Interview #10: Legacy


A band with so much potential, a real big fan base, yet unsigned, enough time to entertain and talk to the fans, while working on their debut album, really can call it self a Legacy! These guys will surely be a shining star in the heaven of hard music!
Check out my dudes from Legacy!

So you guys are going to be a legacy? Tell us whats behind the name? 
- Honestly, i wish we had a good story for it, but we just kind of came across the word "Legacy" and it fit what we were going for with this band. We want to create our own "legacy"


How would you guys describe your sound, since it's pretty unique?
- Our sound is a little unique, we just take a lot of bit and pieces of sounds that other bands that are doing well and make it our own.


Where do you get inspirations? What influenced the band and what does it the most?
- Our inspiration is really simple, we want to do what we love and want to make friends along the way.

Which genre would define the band the most?
- I guess we would lean towards metal.


What are your lyrics about? Tell us what moves you to write lyrics?
- Our lyrics are about life lessons and stories, something almost everyone can relate to.


Do you guys have a motto or anything you stand for? Straight edge maybe?
- I guess we don't really have a "motto" but we like to call ourselves a "Fans Band" We want to meet every single one of our fans and just hang out.


What do you guys think about scenes or about stereotype thinking?
- We really hate stereotyping, we want our music to be something everyone and anyone can listen to.


Do you guys have known, what kind of music you will or want to play before starting the band?
- We just really wanted to play something up beat and catchy. Something that we will enjoy playing day in and day out.


Tell us if there is a message in the music, that you want to express to the listeners.
- Were a pretty positive band, and no matter how much crap you may go through or people talk down on you, push through everything and prove everyone wrong. No one can stop you except yourself.


What are your personal favorite bands? What kinds of music do you listen to?
- We listen to so much different stuff. Really anything ranging from our friends in The Plot In You, to Skrillex, Decoder, As I Lay Dying, to even Panic At The Disco and 30 Seconds to Mars.


Are some of the bands also influencing your band?
- I guess you can say August Burns Red, Parkway Drive and Bring Me The Horizon.

What are your interests beside the band? What do you do beside it?
- We are really big into sports believe it or not. During practices we go out and play a couple games of basketball. I think sometimes we are more into the basketball than the band. haha

What things are coming up? News about new releases, new merch, line up changes?
- Well, we just confirmed a short 10 day run with Ace Augustine in August and we have a tour lined up that i cannot release in October-November. We do have a line up change that we will be releasing here soon and we have some new music on the way.

Do you guys have played in other bands before?
- We have all played in various local bands around Toledo.

Which bands would you recommend for taking a listen to?
- Check out our boys in The Plot In You, Legion, A Bullet For Pretty Boy and Ludlow Falls.

What was your sickest show?
-I would have to say The Jamboree in Toledo. It was so nice seeing 800+ kids from our home town throwing down and singing all the words to our songs.


Which bands do you want to share the stage with?
- We would all like to share the stage with so many bands, but bigger names, probably Bring Me The Horizon, August Burns Red and Miss May I.

Which bands would you like to tour with and how would your favorite tour look like?
- thats a tufty, so many different bands we could tour with. But i think the ultimate tour would be an all Ohio band tour with us, The Devil Wears Prada, Miss May I, Attack Attack, Like Moths To Flames, The Plot In You & The Crimson Armada.

Any messages left to fans, friends or family?
- Thanks so much for all the support thus far, it really means a ton. We cant wait to start touring heavy starting this Fall and early next year. Keep on the lookout for new tour dates and also some other news that is in the works.
