Alright, alright, Girls… Stop
screaming please! Some guys
might be feeling annoyed right
now. Oops!
All thanks to Sony Music
Singapore for having the boys
come all the way from Orlando,
Florida, The Zine managed to
catch up with them in W Hotel
Sentosa Cove; it was a great
experience chatting with them,
together with other few local
media.
It was a packed scheduled day
for Before You Exit, looks like
they were still suffering from
jet lag, spotted them yawning
during intervals. However their
caring Mommy, who was at
the side accompanying them
throughout, looked energetic
and was chatting away while the
boys were in interview session.
We knew they’re exhausted,
trying to make the session
shorter so they could catch
some winks before they head
down to an All Access Party
at Play House afterwards.
Before we wanted to ask some
other questions to satisfy our
readers’ curiosity, of course we
had to start the ball rolling with
some decent questions related
to their music. Rule of thumb,
yeah. *wink*
Q: What’s the inspiration behind
“I Like That” EP?
A: “Obviously we’re teenage
guys, and we’re gonna write
about teenage girls… (Giggling
away)
We always have different song, different concept, a lot of
times it will just be
like something we
wanna write about
, sometimes we will
write about what we
go through, what our
friends go through.
What you heard is
only that six songs, we
had 20 to 30 songs to
choose from; which
ones are the best ones, this
one has a deeper meaning, the
process of deciding which to
eliminate, like a dating show…”
Just like normal teens, getting
opinions from family and friends
is part of their decision making
process.
Q: Who are your major influence(s)?
A: “This question is such tricky
one, we always answer the same
people, but there’re so many
good artists around. We always
like the same music. It ranges
from classic rock to hip hop,
to pop, to rock, everything. “
Q: The Beatles or The
Rolling Stones, which
side you’re on?
A: I don’t wanna take a
side. I’m on both side!
Rolling Stones are more
rock, Beatles are more
classic.
Q: What is the thing you
like most and dislike
most about touring, being a
touring band
as teenagers?
A: Most would be getting to
see the world, going to different
country and see that we’ve such
a great fan base, meeting our
fans who got to know us from
YouTube, get to experience
what a lot people don’t.
Travelling around is not what
you get in any other job.
A: Definitely it gets stressful
sometimes when things don’t
get organized. We are lucky we
get a lot of help from our management and staff, we also like
to do things ourselves.
The Zine later caught up with
Before You Exit again at their
Color Run gig. Unfortunately the
performance was scheduled too
late after the marathon, many
participants had cleared the
venue. But we still have a good
crowd of roaring fans waiting
eagerly.
