Morganton INTERVIEW

1.What is the name of your band and how did you come up with it?
What is your name and what do you do for the band?

We’re Morganton, and in Morganton NC there’s an all girl asylum named Broughton so we named it based off of that.

I’m Dylan mannarino and I play drums for Morganton and manage the band as well.

I’m Brendon Klinedinst and I play bass for morganton

I’m Logan, I play guitar and do vocals for Morganton

2.Tell us where you are based and describe the scene. How do you think where you are located influences your sound.

We’re based in Charlotte NC and the Charlotte scene has changed drastically throughout the years so we’ve seen all the sides of it, and as of right now there is an incredible amount of talented bands all around Charlotte with a very strong sound and we’ve had the pleasure of sharing the stage with quite a few of them, so being aware of that we try to push ourselves while trying to create our own sound.


3.Who influences your sound that would surprise people?

I mean we’re all into some pretty weird shit but I wouldn’t define it as influencing our sound, when we sit down and write songs influences kinda go out the window, we just throw some some riffs together and that’s when Ideas start flying and that’s where we like to get our creativity from. If anything were really just trying to out do ourselves.



4.Are you endorsed by musical companies , if so who , and if not who would you like to be endorsed by?

No we’re not, any endorsee would be fine at this point


5.When you started what was your ultimate goal? And how close to the goal are you now?

Trying to gain recognition, we always wanted to make sure we would fit in with the Scene and I think we achieved that greatly.



6.In today's digital environment it takes creative strategy to keep things moving. What creative ideas do you have to keep your band relevant over time?

I guess to stay relevant we just do what we think what needs to be Done as a band, we just try to be “Us” as much as possible and thanks to social media we can use that to our abilities and so far it’s worked out in our favor

7.We've all seen a terrible live band that is awesome on CD. Is that cool with you or do you lose respect for bands that cannot pull it off live?

Your performance on stage is a resemblance of how the music makes you feel and if you can’t feel the music you’re doing it for all the wrong reasons. So yeah it is hard to respect bands like that.

8.Tell us your “core” are you Metal , Rock , Punk , Pop etc because people just have to categorize these days you know?

We’d fit in the metal/punk genre


9.This is a tough question but a very real reality, Is your band actually talented or just popular?
Many bands make it with a cliche or publicity stunts etc. Would you accept fame even if it was just because of being the “ in” thing or is it actually important to you that you gain favor with talent?
 


At the the end of the day talent comes first and it always will and that’s something we’ve always focused on. We wouldn’t say we’re “popular” and we’re always trying to out do ourselves as musicians so gaining favor from that is important, gotta give credit where credit is due.

10.Tell us what to expect from you live. Nothing is more boring than watching bands stare at the floor and bob their heads to music nobody but the band knows. What can your band offer in a live setting that people will remember?

Pure energy from start to finish, we try to get the crowd engaged as much as possible



11. What releases have you put out , When will we see something new?

We actually just released our first full Length record and we plan on recording a 6 song EP later in 2019 and then hopefully another full length record.

12. If you have videos where can we see them?

We have live videos on our YouTube channel but that’s about it

13.Everybody has Bandcamp , ReverbNation , Soundcloud , etc
Why do you think this is so important? Doesn't it seem like everyone is giving everything out for free?

It really has to do with what they wanna do with their music, thanks to social media you can spread music like wildfire and these apps such as bandcamp, SoundCloud, Spotify, etc its very easy to gain some recognition, anybody can listen to your music and that’s the whole point of all of this is to get your music out there, you gotta start somewhere Yknow?



14.Best moment of your career so far?

Probably playing with captured by robots

15.Your message to the fans?
