The Company Band Week: Day 2
|
?: You're releasing your debut EP, can you us what fans can expect music wise from the band? How it differs from the other bands you guys have been involved with?
Neil: I think if there is one tie that binds it's the love of straight up rock and roll. The bands that influence our respective bands are the same that influence T.C.B. There was never any discussion about what the band would or would not be. We just threw it over the fence to see where it would land. Once I heard the riffs that Jim and Dave were kicking around, I knew it was going to fun.
We will be back tomorrow with more Q&A with Neil. The EP is available on iTunes right now and will be released in CD form next week. It seriously kicks major ass. For now you can check out clips of the songs and get more info on the band
