Hi all!
I han an honor of doing interview the one and only Sins Of The Siren. They are just amazing band I fell in love with their music when I heard it for the first time. They are independent artist (that's always a plus!) and you can find them on Bandcamp
1. How did you come up with the band name?
(Joe) I suppose, since we had a female with a great voice in the band, I wanted to use the word “Siren” in some way (referring to the sirens in mythology, that would sing and lead sailors to their deaths). From there, our old drummer came up with “Sins of the”, and just like that we had our band name.
2. When did Sins Of The Siren start and whose idea it was?
(Joe) Sins of the Siren was born in late 2011. I suppose it was my idea, as I had music laying around from the late 90’s that I had written and programmed, and wanted to bring back to life. So with the exception of some of the lyrics, and some of the drums, most of what you hear on our debut album was first written in the late 90’s!
3. Is it hard for an independent artist to get noticed?
It is. It helps of course to have good music, and then something else that makes you unique from the tons of other independent bands out there. The trick is to get people talking about you. The trick is also to not be in it for fame or money, but to do it because you love it.
4. How big is the scene in US?
The underground goth/industrial scene seems to still be alive and kicking. It has a different feel than in the past, maybe not as many bodies, but still alive nonetheless.
5. Where does inspiration come from for lyrics and music?
Lyrics can be from personal experiences, mythology, fantasy, romance, and in some cases, nothing at all. Musically, we’re pretty influenced by older industrial and 80’s music. Perhaps some goth too…
6. Many artists are releasing music on Bandcamp and I think it is good way to reach out to the audience. Your thoughts on this?
We love Bandcamp. We have our debut album temporarily free to download on that site. It’s a great way to get your music into the hands of people all over the world…
7. When will there be 2nd album?
We are currently working on it. Ideally, it will be done by the summer of 2017. But realistically, it’s quite possible it could be cold out by the time it’s finished… perhaps even warm again.
8. What other plans you have for the future?
We have a show coming up in May in Southern California, where we are going to attempt to play 2 sets for the first time ever. (totally different songs for each set). We would also like to start playing more shows with similar bands, or at clubs that play music similar to our style. And of course we need to finish our 2nd album… We would also love to make a music video for our song Luxuria, which is from our first album. It’s a very sexy song, that needs a very sexy video. Perhaps we could make some shirts and other merch too... That’s about it. Thanks for the interview!
