like the bands that are playing. As a band all you can
do is try to write good songs, and play as often as possible and try to pull the people out of their homes to come
see you play live.
Where do you see this band in a year or two? Do
you as a band have goals?
Pete: Every band should have goals. Ours is to do
touring for Incognito as much as possible. After that,
start working on a new record, then repeat the process.
Write, record, tour,....write, record, tour. Yeah I know,
cliché. LOL
If you were asked to describe your band’s sound or
who you sound like, what would you say?
Pete: We’ve had a lot of people say they can’t put
their finger on our sound. I don’t know, I would probably say straight balls to wall rock and roll.....energetic.
Tell us about your next shows and why we should
be there.
Pete: At this very moment we don’t have anything
scheduled, but our management is working on a tour.
We don’t really do anything flashy, we just play from
the heart because we love to play and love the songs we
wrote. If you come to a show you will feel the energy.
You will have a good time!
As a band, how often and for how long do you
practice?
Pete: We generally rehearse twice a week and maybe for about 4 hours. We work on our set/show. When
we start writing though, this will be changed to 6-8
hour sessions.
Anything you would like to share, from new merch
to upcoming shows? Any last words?
Pete: We do have tshirts in, along with girls V-neck
shirts and spaghetti strap shirts, stickers and of course
the cd Incognito. Please check us out on facebook, twitter, and youtube. We should have our website up and
running soon. www.psychospoon.com. Thank you for
the interview and hope to see you on the road!!!

particularly women. It’s the only song that features the
screaming backup vocals. This one song has been stuck
in my head for the past several days. It’s a catchy song.
No wonder it’s available on Amazon an iTunes!

Do you have “day jobs” or are you “all in”?
We all work and go to school currently. Somehow
we’re still able to make time for the band. It just means
we have to get a lot done over the summer and winter
breaks to keep the band going. Hopefully once we’re
done with school we’ll be able to hit the road.
How important is Social Media to development of
your fan base? How do you market yourselves?
Social media is extremely important. It is our primary way of keeping in touch with our fans and allows
our fans to interact with us. We try to post fun behind
the scenes pictures and videos during our downtimes to
remind everyone we’re still here.
Where do you see yourselves in five years? Immediate future plans? Are you looking to be signed by a
major label or remain independent? Any plans to tour?
In five years I sure hope we’re still together. There’s
something unique about the way we work as a band that
if anyone left it would be very difficult to keep going.
For the immediate future, we’re going to keep writing
and trying to play in new parts of New Jersey and maybe New York or Philadelphia. It would be great to get
signed and be able to play more and record more music.
Who would you like to thank for your success thus
far?
I would like to thank all of our friends, family, and
fans that have supported us over the past few years. I
also must give a big shout out to my dad for putting up
with us practicing at my house as well as Felix’s dad for
driving everyone to my place before we got our licenses.
Also a shout out to all our friend bands such as Generation Nowhere, Stitches, Horseman 5, and many more.

What do you consider to be either your greatest
accomplishment or life changing moment?
When I was with Into Eternity, I got to tour with
Dream Theater, and twice we toured Japan. Pretty hard
to top that – but I feel like more amazing stuff is yet to
come!
If you could hold on to just one memory from your
life forever, what would that be?
I had this perfect little pet dog, she was the world
to me. A memory of a perfect day hanging out with her
would likely be all I would need.
Do you have any regrets?
Luckily, no. I can safely say that even things that
haven’t worked out, like my failed marriage, were all life
lessons that I would never change. They make me who I
am today, and I am comfortable with that. I can think of
ten good things that have come as a result of anything
bad that’s happe
