We recently watched your set at Skate & Surf Festival, your set is a VERY high energy set & gets the fans going crazy. How does it feel to know that you have all those fans supporting you in the crowd?
Skate & Surf was an amazing experience for us. We truly did not know what to expect. No one is guaranteed a crowd, but thankfully we had an amazing crowd for our set who sang along with us, and expressed themselves with passion. We put 100% into every show we play, no matter how many people are there, and when a crowd returns that energy to us, there is no feeling greater than that.
What genre would you consider Sirens & Sailors & why did you choose to create music within this genre?
We typically try not to categorize ourselves or any of the bands that we listen to. Most people will refer to us as a metal, or metal-core band, and that is fine. To each his own. We play the music that best expresses us, nothing is off limits. Playing music of this genre is what feels right to us.
Who has been the most influential person for you during your musical career this far?
I will answer this question personally, because I most definitely can't answer for everyone else. I am influenced by so many things. Life in general is just a huge influence to me. I grew up with music always being around me. Whether I was sitting in my parents cars listening to their favorite bands, going to my Uncle's drum corp shows, or discovering the bands I enjoyed most on my own, music has always been there.
HOPE has a VERY big message within the Music community today, What does HOPE mean to you & how do you help promote it?
The only person that determines your future is yourself. We have been reaching towards our goals for years, and accomplishing them one by one. If our band promotes hope in any way, it would be through our persistence and determination to keep moving forward. Never give up on your dreams, they are what will make you feel most whole.
