MMI - We have 28 bands on list and the country witnesses’ bands coming up every year. What sets you apart and makes you different? Who are your favourite bands and influences? And why?

-          The band is an Indie Rock band, so we are given with limitless space to create the music that is beyond our arbitrary thoughts…Coz after listening to our songs  people often ask “What Genre did you just play?” So we guess that sets us apart from the other bands…

-         Well when it comes to picking our favourite bands, we don’t have any specific  or particular band…but there are some few bands that have really influenced us like

-         Toe, , Tangled hair, the Jezabels, mutemath,john mayer,Kings of Leon, the 1975 etc…

-          

MMI - A lot of people as a band focus on subjects like social and political aspect. But what subject apart from the ones mentioned above do you have a keen interest in? What current messages do you convey which is important for the youth of today?

-         Well… The songs that we write are mostly about love and the lines between the reality and the spiritual world

“We make mistakes now

We fail we try now

We live our life loud

Until we make it

Still we stand tall

Till the break of dawn

We cry it out loud

We’re just a young heart

We’re just a young heart”

This is taken out from one of our song “Young Hearts” and this is what we want to convey to the youths of today.

MMI -  If someone is interested in your music, what would you tell them to expect from your music? What are your favourite track you guys have recorded and Why?

-         Expect the unexpected lol!!! …ummm we haven’t started recording yet coz we are still a new band…but we will be hitting the studio soon.

MMI -  As India is concerned in music industry, financial situations are hard for a band and it seems people give up on the search for their Dream. What do you think the Dream for your band is and are you searching for it?

 - As we mentioned earlier we are just a project band so we haven’t really set any plans, so as of now we are just going with the flow…

MMI -  Maybe this is your first time playing at HIRC, well If you had to name one of your favourite things that made you guys decide to register and play for the contest, what would it be and why?

-Well as a band the hornbill auditions for Nagaland was our debut gig…so by default that will be our most fun n worst experience…

MMI - There are so many bands and young musicians today and the completion gets more and more every year. What advice do you have for musicians who want to make music their full time career?
