Chad: The Bled, Thursday, Senses Fail, Avenged Seven Fold and The Cure

Eric: good choices
Eric: I enjoy all of those bands

Alex: those are great bands

Eric: would you say that by them influencing you guys, it ends up in your own music

Jon: kind of
Justin: not at all
Chad: some stuff I guess, we kind of have our own sound though, at least I think so

Eric: awesome

Jon: we don’t really write songs and try to sound like them it just seems to end up that way
Chad: yea
Alex: We don’t try to sound like anyone, we just write what we like and feel, and this is how it comes out

Eric: how do you go about writing new songs?

Chad: someone starts with a riff and we just start writing to it, and adding onto it
Jon: well if someone has something we will write to it
Alex: we usually start with a guitar riff and it just builds
Jon: then Alex write the singing then Chad writes the screaming

Eric: and were do the lyrics come in

Chad: we write the lyrics last

Eric: neeto

Justin: our music is more of a calough and array of all musical ideas pored into something we call music
Alex: Me and Chad just write what we feel, a lot of them people probably think are fucked up
Chad: yea, Jon called us killers for the last set of lyrics we wrote lol
Jon: lol yeah asses

Eric: so Alex, were do lyrics like “jealousy was the murder weapon” come from, what influences you to write lyrics

Alex: umm, its about a chick liking some other guy and her boyfriend knows it and gets really Jealous about it and kills the guy

Eric: sounds interesting, so would you say most of your lyrics come from things happening in your life

Alex: kind of, I think a lot of it is just me venting all my emotions through my lyrics, a lot of them are about death, lol, I don’t know why
Alex: it’s just what comes out

Eric: killer*
Eric: hehe

Jon: yeah
Alex: I don’t think of a topic for the song I just start writing
Alex: and then decide what it all means at the end
Justin: it also goes with the musical tone or feeling
Jon: that’s where the song name comes in

Eric: well I know you guys have a few demo songs out, but do you plan to go in and record a EP or a full length anytime soon?
