Fan Submitted Question

Q. When is your next gig?


A. Well, our next gig is beginning to look like it will be somewhere in Akron, on Feb. 10th. We don’t have an address yet, so we haven’t posted it yet, but keep coming back to the site, as soon as we have all the information, we will make a posting.


Q. Which song was the toughest to write?

A. That’s a tough question. Every song we’ve done, including a bunch we don’t have on the website yet, have had unique challenges for us to overcome.  Personally, I would have to choose “Faded”, because several of the riffs in that song were written back in 1994. Since then, I had tried to finish the song repeatedly, but I was never happy with the final results, so it was put on the back musical burner. I was finally able to pull the song together with the help of Knight Soul and our old guitarist Sean Snyder. It came together so smoothly, it was almost like I was meant to hold it until we formed this project.  As a band though, I think the most challenging song would have to be “The Journey”. It was very much a journey in itself to complete this song, and we had to do so under a rigorous time limit. I think the final results though are great!  I can’t neglect to mention another song which plagues our existence even to this day… Back in the early parts of 2009, we started writing a song called “Hybrid Angel”. We have played this song several times live, but it’s always been an instrumental, because we’ve never managed to finish the lyrics. Finish the music for the song took forever, and has gone through at least three revisions. Hopefully someday, we can release this one for you to all hear.


Q. What song was the easiest to write?

A. Most people don’t know this, but Knight Soul is a hell of a composer. When he and I formed ‘The Alliance’, he had already finished a great number of our songs. Music Box, Lyrics for a Love Lost, Epic Blue, were all his before the project formed. All we had to do, was write complimenting guitars to go along with what he already had. So, that was really easy, and didn’t take long at all.  However, I think the easiest we’ve done to date, is a song we started, and finished writing just yesterday, in less than four hours. It still doesn’t have lyrics, but I think it’s going to be fantastic as soon as we finish them. The song is called “Dawn of a New Age”, watch for it on the website!
