Q & A
As a child growing up, music surrounds us. What type of music did you hear the most back then?
02.27.20
Tom: When I was a kid, I used to mainly listen to pop-punk like blink-182 and it gradually grew into a heavier taste!
Brady: I don’t really listen to music.
Deven: I used to be really into EDM and wanted to be a DJ like most middle schoolers, but then Pandora Music introduced me to really bad metalcore like I See Stars and now we’re here.
Can you describe a moment in your career, where you felt like you truly reached somebody or made a difference?
02.27.20
Deven: Every so often I put on a benefit show called “Emo’s Against…” where a bunch of local bands cover a popular “emo” band. So far we’ve done Emo’s against ICE and Emo’s against homelessness and each experience has been some of the most rewarding days of my life.
