Since good bands are pretty rare to find in South America, i had the luck of meeting another one, which actually have their own sound, which is really great i think. And for me, good music has to be supported, though the tastes from human to human are quite different. But i think will be a few or some more who will really dig these guys. So help me and these guys and show some love!
Q: How did the band get started?
A: Our guitarist, Henrique, always wanted a band since elementary school.
Later, he made many friends in search of members for the band, but it was only in conversation and had no all the result we wanted.
Then one day he met Caio [Caftor band] and started playing guitar, learning together.
After, meet Leonardo, a boy doesn't like rock in this time, but the coexistence made him change, and he liked it so much that he began to play bass. So we did a test with two other friends over and the band was then called up, Fight For Life. Did not happen. They tried several times but without result.
Some time later he joined the band Slim, [Pop / Rock] to replace the guitarist had left and it was the drummer Eric (our drummer). Why not be our style of music, the band has not progressed, so did the idea for a new band with a sound proposal more labored and heavy.
Thus came the band Beaufighter, which currently is called Sea Smile.
Q: How would you describe your sound?
A: We play metalcore, melodic vocals with the post-hardcore and breakdowns. We do not label the same sound. We put as metal / rock for each label and classify the band as you like and understand the musical proposal.
Q: Which genre defines your band the most?
A: Metalcore
Q: How came the idea for your band name?
A: The band's name was first Beaufighter, then decided to change because Beaufighter looks like things related to video games, lol, so we decided to put Smile Sea as the sea can be calm and as heavy as our sound
Q: Tell us about your lyrics. What are the themes in it?
A: Our lyrics talk about feelings, try to transcribe what I feel in my compositions, for example, "Bem Vindos" I did when I was a normal day, rushing for work and so on, "Nossos Planos" is a song with lyrics that talks about love, plans a couple, and "Eu Não irei Fugir da Guerra" is a day I was tired of many things, but I can not give up, have to fight, stay focused and fight for the things I want !
Q: What do you want to say with your music? Is there a message to the listeners?
A: We want to show everybody that we all have problems and we are always willing to solve them and move on. When I say problems are problems of everyday life, the sentimental part of each one. There are no band of self-help, but we like to show you how to face and solve our problems
Q: What are your favorite bands?
A: Many! The World Alive, A Day To Remember, As I Lay Dying, Our Last Night, August Burns Red, Of Mice & Men, Miss May I. But do not just hear only Metalcore. Our singer, Erick likes to listen to Emarosa, Dance Gavin Dance, Pierce The Veil, City and Colour, Jonny Craig, etc.
Q: Where do you get your inspirations, beside to other bands?
A: Our inspiration comes from everyday life, and everything we feel we quote in our songs, I think this is the basic principle to make music that touches the heart and the thoughts of the listener
Q: What things are coming up? News about new releases, new merch? Tell us.
A: We are a very new band, we have to offer is our Myspace, Facebook, twitter, YouTube and other social networks where they can find our pictures, our videos, download our songs for free.
We have plans for the future, record a new EP or even a CD and after that invest more in these media, like CD's, official merch, new pictures, new layouts for Myspace, Facebook and even creating a website!
Soon you will have news about the Sea Smile!
Q: Are there any bands you would like to see on this page in future? Are there bands you would recommend to this site or for taking a listen?
A: Yes, bands from around the world, we want everyone viewing this page and might know a little more about us! We would like every one who reads this interview, send to a friend, to some producer or record company, that really would be a great help to us, a Brazilian band and still little known internationally
Q: What was your sickest show?
A: All our shows have a special taste! Because we are a band with little time on the road (just over 1 year) and started doing a show is 7 months, but we can say that one of our best shows was in a city near São Paulo, Mogi das Cruzes, the show was simply amazing, there's even a video on our channel on youtube that day!
Another show that is in our memories was our first international show, where he shared the stage with an Argentinean band called No Guerra, and other greats of Brazil, was special!
