INTERVIEW WITH JUSTIN OF NEVADA ROSE

What was the production & recording process like when creating this album?

The writing/production process was a bit challenging but fun. Blending the EDM elements with the hardcore/pop sound took thought and a lot of experimentation but once we got in the groove of writing a song it became more of a vibe and flow type thing that drove the music. There were times when we'd listen to artists like Skrillex, Zomboy, or Krewella and be like "Ok, hear how they do that here? Let's try and sound like a band and do something similar."

When writing music for this album, What inspired the lyrics?

I think lyrically Nicki wrote a lot about what we were going through at the time. We worked our asses off with the album and put our hearts, minds, and souls into making this what it needs to be. With that comes a lot of sacrifice and I think his lyrics touch upon that often.

If you had to choose 5 words to describe your band, What would they be & why?

Party, Dance, Dubstep, Breakdowns, Lights. That's the vibe we give off at our live show. We have fun always and we want people to do the same.

What in store for the future of Nevada Rose? Any tours soon to be announced? Music Videos?

We plan to tour to promote "Paint Me In Light" all summer and into the Fall. There are some pretty big names being mentioned that we are excited about in a few months who we may hit the road with but everyone will know eventually. We would love to shoot a music video!

Why should everyone go check out Nevada Rose?

If you love Dance Beats, Dubstep, Hardstyle, Breakdowns, Riffs, and Choruses check us out. We like to keep the listener guessing with each track so you'll never be bored!

*Anything you want to say to your current or future fans?*

"Paint Me In Light" is available June 17th and we can't wait to meet everyone on the road! Thanks for having us!
