Rafa: My name is Rafa! And I am the rhythm guitar.
Ferran: I am Ferran, I am the solo guitar.
Jordi: I am Jordi and I play the drums.
5. This is probably a common question but one that most want to know, what musical
influences did you have growing up, and what are some now?
5- When I was a kid I really enjoyed pop rock. I also listened to a lot of fantasy
movies’ BSOs growing up haha. Being a teenager I used to listen to bands like My
Chemical Romance and Paramore. I mainly listened to sad music, if I’m being honest! A
lot of catchy, great songs, as well. I soon discovered post-punk, grunge, alt-rock music…
Patti Smith, Jeff Buckley, Nirvana, The Doors are some of my references now.
6. Have you always been into music? Was it something that just came to you
naturally?
6- I’ve always loved art, in some way. When I was a kid I started to draw and was very
drawn to fantasy and cartoons. The deep love for music came I think a little bit more
gradually and found out it was great to expel my demons and monsters and express the
beauty I found along the way. And I basically learnt to play the guitar and sang every
single day. (Well I love to sing and I sing 24/7)
7. What can we expect from the band in the rest of 2022 and beyond into 2023?
7- There are lots of things going on! We’ll be shooting new videos and releasing new
music that we are already working on. There’s a plan to make a little tour all around
Spain and a few other countries. Hope you watch our media so you stay tuned for fresh
information about concerts, songs and events!
8. For someone who wants to know more about the band, where can they find you?
And where can they find your music?
8- You can find us on Instagram! We regularly upload content and posts about our
events, concerts, rehearsals…
We are also in all major streaming services, like Spotify, Youtube, Pandora, Deezer,
Apple Music, Soundcloud…
9. Let’s answer some fun questions, what is your all time favorite band?
9- Only one band? Impossible! There are bands that have been there all along the way.
Bands like Joy Division or Nirvana. My favorite sound is alternative rock, especially with
acoustic or ambiental bits.
10. If you could tour with any band and open or have them open for you, who would
you choose?
10- I love Mitski! She’s great and it would be awesome to open for her band. I found
out about her music a while ago and I resonate a lot with it.
Thanks for chatting with me From the Green Room and look forward to chatting
again in the future.
