Tear in the Radio #2 - The Stolen Volume 2 | Page 43
TYLER: Yes, definitely! Especially because the people we tour with have
different backgrounds and we tend to play with mixed audiences. We played
with The Spilled Canvas, months before that was Jumpsuit Apparatus, and
months before that was Aaron Carter and Hollywood Ending. So, there’s
definitely a huge range and that definitely calls for a different approach for
the covers that we choose and the originals that we pick to play that night.
There’s a ton of observations on the ages and demographics, the cities as
well.
Q. Any advice for any musician trying to get started with their music?
JESSE: For sure, the best thing you can do honestly is to simply get out there
and play. Every time that you’re gonna get out there and play venues, you’re
gonna feel so much rewarded and you’re gonna be influenced, and you’re
gonna meet all these incredible artists on the way. Incredible friends on the
way, and it’s gonna continue to inspire you to grow and do what you love, so I
would say really just get out there and play coffeehouses, venues, do what
you can, every time you play, you’ll be rewarded by it.
Q. RANDOM QUESTION, BUT WE GOTTA KNOW: ARE MUSIC VIDEOS STILL
IMPORTANT?
JOANNA: Hell yes they are! Videos help portray the idea the band originally
had for the song because music can be taken in so many ways and people
interpret lyrics in their own way. It’s really the only way to put out what you’re
feeling as band and what you meant the song to be, the video backs it up.
TYLER: It feels like your other senses too. If you’re at a show, and you’re just
listening to the music, you’re not really getting the experience of the show.
There’s something you want to see. You want to see lights, you want to see a
stage, you want all that action so it’s like getting the visual effect of the music
at home without having to go to a show. But you should go to a show!
JOANNA: Plus, Adam is really pretty so any chance to get him on camera, we
should take.
ADAM: *no comment*
