Eric: How has the
overall
experience
been, doing shows for
the troops?
Ethan Isaac: Playing
for the service men
and woman is unique
in the fact that you’re
living in their world,
day in and day out,
bringing them a little
something from home
or the states. And it’s
really a rewarding
and
an
amazing
experience.
Eric: I know you've
been
asked
this
before, but how did
the birth of Edisun
come about?
Ethan Isaac: Started in 2005. First 5 yrs was mostly overseas spending a lot of time
in Germany. We had a place that we stayed and lived at in Germany and an amazing
little label over there that pushed us and supported us through those first 5 or so
years.
Joel Kelly: It was like our second home. We knew where to go around when we had
a day off, and we had our own little local hang out
Eric: In a world and industry that on some level is built on angst, how and where
do you find inspiration to feed the music you create?
Ethan Isaac: For me as a lyric writer, I pull from life experiences, but the most
successful pieces we've written are the ones with the more positive message--like
"Ready To Believe" has been a great anthemic song for us. But we write songs
about everything-- songs about the world and message-driven songs--to just
everyday life.
