Why the name SPREADING THE DISEASE ?
I am a fan of Queensryche. I formed the band with the idea of a young generation of children rebelling against the adults and all that we have destroyed or ruined, got rid of them al land started over .al lthe album artwork follows that line pretty much.
What are your personal musical tastes and your influences ?
I personally am into Black Sabbath, Metallica, RATM, Rammstein, Slipknot, Five finger death punch, Rob Zombie, Manson, Stone Sour, Machinehard. However our band members tastes vary from hip hop with our drummer Jack Apella to Foo fighters with Martin Osbourne ourt guitarist and bands like While She Sleeps and thou art is murder from our singer AConnor Snyder
What's your best live memory ? And why ?
Touring with the band, weve been on the road for near on 2 years non stop and its been hilarious, fun, interesting and a journey of bonding and becoming a strong unit. We have played some great shows from the 02 in Birmingham early on to Facebarmageddon reently in Reading and many more.
In studio, what was the ambiance for the album INSURRECTION ?...etc.…
We are ultimately an angry band pissed at the mal doings of the World and injustices, war etc..so I guess that drives us, getting our message out but we don’t preach. We had a great producer Mr Charlie Creese working with us from Magpie studios in Kent UK and made a great team having worked with him twice now.We wanted to write an album that does not have every song sounded the same, giving the listener new surprises with each song, taken them on a journey. Our music is not one you can pigeon hole it has all sorts of influences
How does it work for the design of the CD ?
Our guitarists girlfriend is our photographer and artist, Shes done a wonderful job with the albums artwork, unique, original and striking. She has great talent.
What do you expect from the future ?
The idea was to create a buzz for the band these past 2 years, playing everywhere, and promoting the band and albums as much as possible. The press and radios have been marvelous with us, we have had much support and it is much appreciated. You guys are the backbone of the industry and your support has helped us no end. Now..we have Management in the USA a Mr James Shaffer and we have things in the pipeline. We are hoping to take the band abroad next year. We are also already working on our 2nd full length album.
What would you like to say to the readers ?
I would like to say, we do hope you like what we do, we than keach and ever person that likes what we do and enjoy our album.Please keep supporting the radios and press and the music scene. See you out there soon. Cheers. Your very welcome, thank you for interviewing us. Website
