Kingdoms - Interview

Hey, Breathing The Core fans, here we bring you another interview of the Post-Hardcore/Metalcore band Kingdoms from USA, so here you can see and give a like their FACEBOOK PAGE. We have nothing more to say, so enjoy this interview!

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

We teased the idea of a couple of band names here and there, but once we came up with the concept for the logo and the EP album art, Kingdoms felt right to us.

2.Why did you want to play this genre? 

We all grew up listening to music like this, and have been in and out of bands before, so once we all found each other everything just clicked.

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

Personally I myself (Chris) wasn't recruited until the band was just about to enter the studio, and that was by Jon, who got in from the old vocalist of the band, who pretty much started this thing with Rob. We needed a drummer, and our producer recommended Max to us. Eventually we needed a new vocalist, and Jon and I knew Tran, so we recruited him on board.

4. Each band member favourite band? 

Tran (vocals) - the story so far

Jon (guitar) - Vanna

Rob (guitar) - Outline In Color

Chris (bass) - Memphis May Fire

Max (drums) - A Day To Remember

5. Who or what inspires you to write songs? 

The people we all look up to have really inspired us, as well as our friends, family, past experiences and people we've met.

6. Where was your last gig? 

The American Legion, in Willow Grove PA, with Varials and Closer to Closure.

7. Where would you like to act?

It's always been a dream of ours to play on the Vans Warped Tour and play around the country.

8. Whom would you like to feature with? 

I think I speak for everyone in saying a tour with Memphis May Fire would be pretty niiiiice.

9. Whom not? 

We'd rather not open for the West Borough Baptist Church live musical, we'll pass on that one.

10. Any of you has ever suffered from stage fright? Any tip for beginners on how to beat that? 

We've all played in front of crowds our whole lives pretty much, and never really had to worry about stage fright, but the biggest piece of advice we could give you is to just forget about the crowd and lose yourself in the music (que eminem music).

11. What bands have inspired you the most? 

As far as the style of writing goes we've been pretty influenced by Memphis May Fire and Myka, Relocate.

12. What's the weirdest thing a fan has ever asked you for? 

One fan asked it they could make a "fan fiction" of our band. I have yet to read this fan fiction though.

13. What do you think of your fans? 

They're amazing, and we love everyone who has ever listened to us. We want to meet all of you some day and thank you for the amount of support we've gotten so far.

14. What do you think of our site?  

It's awesome what you've got going here, this is a great resource for discovering new bands from all around the world we wouldn't otherwise stumble across.

15. Something to add?

Keep jamming our songs and following us for more music and updates, and support local music! None of these bands would be anything without the fans that support them, and coming out to shows and having a good time.
