Inferno had the opportunity to sit down with the band before their performance. We got to speak to them about their beginning as a band, their new music video, and about life on the road.
Inferno: How'd you guys get your start as a band? ?
Jason: Me and Michael met in high school, in art class, actually. We started playing music, having bands through high school and college. We met Andy and Alex through friends of friends, and started the band. It's been a little over two years.
Inferno: Describe your sound to someone who's never heard of you before. ?
Michael: The sound is definitely like upbeat, funky rock music. Falling somewhere stylistically between Maroon 5 and Justin Timberlake.
Inferno: What would you tell a college student to get them to listen to your music?
Michael: It's the party CD to have. It's just funky, like I said before. You can put it on and you don't have to skip a song. You can rock out, you can dance, you can slow dance. It's got a full range of emotions. So for a college student, it's one of those CDs you can just pop it in and do your thing.
Inferno: Has living in New York influenced your music? ?
Alexander: I think it's just life in general. At different points in your life, you're going through different things, dealing with different emotions. Whether it's living in different places, we've had the opportunity to live in New York and L.A., and we've been on tour for the last five months. As just an artist in general, you have so much to draw upon. You have a well of things you've gone through, to draw upon.
Inferno: What's it like being on tour? ?
Alexander: Incredible. ?
Andrew: It's really quite fun. ?
Michael: It's like having the best day over and over and over again. You know, we love to play music. So getting to play concerts every night is completely a dream come true.
Inferno: So what's your favorite place to play, other than New York or L.A., since you lived there? ?
