend. We also don't write music with the intentions to capture an already established sound or style, but it is easy to say we have drawn a certain amount of influence from each artist or band we have listened to.

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

(Haha) It would feel sort of weird, yet flattering that we would be asked for advice since we are still very new to the music scene, but the only musical advice we could possibly give is to acknowledge if something needs more or less to a song and to keep experimenting.

5. Where did you guys get the idea for the name of your band?

 Our band name? Hmmm....well we have a couple stories. Story #1: We all love math. Story #2: Story #1 is not true.

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

We would like our fans to know how serious we are about making and performing our music. So much effort is put into our songwriting, so even when people tell us they will be attending our next upcoming show, it makes our day.

7. What do you guys think about when you are on stage?

Mitchell: I am in my own world when I first step on stage, but I willingly force myself out of my shell when it is time to play some music and playing for a crowd is one of the most enjoyable things about being in a band.

Nate: Personally on stage I am just excited to be playing for an audience and I try to engage the audience in whatever way I can.

Joe: I think to try moving as much as possible because if I stand still, somebody is going to see how my legs shake, when I am nervous (hahaha) and to just have fun while playing.

Amrit: I am not sure what goes through my mind, but not a lot. I am usually pretty into the music, I look at the crowd and see if they are diggin' it or not. The majority of the time it is music related. If there is something wrong, that occupies my mind of course.

Conversions is a band that lives life on the edge and is willing to take the next big leap to the top, you might ask yourselves: "How will they get there?" and that is where the fans come in. All you have to do is like their facebook page and then let all your friends know about this amazing band that will make it to the top :)

Interview with Jonathon Dolan (Bass/Vocals) of Handed to the Thousands!!!

Here are the members of the band:

Oliver Torres: Vocals/Lyrics

Nick Kuzevski: Guitar

Ryan Miller: Guitar

Jon Dolan: Bass/Vocals

Nick Galluccio: Drums


Jonathan Dolan is answering the questions for the band:

1. What inspired you to play music?

We have all been inspired by different artists and bands throughout our youth to create music. One of the first concerts that a few of us went to was Taste of Chaos in 2005, when we were about 13 years old. My Chemical Romance, The Used, Saosin, Killswitch Engage, Underoath and many other bands that we loved at the time played and really opened our eyes to what this kind of music was about. Seeing how bands impact peoples lives in such a positive way made us really want to create something that could do the same for others. Music is such a powerful tool!

2. How has music changed your life?

When I was about 15, I decided that I wanted to join the marines and take part in the war after the tragic events on 9/11. I was completely set on devoting my life to that cause, until Nick Kuzevski, a founding member and guitarist told me he was starting a band. They were looking for a bassist. After some thinking, I decided to pick up the bass guitar. After a while of practicing, I attending my first practice with him and a friend, and the rest is history. Music is something that I can not imagine living without. It is everything to me!! Whether I am playing it myself or just listening to it with some friends, it is my greatest passion.

3. What bands do you listen to and how have they shaped your music?

All of us listen to different styles. We love everything from Rap and Indie to Metal. Some of our favorites throughout the years include: August Burns Red, Architects, For Today, As Cities Burn, Oceana, Taking Back Sunday, and Underoath. Obviously, after listening to bands like these you naturally draw influences in what you are writing, but we try to keep everything as original as possible. There are too many bands to list that have inspired us as musicians!

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

Never give up, and DO NOT let hurtful words stop you from growing as a musician. One of the hardest things to do in the music industry, especially in a band, is to find committed members and get things off the ground. Some of us have been playing music together for years and have gone through constant member changes until finally finding a solid lineup that we have today. Don't let small shows with low attendance get you down. Write music for yourself and stick to what you truly love. At the end of the day, you should be doing this for yourself and if you do nothing in the world could possibly make you happier.

5. Where did you get the idea for the name of your band?

Before the disbanding of an older band, our vocalist Oliver Torres came into practice with a few band names. A few that I can recall are 'From This Day Forth' and 'Between the Solace and Astray'.. and a bunch of other corny ones. We ended up picking Handed To The Thousands. I wasn't sure if I liked it at first because I felt it was too long, but it has grown on me. I like to let people try and guess what our name is about, so that they can give it their own definition.

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

We want our fans, present and future, to know that we appreciate every single person who has ever attended a show, listened to our music, bought merch or shared our music with someone! Without fans and the support of friends and strangers alike, we would not be here today. We are a band that loves to interact with our fans both at shows and online. Please come out to a show and hangout with us, we look forward to meeting you! If you have not heard already, you can download our EP "Rest for the Wavering" for FREE Via Facebook.

7. What are you thinking when you are on stage?

- Nick Gallucio: "On stage, I think about how much of a blessing it is that God has given me the opportunity to glorify His name through music."

-Ryan Miller: "HAAAGEN!"

-Jonathan Dolan: "I think about how blessed I am to be able to do what I love and how I wouldn't rather be anywhere, but here playing music. It is a feeling like no other. Shaking me head around like a maniac and singing my heart out is not surprisingly the best thing ever."

- Nick Kuzevski: "When I am on stage all I can think about is how excited I am to be playing our music and hoping that everyone enjoys what our music is all about!"

-Oliver Torres: "How happy I am that I am given the opportunity to play music with my best friends and jump around exerting so much energy! We are so lucky."

Handed to the Thousands is a band that wants to get to know every single one of their fans and so all you have to do is check out their facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/#!/htttmusic?sk=info and listen to their EP, you will truly love it I promise.

Interview with Beyond The Summit!!!

Here are the members of the band:

Tyler Crifasi - Guitars

Cory Magee - Bass/Backing Vox
 

Tom Huckfeldt -- Drums

 

Below are their group responses:

1. What inspired you guys to play music?

 

We all have had something different inspire us. Tom came from a very musically involved house, and decided to start drumming after seeing Terry Bozzio on YouTube. Cory, on the other hand, picked up a guitar at his friend's house and immediately got hooked on it. As for me (Tyler), I have been going to concerts since I was 5. So I always knew at some point I wanted to pursue music; but what really made me want to play guitar was hearing guys like Joe Bonamassa, Randy Rhoads, and Slash.

2. How has music changed your life?

 

Music has changed all of us for the better. It has made us more confident, outgoing, but has always provided something to go to no matter what circumstance. I use music a lot to vent out my feelings by writing lyrics and songs. I just simply listen to music to put me in a better place. I think I can speak for all of us when I say, music plays one of the biggest roles in all of our lives.

3. What bands do you guys listen to and how have they shaped your music?

 

We listen to a ton of bands from all different genres. Some of our favorite bands go from Paramore, All Time Low, and Mayday Parade to Memphis May Fire, The Word Alive and Blessthefall to The Used, Senses Fail and Get Scared. Pretty much everything from, Rock to Pop Punk, Blues, Hardcore and Metal to Alternative. Our iPods all consist of an insane amount of music (haha).

4. What advice do you guys have for people that want to pursue music as their career?

 

In the aspect of playing shows, just have fun and be yourself. Don't pretend to be someone you are not. Also, you need to realize that music is also a business, so don't burn your bridges and make as many friends as possible. Secondly, practice your instrument as much as possible. You can never learn too much! Third, make sure you have fun with it. If you are not doing it because you love it, then why are you?

5. Where did you guys get the idea for the name of your band?

 

It is kind of a funny story on how we got our name. We had a show coming up and they asked us our band name and needed it by that night. So we all got on conference call and started making lists. Before you know it, we matched up beyond and summit (Tom's town) and got Beyond The Summit.

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

 

Well all of us have a bunch of different things we do other than music. Cory is a big hockey fan and plays as much as possible. Tom runs cross country. Tom and Tyler also are running a small home recording studio called T&T Studios in Summit. Tyler just works a lot and loves going to concerts plus the thrill hockey games.

7. What are you guys thinking when you are on stage?

 

Cory- "When I am on stage I am thinking about all the eyes on me and what a rush it is to be up there. It is amazing!"
    

Tom- "When I am on stage, I always just try to remain calm, but feed off the energy of the crowd. If the crowd wants things to be more crazy, you have to raise the bar."

 

Tyler- I think about how I can connect with everyone in the crowd. Your job is to entertain the crowd and so when you get a crowd that is really into your music, you tend to have more fun with it. But, there is always a huge adrenaline rush and nothing else matters than those 45-60 minutes that your on stage. There is nothing like it and that is why I love playing music.

 

 

Beyond The Summit: www.facebook.com/beyondthesummit 

 

Want to feel like you are being heard and cared for? Well Beyond The Summit is a band that hits all of your emotions, while leaving you in a state of content and relaxation. I even gave you the link, so all you have to do is like their page and read the interview because my work as we say is a master piece (haha). 

Interview with Marz Nova (Guitar/Vocals) of The Worshyp!!!

Here are the members of the band:

Marz Nova - Guitars & Vocals

Thor Rune - Guitars

Mig Diablo - Bass Guitar

KK Devina - Drums & Percussion

Below are the responses by Marz Nova:

1. What inspired you to play music?

I grew up with my parents playing in a band. Music has surrounded me my entire life.

2. How has music changed your life?

Well, music is my life. It keeps me alive and keeps me from going insane. Music is also the best vehicle for me to express my creativity.

3. What bands do you listen to and how have they shaped your music?

I grew up listening to Metallica, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Rush, Megadeth and band like these. The list of bands and music genres that I have enjoyed over the course of my life is so vast that it would take me an eternity to list them. I think that we are all nothing more than the sum of all of our experiences. So when I write it is the product of my life experiences both musically, emotionally and even physically.
4. What advice do you have for others that want to pursue in music as their career?

Write what you love the most, not what you think is going to sell the most. If you write what you love, it will be your best product and will be easier and more enjoyable.

5. Where did you get the idea for the name of your band?

The Worshyp is a salute to the loyalty and passion of heavy metal fans over any other music genre. Pop artists are here today and gone tomorrow. They are only as big as their latest hit and then they are forgotten. Heavy Metal fans follow their favorite bands, like a priest follows the church.

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

That I am a bigger fan of them, then they are of The Worshyp. They are the fuel that keeps the band moving. Their support is the most critical element.

7. What are you thinking when you are on stage?

I am always thinking about Nachos & cheese! No, (haha) I am always trying to enjoy myself and that will make for the best possible experience for the audience. I want to give them 120% and make them enjoy every second to the fullest. I am only thinking of the crowd and the song I am playing at that time.

The Worshyp is a metal band that wants to show you how emotions can be evoked in music and expressing it through their music will let your mind run wild :)

Interview with Former Thieves!!!

Here are the members of the band:

 

	Josh Sparks Ben Lynn Josh Parks Matt Schmitz

Below are their group responses to the questions:


1. What inspired you guys to play music?

As a whole it is a mix between seeing bands growing up, that inspired each of us differently and hearing records that really pushed us into diving right in to playing music.

2. How has music changed your life?

Music has completely shaped our lives. Not even the fact that we are on the road most of the year, but even in our personal lives it has shaped our way of living. It is a meager existence, but we can all say that it has saved us from getting stuck in a meaningless rut and shown us how are reality is.


3. What bands do you guys listen to and how have they shaped your music?

This answer could take up pages upon pages. But, I will spare you that drawn out response and give you the simple version. We all listen to so much different stuff and have been heavily impacted by all sorts of different music, like classical, metal, indie, punk, hardcore, what have you.

We have been lucky enough to play with some bands and musicians that we looked up to and idolized as kids, that was a pretty crazy feeling.

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

Prepare for hardship, loss, and little to no direction. But, if you really want to make a life out of music, anyone can do it. You just have to dive right in and stick with it through the horrible parts. Finally realizing that you are doing what you set out to do is one of the sweetest pay offs.

5. Where did you guys get the idea for the name of your band?

It kind of came out of no where. It does not really have much meaning. Band names are silly that way.

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

We currently have 3 mascots in our van. The first is a toy monkey that does backflips and we got it on our first tour. He stopped working last spring, so he sits in a cubby now or as we like to call it "retirement". Since Monkey 1 broke, we got a new one that is better and more agile. We call him Monkey 2.

The third we just were given as a gift from the fine gentlemen in the band Soul Control. It is a dog figurine lying on his back spread eagle, his name is "Dick Dog".

We also always travel with our spiritual guru, life coach, merch slinger, tour manager, and better part Sean. He is the fifth member of this band.

Without these things we are nothing: "Dick Dog", the monkeys, and Sean are to us, as the sun is to Superman.


7. What are you guys thinking when you are on stage?

Matt - "Please don't vomit, please don't vomit".

Ben - "Power stance, keeping time, and what is so and so up to (arbitrary thoughts, haha)

Sean - "Stop that racket"

Josh P - "I hope I look cool"

Josh S - "Some zen like shit, dude".

Don't need to hold your wallets for this band because their edge will drive you up a wall and make you feel like you are on the top of the world. You might be asking yourselfs: "who is this band?', well I proudly announce that they are called, Former Thieves. Check out their facebook amd listen to their music all night long :)

Interview with Aaron Huff (Guitar/Vox) of Truly, Truly!!!

Here are the members of the band:

Matt McClure- Vox Aaron Huff- Guitar/Vox Ben Watts- Drums Cameron Hernandez - Guitar Below are their group responses to the questions: 1. What inspired you to play music? My father always had music playing of all different genres and over time I developed a passion for all types of music. I picked up a guitar at the age of 13 and my current ability is due in large to the encouragement of my father. He never let me slack up because he noticed my natural ability and did not want me to lose that talent. 2. How has music changed your life? MUSIC IS MY LIFE (haha). Music has helped me through some of the darkest times in my life and allowed me to further enjoy some of the better times. 3. What bands do you like and how have they shaped your music? I will give you my top 5: Fear Before, Avett Brothers, Norma Jean, A Plea For Purging, and Damien Jurado. Each has it's own small influence. 4. What advice do you have for others that want to pursue music as their career? I say if you have a passion for anything pursue it as hard as you can and never give up. There is no sense in living a miserable unfulfilled life. 5. Where did you get the idea for the name of your band? Our band name came from scripture. 6. What do you want your fans to know about you that they might not know already? I love all baby Animals. Every single one. :P 7. What do you think about when you are on stage?

What inspired you guys to play music? Well everyone in the band has been playing music since we were little kids. For me personally (Mike Silentts), music has always been a calling of mine and I have been involved in bands; recording and writing music since forever. Playing music is also an amazing way to express your feelings and emotions through a song rather than just through speech, which for me makes it so much more meaningful. 2. How has music changed your life? Music has changed our life to the point that I dont even think we would be living if it was not for music. The world with out music to us would be like a world without water. Everyone would just thirst up and eventually die. Music has helped us make some of the biggest decisions in our life and made us grow into the people we are today. 3. What bands do you guys listen to and how have they shaped your music? The band has a very big variety of music that we all listen to. As for everyone, I think we all have our own inspirations. Some of our most listened to bands include: Asking Alexandria, Get Scared, Falling In Reverse, Escape The Fate and so on. We believe that our music is original and does not sound like just one of those bands, but more a mix of all our inspirations put together. 4. What advice do you guys have for others that want to pursue in music as their career? It is hard, I am not gonna lie. There are hundreds and thousands of other bands out there that are trying to get to the exact same place you are trying to get to. That is what our new single: "From Dreams To Reality" is all about and if you truly believe in yourself, then you will never let yourself down. You will fall and you will make mistakes, it is bound to happen, but if you get up and continue to never let anything keep you down, then your already on the right track to making your dreams a reality. 5. Where did you guys get the idea for the name of your band? The name of the band was actually thought up by Mike's older brother. We were brainstorming all night for a good name to match an emo band and while doing this we were playing Mario Kart 64 which then gave my brother the idea of Chomp, Chomp, Attack! at first we laughed, but wrote it down anyways. Then when it came time to choose a name we decided that even though we did not want a generic emo band name. Not that it has not worked out great for other bands, but we wanted to rather have something fun and catchy because in the end we are just a bunch of happy guys playing music that we love. 6. What do you guys want your fans to know about you that they might not know already? I think it very important for our fans to know and understand that we actually love every single fan that we have. More than the music or anything that come out of being a band. The fans make us the happiest at the end of every single day and we try to give each and everyone as much attention as we possibly can because without them we would not be here or anywhere for that matter. Our fans will always be number one to us. 7. What do you guys think about when you are on stage? The stage to the whole band is our home. It is the one place that we want to be all the time. Before we go on stage were filled with happiness and a feeling that nothing else in the world can give to us. We always remember the reason why were there and walking out to see our fans is like meeting our best friends and family for the first time. It is an amazing feeling. Chomp Chomp Attack carries out their name very well because they want to chomp their way to your hearts and attack you guys with all the love they have for their music <3 They love the fans and to them they see you guys as family. When they walk on the stage they feel like they are home :)
