1.Please
introduce yourself and tell us who you sing for
My name is
Evan Mitchell and I sing for Machines on Blast.
2.What /
Who made you want to sing?
I was a
drummer by trade. When I first started writing for what is now Machines on
Blast, I started tracking scratch vocals for the demo songs and found out I
kind of had a voice that was working with the tone of the songs. So I stuck
with it, and here we are!
3.Who was
the first singer you saw live that gave you chills?
There were
two vocalists that stand out for the "chills" moment.Peter Murphy
singing an acoustic version of David Bowie's Major Tom, and the first time I
saw Gary Newman.
4.Many
people say heavy music is just screaming, How would you combat that statement?
A lot of
it has that element for sure, but there are many heavy bands that are able to
mix up their vocal stylings for a more diverse sound.
5.If you
growl or do harsh vocals how do you keep your voice after such violent
performances?
Well,
using proper singing techniques and air control my throat rarely ever gets sore,
but when it does, there is a calming tea called "Throat of Lucifer"
that I drink.
6. Do you
have a warm up routine? Tell u bout it ?
I will
just do a 5 - 10 minute scale routine, nothing fancy.
7. Do you
think power or performance is more important?
if you can
combine them both then you are golden. With that being said some of the best
performances I have ever seen have been a sloppy mess, but the energy and the
vibe were at 100%
8. Who do
you think gets unfair vocal praise, someone the world thinks is great but is
not? / And who is great but does not get the credit?
People
like what they like. Something in their brain says "wow that is good, or
wow that is bad" . I really have no idea who is over/underrated. The world
could use another Peter Steele, and Sam Carter from the Architects is super
dope!
9.Name
your top 5 vocalist
Dio
Halford
Sam Carter
Roger
Waters
Gary
Newman
10.Micheal
Buble or Jim Gallette? Just testing your skills here
Oh Nitro,
maybe if Jim didn't abuse Lita Ford...
11.Who do
you love to listen to that would surprise people?.
I rarely
listen to the type of music I write. I normally stay with Swampy blues music
and Motown.
12.If you
could remove the autotune from any singer who would it be?
Cher, just
to see if she would still believe in life after love!
