Sittin' Bull - Interview

Hey, Breathing The Core fans, here we bring you another interview of the Melodic Hardcore band Sittin' Bull from Russia, so here you can see and give a like to his 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?  

At first we had another name but it wasn't great honestly... And then we get inspiration in History channel - someone of us watched a program about chief Sitting Bull, one of the greatest man in american history. This man was the one who beat the troops of Europeans in big battle - that was incredible. And he was a true leader in life, wise and strong man who loved his motherland. That's why we thought we'd love to call our band his name.

2.Why did you want to play this genre?      

We played a lots of different genres and now we've got what we got - a kind of hardcore, kind of nu metal, kind of rapcore and kind of athmospheric music. We ain't choose the genres - our musical preferences and life experience are leading our style. That is what we enjoy - to feel free in what we play and stay true.

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

Yeah, this squad is band of old friends. We are from one childhood and that's what we appreciate and proud of. And you can hear that in our last release - EP Roots.

4. Each band member favourite band?      

David - Emmure , System Of A Down

Alex - Rise Of The Northstar, As I Lay Dying

Denis - After The Burial, Story of The Year

Ivan - Muse, Limp Bizkit

Amir - Cypress Hill, Linkin Park

Killer Crayon - The Prodigy.

5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?    

We inspired to write songs we guess by everything in the world. Life is so huge so you just open your eyes and probably must be inspired. A lot of things are beautiful, just open your eyes and your mind. So, as being said, we are inspired by the life around us, now matter how it actually goes.

6. Where was your last gig?    

Our last gig was in Volgograd, we made it to support our brand new work - EP Roots, released in June and mastered in Boston by Chris "Zeuss" Harris, and using this opportunity we'd like to say him big thanks again for awesome job!

7. Where would you like to act?      

It's Wembley for sure. It's funny, but thanks God we still have right to dream big!

8. Whom would you like to feature with?      

It's Limp Bizkit, System Of A Down, Korn, Deez Nuts and maybe Emmure and... Cypress Hill.

9. Whom not?    

Tokio Hotel :)

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

Yeah, all of us were just beginners in music and of course we were afraid of stage. But that sence, "to rock that club", was stronger than fear for real. So the main advice to young bands - just rock that stage, don't be shy, guys. You are the best, and your music is awesome - so just enjoy your performance. That's the way, believe us ;)

11. What bands have inspired you the most?      

At first it was Nirvana. We were just crazy about that. Then it was Hatebreed, Korn, Limp Bizkit and Deftones - they teached us how to play it heavy and groovy. And now most inspirational music for us is all kinds of hardcore, rapcore, trap music, old school rap and of course Justin Timberlake. :D  P.S. That's for real

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

We think that was not asking but real thing - our fan came to our show in Penza when we were in tour by hitch-hiking! That was incredible and we took him to next city.

13. What do you think of your fans?    

Our fans are the best in the universe. These people breathing life into us. All we do - is for them. Our relationship with them is what makes us happy and keep moving forvard. Thank you, guys! We love Y'all!

14. What do you think of our site?
