This band is one which could be very laborious to pinpoint. With members from throughout central PA, you may’t even decide one dwelling for the band. Their sound is someplace between industrial, goth and different rock, with a darkish vein operating via all of it. The band lists their influences from 9 Inch Nails to early 80’s new wave and nonetheless to Seattle grunge.
We lately caught up with the band on the Sterling Lodge in Allentown, one among their favourite locations to play, and I can see why. As a part of an all industrial line-up, Allentown crowds know the best way to respect good industrial rock. The band showcased just a few songs from their EP, “The Telegraph,” in addition to some new songs, with a decidedly completely different sound. Singer Jeff explains, “The brand new songs can be found via myspace and likewise their web site. Our sound is altering, I believe. Getting just a little extra aggressive than The Telegraph. If you happen to take Telegraph as a ‘goth, alt’ document, then the songs we’re engaged on at the moment are extra on the commercial aspect. We’re additionally at the moment engaged on, not a lot a gaggle of songs with an idea, however extra so themed. The Telegraph was extra of a glance right into a diary , and the newer songs are being written with a special theme, or objective in thoughts 재회.”
Being a goth band in central Pennsylvania would not precisely sound straightforward. “We’re positively a minority,” the band explains, which explains why the band performs with such ardour and dedication. With all-industrial exhibits like these hosted by The Sterling Lodge, although, goth bands are discovering an increasing number of fans within the space lately. The fellows in FTA usually must journey out of their rapid space for goth/industrial exhibits, however they inform us they’re hoping to deliver extra goth bands to the native scene. “We’re hoping to determine extra with music fans regionally to usher in some goth bands and do some extra goth exhibits right here.”
There was one query we simply needed to ask, after listening to a sure rumor: We have heard that you have been labeled as a violent band. What are your ideas on that? The reply: Actually that surprises us to listen to. If individuals say our exhibits or band is violent or excessive than that is what they get out of our efficiency and music and I am positively OK with that. We attempt to convey actual feeling and actual emotion via our exhibits and in our music. So I am positively OK with no matter individuals get out of what we’re doing. Whether or not its violent, darkish, emotional, heavy no matter; If one individual can take one thing away from us and preserve it with them, if just for a second, then we’re positively attaining what we are attempting to do.
