Interviews: IN THE CARDS

In this new occassion we have had the opportunity to interview the Alternative Rock band In The Cards from UK. Check out the interview and this band on their FACEBOOK PAGE.

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

Our name was the result of us searching through an urban dictionary for words/phrases related to 'future'. To us it seemed appropriate for our name to relate directly to what music is to us and where it may take us in life.

2.Why did you want to play this genre? 

There was never a conscious decision to aim to write for a specific genre of music. When we first began to write songs we simply wrote music that we thought sounded good. As most of our influences as a collective are from the alternative rock genre, that is the style of sound that we just organically produced.

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

Yes, we were all friends in high school.

4. Each band member favourite band? 

Amy - Mallory Knox

Dan - Mcfly 

Nath - Paramore

Conor - Pink Floyd

5. Who or what inspires you to write songs? 

We can take inspiration from many aspects of life. Songs can be born from personal experiences, emotions, observations etc. 

6. Where was your last gig? 

Headling Your City Festival at The Rigger!

7. Where would you like to act? 

There are some very iconic venues here in the UK and elsewhere in the world, it would be impossible to name just one! 

8. Whom would you like to feature with? 

Again it is hard to name just one band who we would like to share the stage with...30 Seconds to Mars, Tonight Alive, Lower Than Atlantis and Don Broco to name just a few, the list is much longer in reality.

9. Whom not? 

As long as our music isn't ridiculously contrasting we are open to play with just about anyone.

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

From Amy - I always get nervous before any gig wether it's in front of 1 person or 100 people but as soon as I sing the first line of the first song, the nerves turn into adrenaline and I have the best time on stage. Nerves are good, it's all about channeling them into positive energy for the gig.

11. What bands have inspired you the most? 

Collectively as a band we have been inspired by many artists over our years together such as Paramore, 30 Seconds to Mars, Tonight Alive, Mallory Knox etc. 

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

As of yet it's hard to recall any particularly out of the ordinary requests...

13. What do you think of your fans? 

We only have gratitude and appreciation for anyone who has listened to our music, came to our shows, interacts with our content online and to anyone who has been able to take something positive away for themselves from what we are doing.

14. What do you think of our site?

The international coverage and being able to see content from bands in multiple countries is great, something you don't come across often!

15. Something to add?

New single 'The Only Thing' streaming now...music video and single release coming very soon...'Eyes Beyond Reflection' EP out June 22nd!
