Cope (Band Interview)

Today we chat to Mickey, the drummer -and second half- of Cope. Let’s start with this: What’s the history of your band? Tyson and I have played together in a few different bands over the last 8 years. A two-piece was something we always talked about but it finally came to be during a period of downtime from our other projects. It was nice because we play different roles in other bands and there is often a principal songwriter in those situations, but this is our first full on collaboration. It also brings us back to our main instruments, Tyson on guitar and me playing drums. What’s your musical history? (Trained or Amateur)? Tyson is a self-taught musician, playing guitar […]

Cydemind (Band Interview)

Today we speak to Cydemind. Let’s start with this: What’s the history of your band? We formed in 2011 for what should have been a one-time show and then disband.

Sigil (Band Interview)

Today we speak to Alex Citrone from Sigil. Let’s start with this: What’s the history of your band? I’m originally from Boston (So was my great grandmother. -Ed) and had played metal there for a decade and thus made some good connections. It just so happened when I got to Austin, there was another New Englander, Vincent Hausman, who played in a band back up north called Howl.
