Recently I took time to question the new lead singer of Dreams in Peril,
I did not take it easy on him and I think I am excited to see him live!
Enjoy my interview skills...*Moose
1.Tell us your name and what you do for your band.
My name is Mike Yeager and I am the vocalist, frontman and lyricist. I may decide to do some artwork for the band. But I'm not sure if I like them that much, yet. My art is a gift. I don't just give to anyone.
2. You've joined an established band , do you feel pressure?
No lie, I do feel just a tiny bit, but I'm not stepping into someone else's shoes, I'm coiming into this establishment with my steel toes on, stepping ON TOP of those dingy old Nikes, ready to kick a few heads in. This scenario isn't anything I haven't done before.
3. How did you hear about the gig ? Were you familiar with the band already?
Dalton immediaely hit me up after the conflict with the previous guy. He has been dilligent in trying to get me into a band with him for years, just, the timing hasn't been right. Up until recently and I was like, "Let's fucking do this". And I knew who they were, just not familiar enough with the material until less than 24 hours before my initial audition. I learned 3 songs in less than 24 hours and I guess I did something right to get the job.
4. Did they have any breaking in the new guy rituals?
The normal hazing routines. Spankings, tar and feathers, water boarding, took turns spitting in my mouth, drinking well whiskey from Daltons buttcrack. Ya know, the usual.
5. Why should we listen to DIP, what do you offer us?
Intensity. Seething anger. Raw emotion. An 'in yor face' stage presence. And. I'm 63% handsome. I feel any great and successful band has AT LEAST one halfway handsome member in the ranks. And. The music. Although heavy, to me, it's not "deathcore". I'd say we're a band with a heavy Deftones and early 2000's metalcore influence. It's what we grew up on, so it's no surprise it shows in the music.
6. What's up with the band? any big news the fans need to know?
My lips are fucking sealed.
7. Are you looking forward on putting your signature on the bands sound ?
I absolutely can not wait to start this new album. It's going to be 1000% me. I won't have to learn anyone elses' words and try to mirror the same emotions they had while writing the earlier material. It's going to be raw, nasty, bloody, sweaty and one of the angriest performances you've ever heard. I'll put my nuts on the line for that, 100% customer satisfaction.
8. We've heard Dalton wears women's underwear live, can you comment on that ?
He "borrows" mine and it's frankly starting to piss me off. I wear a garment once, then that little motherfucker snatches it up and parades around like he's fucking Queen Bee Beyonce. GET YOUR OWN SHIT, GURL!
9. This question will scare the hell out of you because you can loose fans but it's an important question
Pro Trump or dump Trump?
I'm not scared of a fucking thing. sheep will be sheep. Let them follow each other off the fucking cliffs. Public execution, I'd be more than happy to swing that axe down to the chopping block.
10, your message to fans ?
Think for yourself. Be Yourself. Believe in yourself. Don't follow trends. Be happy Be who you want to be. Worsphip no Gods and serve no masters and you'll all love life that much more. I really hope you dudes love what you're about to see/hear and if you need an ear, holler. I'm never too far away for anybody. Bless bless bless.
