Interview with American Diary
This interview is a little old. Now the band is simply a trio but nevertheless they're all still amazing musicians and now the trio consists of Mike Clark [guitarist], Brandon Reeder [drummer], and Brandon Ingley [guitarist]. Anyway here's the interview with them back when Ben [ex-guitarist] was still with them after their first Warped show. The have toured with the Hint, opened for YellowCard, played Warped and headlined their own tour last year! They're young, they're determined and their music is insanely catchy!!! SO CHECK THEM OUT ON MYSPACE OR BUY THEIR ALBUM ON ITUNES!!!!! trustt meee you want to do this. If you like All Time Low, Blink 182, Forever the Sickest Kids, Third Eye Blind or other Pop Punk Rock bands you willLOVE themm!!
What genre of music do you consider your work to be and who are your major influences? I'd consider us pop punk / Alternative. Major influences are blink 182, 3rd eye blind, brand new How long have you all known each other? How did you meet? we've all known each other for years, reeder mikey and I met in High school and we met Brandon because he was in another band that we were friends with at the time.
When did you form your band? What inspired you to make music together? the band started in spring of 2004 and we were inspired by the thought of four best friends playing music that we love and having a great time!
Where have you performed? What are your favorite and least favorite venues? We've performed all across the country, our favorite place is probably Rams Head Live back home in Baltimore :]
What are your all time favorite songs? Who are your favorite artists? Favorite artist for me is proabably 3rd eye blind and my favorite song would have to be motor cycle drive What is your favorite of all your songs? heart attack pact and the new ones soon to come :]
What inspires your lyrics? every day life? haha
Could you briefly describe the process of making and promoting an album? first we write the songs in about a month, then we go in and record them. After that we'll go out on tour to promote the new release and then keep touring when it comes out! What has been your biggest challenge as a band? Have you been able to overcome that challenge? our biggest challenge has been to break through a mold and set ourselves apart. I think the next record will really shine through with that quality.
What is the ultimate goal/ direction for your band? to be able to support ourselves doing something we love and hopefully share same great music with people everywhere. What advice do you have for people who want to form their own bands? just keep it fun and hold that dream in your heart, eventually you'll get there.
What's the most bizarre thing to happen while you were onstage? mikey getting naked haha What’s your favorite and least favorite part about touring? favorite part is being free and meeting new people everyday, least favorite is not having a bed to sleep in every night.
Does touring and the other aspects of your professional life affect your private life? Are you able to keep up with school work? none of us go to school or work so I guess it does lol
If you had two words to say to the readers right now what would they be? stay gnarly :]
So I know this is old but I'm gunna try to get Reeder, Brandon or Mikey to give me another interview so this would be an interview with the newly formed trio.
