Interview with The Haptics

1. What’s the name of the band?
We are The Haptics!
2. Where are you from?
We hail from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
3. What type of music do you play?
We play post-punk music, influenced by 90s alternative and punk music
4. Introduce yourselves to the readers and tell us what you do in the band?
I’m the lead singer, Jin
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?
My absolute favourite bands growing up were Garbage and Nirvana. I still love
them both! Nowadays I tend to listen to a lot of dark wave and synth wave, like Boy
Harsher or New Order. I love a bit of that industrial noise.
6. Have you always been into music? Was it something that just came to you
naturally?
I played classical piano as a child until my teenage years, and sang in choir in
school. The piano helped familiarize me with song structure and melodies. I started
writing music myself at age 22, at a piano (later, a keyboard).
7. What can we expect from the band in the rest of 2023 and beyond into 2024?
We just released a single, “Vows” October 1st. We’ve got another single, “Biodome”
coming out December 1st. We’re really excited about that one! We’re currently
working on a new album, to be released next year.

9. Let’s answer some fun questions, what is your all time favorite band?
Wow that’s a really difficult question. Probably Garbage or New Order.

10. If you could tour with any band and open or have them open for you, who would
you choose?
I’d love to open for an OG band like Bauhaus or Tears For Fears!
