Interview: Din from Zerobridge
Can you tell me a little bit about the songwriting process for you guys on the new album: is it a collective process or do you come up with a melody first or how does that work for you all?
Din: Um, well, I write the songs and it happens in different ways because sometimes I have a finished idea or a finished song and I bring it to the band and then we, you know, rehearse it over and over and over again. And then, you know, some ideas, will come about through, you know, some of the other guys will come up with their own songs and then I'll just kinda go home and it'll be like homework and I kinda obsess over it and, uh, just kinda on my own, you know, in my apartment with my acoustic guitar, just go over it, and, uh, around the clock. So I come up with something that I think is, uh, just something that is solid and then it just goes into that again. I think, you know, as a band we just, decide, you know, even though we write the songs we use, we decide, we produce them together. And, um, as far as like the songwriting process, for me, you know, a lot of it just comes in bits and pieces. You know, I'll write something and um I'll think it's good, and then I realize that one line or a couple of chords are actually really good and then, you know, I'll sit on that and then try to get something out of that as time goes on. Um, you know, some songs and pieces of songs I wrote years ago but they just happen to fit well with something I'm writing now. Um, and then you know, some songs they just, ah, come out very easily. Like This is My Version off of the EP. It was very immediate, it just came about very quickly. So, I mean, it's all across the board. But, I think most of time it's more like an evolution of how songs progress with different pieces here and, uh, it's kinda like cutting up a collage and stuff.
Now do you guys plan on touring any? With the new EP?
Din: Well, uh, as far as touring goes, we're ah, we're just trying to get the northeast now. Like I said, I mean, we're not signed yet and we all work during the day. So it's very hard, we don't have that flexibility to tour or like most bands do. Um, so right now we're just concentrating on the northeast: Philadelphia, Boston, New York, D.C., where I grew up. You know I only grew up a little bit outside of D.C.. You know, I think that the plan is just to garner enough buzz, to get things moving and to get people interested. You know, thankfully, it's been going that way, with the EP out on the internet.
