Sentiments - Interview

Hey, Breathing The Core fans, here we bring you another interview of the Experimental Metal/Progressive Metal/Metalcore band Sentiments  from USA, so here you can see and give a like to his FACEBOOK PAGE. We have nothing more to say, so enjoy this interview!

1.Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or came out just like that? 

Cody: Well for your first question, I kinda came after the original incarnation. I'm basically the "new guy" in the band, but I can tell you from what I get, it's about celebrating life and all it has to offer. It's 30% what happens, 70% what you make of it, so why not make your experience here something to remember?

2.Why did you want to play this genre?

Bobby: The genre itself just grew on to us as we started to experiment with new types of sounds and started to get serious about writing music that would stand be inspiring.

3.Did you know each other before the band was formed?

Eric: It originally started with Kyle and I and we both knew each other. From there we picked up Samer and since then we've gone through a couple years of lineup changes until we got to where we are now.

Bobby: I actually joined the band in the summer of 2011 when the band consisted of Samer our drummer, our guitarists Jorge and Kyle along with Eric our bassist.

4.Each band member favourite band?  

Kyle: Northlane and A Lot Like Birds.

Cody: I would have to say NWA, despite them not being a "band" lol for just metal or hardcore, Whitechapel all the way.

Jorge: chunk no captain chunk and Northlane.

Bobby: My favorite band personally is Nirvana honestly even if its out of our range of genre haha.

5.Who or what inspires you to write songs? 

Jorge: Personally, when I write, I think to myself "how can I connect with people with the instrumentation?" immediately i'm inspired to innovate and not stick to a particular genre. Also, a good cup of coffee enhances my creativity.

Bobby: The way the songs are produced is a matter of how at the time we felt about music.I think we can all say we are inspired by just being alive and being able to play what we feel on our instruments.

6.Where was your last gig? 

Bobby: I believe our last show was at the White Rabbit which has closed down unfortunately, but that show was fun,we actually got a chance to play most of the songs from the new EP Infinity.

7.Where would you like to act? 

Jorge:  Austin, Tx.

Cody:  If we can make it overseas on one of their big festivals like download or wacken that would be a dream come true.

Bobby: Any where put of state honestly ,I personally dont care where we play, but Backstage live here in San Antonio would be a really neat venue to play, the stage is pretty nice.

8.Whom would you like to feature with?  

Kyle: I have to say The Dali Thundering Concept would be my number one band I'd like to play with.

Eric: I'd say Northlane, I think it'd be awesome to play on a show with them.

Jorge: My dream tour would be with Tesseract, Northlane, Stories, and Prepaired For A Bride.

Bobby: It would be pretty awesome to feature with the band Erra.

9.Whom not?

Eric: Miss May I.

Jorge: N/A.

Cody:  I don't think there's anyone we wouldn't like to feature with. Like if ASAP Mob or Paul McCartney wants to do a show I'm down haha.

Bobby: No not really.

10.Any of you has ever suffered from stage fright? Any tip for beginners on how to beat that?

Jorge: It might be different for some people, but I have always looked forward to playing shows and its an exciting feeling when your'e about to get on stage an perform your music in front of strangers.

Eric: Yeah after you get used to playing it becomes this sort of release. You get this kinda adrenaline rush and its pretty cool knowing that people out there are there to see you.

Kyle: For the most part after your first couple of shows, you start to look forward to being able to let it all out.

Bobby: I mean when we first started playing i use to be kind of nervous being the the band and I are the center of attention but eventually I got over it from just gaining more experience, i just try and let go of the thought that i look "dumb" and just go all out. A good tip would be to just play and interact with your music ,be what your instrument is playing in other words.

Cody: Yeah bobby's right, you just gotta get up there and do it, no time to be scared.

11.What bands have inspired you the most? 

Jorge:  listening to and playing jazz music, tesseract, northlane, and HRVRD have inspired my personal style of writing.

Bobby:  I think for the most part my inspiration was Born of osiris and Make them suffer.

Kyle: For rhe heavier stuff I've got to say Erra is my favorite. Other than that Tides of Man is definitely my top.

Cody: First it was Bring Me the Horizon, then I got into heavier stuff like Whitechapel and Suicide Silence, then came the more hardcore stuff, really I can find inspiration in any genre if the vocals are good.

12.What's the weirdest thing a fan has ever asked you for? 

Bobby: Lol when we first came back a girl actually told me shell give me a blowjob in exchange for one of our albums because she didnt have cash, smh.

13.What do you think of your fans? 

Cody:  I think the fans are a key part of what we do and I'm thankful for each and every person that takes the time to listen to what we have to say.

Bobby: I really love the fans ,they kind of inspire us to try and take things to the next level with music,

14.What do you think of our site?

Cody: Yeah same here, y'all do good work helping the little people get their names out.

Bobby: Seems interesting ,im very gratefull we could do this interview.

15.Something to add?

Bobby: If you really want to play music than do it ,music is more important than what people try to define it as , its almost like a force or entity itself.

Cody: Be open to anything for inspiration and always look for the good in things.

Eric: Follow your heart.

Jorge:  Stay in school.
