Music Junkie Press: Congratulations on making it to the top 25 Finalists for the KBB Records Battle of the Bands! How was it when you learned you made it to the 25 finalists category?
A Hero To Fall: We were shocked and excited when we learned that we made he top 25. I clicked on a link to see if our band had made it, and sure enough, our band picture was posted with a button to vote underneath it. There were hundreds of submissions, so it felt amazing to know that we made the cut.
Music Junkie Press: Tell us about A Hero To Fall and what this record deal would mean for you?
A Hero To Fall: We have always had a hard time describing our genre and sound because it tends to be more dynamic, but we usually tell people that we are an Alternative/Post-Punk band. This Record deal would be truly amazing, but even if we don’t win, we will still pursue a career in music! We have always sought to make the best music we possibly can and making a living by doing what we love is what we strive for.
Music Junkie Press: How did you guys form your band?
A Hero To Fall: Well, we are based out of Santa Rosa, California and we have been together for roughly two years. Andrew and I (Michael) have been playing guitar together since 8th grade. We actually found our drummer John on craigslist and we totally lucked out because he is an amazing drummer. Finding a bassist was an incredibly long and drawn out process. I can’t even remember how many bassists we went through before finding Maurice ( also on Craigslist), but we are glad we did because he is a great guy and awesome bassist. We make it a priority to incorporate elements from all of our favorite genres when creating music, that way everyone gets a say and we can create something truly unique. This band is really a group effort and we work together on just about everything.
Music Junkie Press: Do you have any upcoming shows you would like to share with our audience?
A Hero To Fall: Yes!!! On May 31st we will be playing with our buddies in Awoken Shadows, and their friends in Cherri Bomb at the Assembly in Sacramento. We will also be playing the following day, June 1st, at the DNA Lounge in San Francisco with the same lineup.
Music Junkie Press: If you could create your dream lineup, what three bands would you have on the bill with A Hero To Fall?
A Hero To Fall: Ooh that is a tough one! Well I would probably have to just name the members’ favorite bands, so probably Rise Against, Stick To Your Guns, and Bring me The Horizon.
Music Junkie Press: Lastly, is there something you would like to share with our audience?
A Hero To Fall: We would like to say thanks for supporting our music and music in general! Also, thanks to our buddies in Awoken Shadows, they are rad and have helped us out a lot, so check them out! Also, we just finished a full length music video and will be announcing a tour soon, so keep an eye out for that!
