Interviews: Counterfeit Culture

In this new occassion we have had the opportunity to interview the Metalcore/Post-Hardcore band Counterfeit Culture, from USA. Check out this band and give them a like on their FACEBOOK PAGE.

1. Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or came out just like that? 

One night, we decided we needed a name to better represent our message. We all sat on skype together, when Elijah said "How about Counterfeit Culture?" It was that moment when we all knew that would be our new name. 

2.Why did you want to play this genre? 

We all grew up listening to heavy music, so it was something that we all connected with. Plus the crowd response is better than any other genre, we all love the energy the fans give off. 

3. Did you know each other before the band was formed? 

Nick and Pat went to high school together, then we found Chris on Instagram from his drum videos, and Chris knew Elijah from going to shows around the area.

Elijah: Rage Against The Machine 

Chris: Korn
