Watchtowers - Interview

Hey, Breathing The Core fans, here we bring you another interview of the Melodic Hardcore band Watchtowers from Australia, 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?

We were just throwing some ideas around and I think it was our manager, Spencer, who suggested it. It stood out to us, it seemed really strong and memorable.

2.Why did you want to play this genre?  

We all have a really strong back ground in heavier music, so it was always going to be a heavy band. Before Watchtowers, none of us had even played more melodic styles, we were listening to bands like Winterfold, Counterparts and Heart in Hand, but we had no idea how to create those sounds. It was fresh, it was something we hadn't done before, and we simply loved the style, so we gave it a go.

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

Most of the boys had connections somewhere along the line. A few knew each other through school, a couple through mutual friends, a few of us had even been in bands together previously. It was Spencer who strung us all together though.

4. Each band member favourite band?  

Aiden - Dance Gavin Dance

Lachlan – Miss May I

Alex – My Chemical Romance

Josh – Blink-182

Mat - Stepson.

5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?  

We all inspire each other, we are always trying to push the limits, and in turn getting all of us outside our comfort zone and allowing us to create things that we'd never considered before.

6. Where was your last gig?  

We haven't played live yet.

7. Where would you like to act?  

We would love the opportunity to be able to play at places like Hot Damn, Hombre Records, Studio 6, Bang, the list goes on. Whoever is happy to have us play, we are happy to play for.

8. Whom would you like to feature with?  

Bands like Stepson or Winterfold, Australian bands are killing it at the moment and these boys seems to be pushing the boundaries, doing things we haven't heard before.

9. Whom not?  

Let's not step on any toes this early on haha.

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

Yeah, a beer pre-show tends to calm the nerves, just get our there & do it.

11. What bands have inspired you the most?  

Again, Australian bands that are pushing the limits. Stepson, Winterfold, Ocean Grove, all doing amazing things.

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

Nothing as of yet, but we encourage the strange. The weirder the better!   

13. What do you think of your fans?  

Having people care about what we are doing is a really cool experience, we are in this band write and play the music we love. For people to listen to what we make & enjoy it is surreal. You’re all awesome.

14. What do you think of our site?

It's so cool to have pages like yours promoting. Without you guys, bands like us would have a fraction of the exposure, pages like yours make things possible.

15. Something to add?

Thanks a lot for this opportunity, we really appreciate the chance to do this interview with you guys. Can't wait to share some more music with you all.
