Video Interview: Super Prime @ Webster Hall

>> On Sunday October 9th 2011, a pop-punk trio by the name of Super Prime took the stage at The Studio @ Webster Hall in New York City. After their energetic performance, I had the chance to speak with Adam (vox / guitar) and Marcus (drums). The interview went on for about 25 minutes, so I split it into three parts. In part one, the guys talk about the band, their background, line-up changes, and their emphasis on the question "If not now, when?" In part two, they discuss the big picture for Super Prime, including how they keep a realistic perspective and found a method that works for them. Part three goes into detail about what's next for Super Prime. This is where you can hear about the band's upcoming shows, their full length LP, as well as other dreams and plans. You can see all three parts of this interview below.

Valencia Call It Quits

>> Valencia have called it quits, for now at least. The band announced their hiatus yesterday (October 11th) on their website, stating that the members would be releasing new music individually while keeping open the possibility of a reunion in the future. The announcement also provided details of Valencia's final show, a goodbye for now, to take place in late December. The band's official statement can be seen below.



Valencia originally came together back in 2003. Most of us were still just in high school, but we all had gotten to know each other through the tightly knit music community we grew up in around Philadelphia. We started this band because of a mutual need to create something heartfelt and to give everyone a message we needed to share. We all felt like music would be the most significant part of our lives, but never in our wildest dreams could we have predicted the things we’d get to do, or more importantly, the people we would meet because of this band and the songs we wrote and shared with the world.

We started touring full time in late 2004, thanks to everyone at I Surrender Records putting faith in our band and releasing our first record. Ever since then, we’ve given everything we had to our music. We’ve been touring nonstop since then, playing shows in 46 states and five different countries over seven years, all of them places we were brought to thanks to people that believed in what we had to say.

This band started when we were teenagers, and now, as we enter our mid-to-late twenties, we’ve decided that it’s time for us to scale back our time on the road and explore the other elements of life that are not as easily accessible while touring full time. We aren’t considering this our band breaking up, because if that was the case, this situation would feel very final, and it doesn’t feel that way to us. It remains natural for us to write music together and there is always a possibility that we will release new music as Valencia sometime in the future. In the meantime, new music will be written and released by each of us and when that happens, we will let you know.

In honor of starting this next chapter, please join us on December 28th, 2011 for one last show in our hometown of Philadelphia, at the Electric Factory. We hope you’ll be there with us to share one of the most personal, memorable, and important nights of our lives. Thank you all for everything - the letters, the tattoos, the years of listening, for so many countless, priceless sentiments - there’s no way we could ever fully express our gratitude for everything you’ve done for us. We’ve been given the chance to go down a path not many are able to take, and because you’ve had our backs through the story that is our band, we’re able to continue that journey through whatever comes next for us.

From the bottom of our hearts,

Shane, George, Brendan, Dan, Trevor, JD, and Max

Valencia

Video Interview: Jonas Sees In Color & This Love

>> As I've mentioned before, I was fortunate enough to get to hang out with Ryan from Jonas Sees In Color and Joe from This Love after their show with This Condition on September 17th. I first interviewed Joe, but once Ryan walked outside he sat down with us too. This second interview (in three parts) shows the bond formed between touring bands, and how you never know how or when you'll end up finding your best friend. Both interviews from this night were recorded by Kyle Gorry of Bellwether outside of the venue. You can see my one-on-one interview with Joe here, and you can watch the interviews with both him and Ryan below.
