NoReasonsToDie: We are ready to pleasantly surprise our listeners and we hope that they will appreciate it.
- Hello! And I just want to start with a question: how is your work on the new album getting on?
Hi, Olga! The work is making progress extremely slowly, in connection with the shortage of time and constant experiments with sound! At present we are at a stage of almost full readiness and we are just about to begin recording! As to the contents of the new album it strongly differs from the first album, the sound became better and heavier, the lyrics aren't so naive! We have already presented 2 demo tracks on the internet resources, particularly on VKontakte so they are accessible to listening! So, it will be another couple of tracks which, in our opinion, are not quite comparable with our early creativity. We are ready to pleasantly surprise our listeners and we hope that they will appreciate it.
- Tell us about your impressions after the release of your debut album. I must confess, that the impressions were not the best! In general, the material there is not bad, but it was performed and recorded not in the best conditions. So it is difficult to judge, the first step is always the hardest.
- What influences the writing of this or that song? Different things can influence. More often we write music at first, guitarists Ronnie and Flounder do it. By-turn I can have already some lyrics prepared beforehand, and depending on the mood of a song, either we choose a more suitable lyric or I write a new one. As to the lyrics, I take ideas for them from my own life or from life of my family and friends. The purpose of these texts is to report sufferings and worry so that those lucky people, who have all in their life stop complain and come to the concerts to have fun and not cry!)
- Can you name the Russian bands, whom you especially respect nowadays? Yes, there are such bands. Sure, all heard about them and their names are on everyone's lips. This is Stigmata, Amatory, TractorBowling, Rashamba, Neversmile, Origami. They have achieved a lot and I personally listened to many of their songs.
- With what musicians would you like to sing on one stage most of all? It’s very difficult question. If we consider Russian groups, that’s all above-listed, for sure. As to foreign bands then there is not enough fingers) As I Lay Dying, Protest The Hero, Sonic Syndicate, KillSwitch Engage. This is a short list of bands, which I was able to come up with at the moment.
- Which of your shows do you remember most of all and why? Most of all we remember the 2 concerts. We played in February 2010 in the capital and in April of the same year in Vologda. And we remembered them because these were our first concerts outside Yaroslavl.
- What song do you like to perform most of all? One more difficult question. Every song is loved, in every song there is a piece of our soul, that’s why I’ll not choose among them.
- How much feedback do you get from your listeners? Well for such a not so eminent band from a province, I consider that we sufficiently got quite a quantity of both responses and invitations. We are invited to many cities in Russia, but so far, unfortunately, only by listeners. Probably the organizers have not seen a potential in us yet. But we continue to work over it)
- In what cities do you plan to come with shows? We plan to come to any city where we’re invited. The stage is our life, and wherever it is we are always happy to see the faces of our listeners.
- And the last question. Your wishes to the readers of Bizarre Music! We want to wish you to remain people, not to degrade, and to develop! We want to wish everybody true love and strong health! And sure, most importantly STAY ROCK!!!) With love in heart, NoReasonsToDie.
