Introduce yourselves (& your part in the band) & tell us a little bit about your band.
I'm shawn, I do vocals for the band Survive This!
How has Warped Tour 2014 treated your band?
It's been an absolute blast. We never know what to expect on a day to day basis. We're told we've been really fortunate on the weather aspect this year. So were very thankful for that. The kids have been very supportive. We're lucky enough to be hitting a lot of new markets allowing us to play in front of new viewers. But also being able to play for the great fans we've have been making as well.
We recently had the opportunity to see you live for the 3rd time, & each time we have seen you guys you were more energetic then the last time & you guys kill it. What’s it like to see the crowd grow every day & see the crowd going crazier & crazier as they get to know your music?
It's honestly a dream come true. When you get to hear and see fans singing out load engaged to every word. Lot can give you chills or leave you speechless. It allows you to reach another level of energy that you didn't know you had inside you.
When you played “The Seed”, The crowd went absolutely insane, throwing their middle fingers up & singing along. How does it feel to see that so many people have been impacted by your music & that they know every lyric to your songs?
It's a blessing. I'm just glad that our songs can reach out to people and help them along with their day. We're just fortunate enough to write a song that people relate to. I'm glad we can share these moments together.
