Interviews: Living Target

This is a new interview with the Metal/Punk band Living Target from the USA/Germany/Italy. Check out the interview and follow the band on their FACEBOOK PAGE.

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

Norman: There is a great album called „Living Targets“ by the Beatsteaks. I always thought that would also make a great band name, so we dropped the „s“ and went for the singular and there you go.

2. Why did you want to play this genre? 

Well, we are all drawn to heavy, fast guitar-oriented music, so it’s more like we need to rock… there simply is no other way.

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

No, actually we still don’t really know each other. We collaborate on the songs remotely and are spread over Germany, Italy and the US. We met using musicians’ groups on Facebook, we only text, we have until now never even spoken to one another.

4. Each band member favourite band? 

Mickey: Andy Gillion

Marco: Metallica

Norman: Strung Out, Face to Face, Descendents, Pennywise, too many to name actually.

5. Who or what inspires you to write songs? 

It just happens… pick up a guitar, play some random stuff and all of a sudden you have a riff that you can’t get out of your head anymore. Sit down at the computer with your guitar, start recording and build some drums around it and all of a sudden you have an idea for another riff and some breaks and the song starts building up as you go along.

6. Where was your last gig? 

We haven’t played our first gig yet.

7. Where would you like to act? 

Anywhere honest and original rock music is appreciated.

8. Whom would you like to feature with? 

Like-minded people.

9. Who not? 

Dick heads and the likes.

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

Norman: In the first band I ever played of course. The only way to beat it is to be confident in yourself. Hell, people are coming to watch you, so get your head out of your ass and put on a show!

11. What bands have inspired you the most? 

Again, too many to name.

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

We need fans…

13. What do you think of your fans? 

We love you all!

14. What do you think of our site?

It’s cool, loads of bands and new music to discover. Thanks for giving unknown bands a chance to be part of your platform.

15. Something add?
