Interview:
What is your inspiration to write your music? Is it your
surroundings?
Our inspirations come from our passions and aspirations, the lifestyle rockers like Rhyse live and their pursuit of a better life for themselves and for the world. Our vision and the future we desire, the men we want to become in the mirror, shapes our songs; with a couple personal juicy stories hidden in the mix.
What type of music did you listen to growing up?
As a kid Rhyse’s family always had classic rock playing or of the radio: Jeff Healey, Fleetwood Mac, Santana, zz top, heart. Into his early teenage years his friends worth large record collections in their families homes introduced him into a broader spectrum of classic rock and eventually heavy metal, including: deep purple, jimi hendrix, supertramp, pink floyd, blue oyster cult, triumph, eventually Megadeth, Judas Priest, iron maiden, Iced Earth, and on it went.
Rhyse recalls skipping class in high school to go over to one of his best friends home to listen to his dad’s records and smoke.
Is there someone you looked up as a hero?
There was a lot. As a vocalist it was Dio, Rob Halford, Matt Barlow, while as a guitarist it was Marty Friedman, Zakk Wylde, Gus G, and in the younger years David Gilmore and Jimi Hendrix. Ashton looked up to drummers like Joey Jordison very heavily growing up.
If you weren’t a musician, would you be doing today?
Bold question to presume most bands in the Underground don’t have two careers. Rhyse is a Electrician specializing in mechanical automation, and Ashton is a finance banker.
What advice do you have for our fans out there that want to create music?
You need to be willing to make sacrifices and stick to it for years. If you’d rather play to have fun, great for you, but if you want to succeed you can’t treat it as a casual hobby. If working hard at music makes you unhappy then it’s not for you, music will test you, and rarely do those with options choose the challenging path of a music career. Dedicated yourself, lock in, and get your F**** rest
