SH: Since your
first CD, you have recently come out with a second project. Tell
us a little more about it.
DB: Our latest
EP "Drive" was inspired by the 2005 Youth Camp. It was the first
time we actually had to ever meet a real deadline. We recorded
it in a basement studio in Milwaukee. The producer was an
engineer friend of my dad. He had two giant parrots which was a
little weird, but to add to it, he had a scary similarity to Kip
of Napoleon Dynamite. For a majority of the recording he let his
giant parrots roam through the equipment while we were
playing. The parrots did have fairly good taste in music though;
they would sway back and forth really quickly to the music.
Their favorite songs were Jean Skirt and Going Home.
DV: Our second
demo was hastily thrown together before a big show last
Christmas and we didn't exactly get to concentrate on the
quality of the
recordings. So I believe this second CD was inspired by the need
to get our music in circulation.
SH: Out of all
of your songs, what would have to be your favorite?
DB: Lighthouse
would have to be my favorite. I've always had a thing about the
sea and its complements. The analogy of our Lord and Savior
being our lighthouse has been a soft spot in my heart for quite
some time.
JC:
Lighthouse-no question. The way Dan rocks out on his bass in the
song reminds me of why I love being in the band so much.
AG: We asked
this question on your last interview, but since this interview
is themed a "Blast from the Past", what is a memory, funny
moment, or special time that you will always remember from this
past year?
JC: Two moments
which I distinctly remember have touched this band in a great
way. Around a year ago Fallen Chains covered the music at a
youth rally in Sun Prairie, WI. That night when we were playing
for alter
call over 11 youths received the Holy Ghost! It was also great
to minister at three conventions that Mark Johnston preached in
and it touched us when he personally thanked Dan, David and I on
the last night
of HYC in Florida.
DV: Well
Shenae, i do believe my new Blast from the Past memory would
definitely be watching you try to surf at Holiday Youth
Convention. Your
lack of a text book style made it rather interesting to watch.
