Interviews: Thanks To Losers
In this new occasion we have the pleasure to interview the Melodic Hardcore band Thanks To Losers from Spain. We have nothing more to say, so enjoy this interview and also like their FACEBOOK PAGE cause these band is epic.
1. Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or came out just like that?
The truth is that our name didn’t come in any transcendental way. The idea came from a common friend of the members of the band, we always said that we were gonna call the band “Thanks to EB” cause EB are his initials. After being threatened of death by this guy for choosing that name we decided to change the end of the name by something with a little bit more sense, and here we are Thanks to Losers. But now we are gonna be the winners!
2. Why did you want to play this genre?
The band was formed by Iban (drums) and Ike Mustard, who has been the singer of the band along three years. Both were crazy about creating a melodic hardcore band, they wanted to play fast. After all, this music has accompanied us on our Walkman’s and Discman’s along our teenage. 3. Did you know each other before the band was formed? When THANKS TO LOSERS entered game all the members of the band had already a matrix band. This band started as a parallel project. Josu and Iban where together at BISAI, but now Josu is the bass player of ADRENALIZED, who are our brothers and our reference, and Iban plays the drums in the legendary 80’s punk band VOMITO. Sainz comes from playing the guitar in the already death band KRILIN and now he also plays at HYEDRA. Gari also used to play the guitar in a band called DREZA, and Itu sings and plays the guitar in the powerful band THE ANIMAL WITHIN. And as we live in a small city where the people from the hardcore scene know each other, so we could say that yes, we already knew each other from long time ago.
4. Each band member favorite band?
This may be confusing or maybe it will let you understand better who we are, here it goes!
JOSU: PROTEST THE HERO
SAINZ: THRICE IBAN: PENNYWISE
ITU: FOUR YEAR STRONG
GARI: THE GASLIGHT ANTHEM
5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?
Of course there are some indispensable bands in our minds when we create music. The influences are important, but we will never change the way that our music sounds for being rare or different. If we like it we don’t care about having a direct influence.
6. Where was your last gig?
It was at Mogambo (San Sebastian) with our friends Adrenalized who were introducing their new album.
7. Where would you like to act?
At present time, according to the launch of our new album we are open to play at all the places we can. We would like to cross the borders of our country and introduce our band in other countries.
8. Whom would you like to feature with?
NOFX. Fat mike is a Punk Rock superhero.
9. Whom not?
Any catholic band. Not really, but if we play together no praying.
10. Any of you has ever suffered from stage fright? Any tip for beginners on how to beat that?
We never had that problem, but if it is your case our recommendation is… Biissquitsss and Beeeeerrrssss madafakers!
11. What bands have inspired you the most?
Bands like MUTE, THIS IS A STANDOFF, MUCH THE SAME, A WILHELM SCREAM… but the band that most inspired is ADRENALIZED, we are friends, we share rehearsal place and we have followed them since their beginning.
12. What's the weirdest thing a fan has ever asked you for?
2 days after releasing our new album a guy from Japan ask us to send him a copy. And other guy once cried when we were playing “Above me” (RUFIO). Maybe he was drunk and sensible.
13. What do you think of your fans?
They like it fast and that’s what we give them. We always feel their support and that’s wonderful.
14. What do you think of our site?
Thanks for supporting the scene, really.
15. Something to add?
Hello world, we are just a bunch of 5 crazy stupid guys trying to play melodic hardcore really fast and technical, do you like it? Listen to Thanks To Losers! Don’t like it? Go to hell.
