J-How
would you describe the new music to someone who hasn't heard it yet ?
S-Atmospheric rock with classic pop undertones. Definitely grand in scale,
the idea is to transport you out of body, out of mind into a state of euphoric
bliss. A musical abduction if you will.
J-Any touring plans?
S-None right now, just concentrating on writing and recording and doing a few
local shows and showcases, but stay posted because we will definitely be going
out in the near future. Check the website
Revel8.com
for info.
J-What would you say is your favorite recording you have done so far..old or
new?
S-My favorite recordings are usually not my favorite at the time of recording
them; it's always afterwards when were listening back that I appreciate the
process of what we went through to get those tracks. "In the Silence" on the
new stuff was pretty amazing for me, very challenging. And, "Contact High" is
one the best songs Iıve recorded, it just has this vibe that can't be denied.
J-And which one do you not care for..or wish turned out better?
S-I'm pretty happy with most everything I've recorded, sure I could change a few
things sonically here and there but as far as vocally I just got to put it out
there and let it go.
J-Are you into any of the new bands out?
S-You know I still have Sly and the Family Stone's Greatest hits in my CD
player and I donıt listen to too much radio but I do like what I've heard from
Travis and I can't wait for the new Radiohead record to come out.
J-The internet has become a great way to reach the fans..do you mind getting fan
mail?
S-Not at all, bring it on. We love to hear your thoughts and desires or
whatever else may be on your mind.
J-How do you feel about mp3's being downloaded.. for free.. like on Napster?
S-A song here and there doesnıt seem like a big deal, but it's definitely
getting out of hand. It's kinda like underage kids trying to buy alcohol, if
they want it bad enough their going to get it. Bottom line is that they're
going to have to regulate it somehow and compensate the artists by the number of
downloads on that particular song, it's only fair.
J-Do you have a website fans can be updated..and buy cd's etc?
S-We are located at
Revel8.com
for show info, merchandise, song downloads and much more!check it out!!!
J-Well that's about it Stephen..thanks for taking the time..What would you like
to say to your fans reading this?
S-I appreciate from the bottom of my heart the continued support you've shown me
in everything I've done and I look forward to seeing you all out on the road
real soon! Let's Revel 8!!!
