Interviews: Coldwards

On this new occasion, we have had the opportunity to interview the Alternative Metal band, Coldwards from the USA. Check out the interview and follow the band on their FACEBOOK PAGE.

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

It's really hard these days to come up with an original band name that is cool and isn't taken by other bands already. The band name is Coldwards and is pronounced

Cold-words.

It has 2 meanings 1. Cold Words and 2. a direction towards the Cold.

I am not sure where I got the idea, it kinda just came to me.

2. Why did you want to play this genre?

We didn't set out to write in any certain genre, we just play what comes out and go with it.

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

And our Bass player Richie Hey are best friends and have played in a band together in the past and My sons Sean and Zac are also in the band so of course we knew each other already! lol! Our lead guitarist Michael Friese was introduced to us by a mutual friend.
