Interview by Kevin Pollock
First can you
introduce the band names, ages & position in the band?
Name: Rear View
Bob Glassford, 17 - Guitar, Vocals
Bryan Kish, 17 - Bass, Vocals
Duncan Miles, 17 - Drums
How did the
band form & how would you describe the sound?
We have been best friends all of our
lives, but Bryan and I (Bob) started to mess around with music
when we were in like grade 7. It was weird because we've experimented
with so many different arrangements between us. At first I
played drums and Bryan played guitar. Then in about grade
8 or so both Bryan and I were playing guitar. Then finally
we've come upon how we are today. As far as our sound goes
we've got pretty up-beat riffs, some clean, some distorted.
We've got bass solos, guitar solos, and drum solos. We'd pretty
much class ourselves as modern punk or pop punk. I like 'modern
punk' better because 'pop' just makes me think of a group
of guys who sing and don't play their own instruments.
Whats been
your best moment as a band so far?
Our best moment as a band so far is
just during and after each show, how the kids respond. We
love it, and we love playing live. We always goof off and
stuff on stage, which is just a indicator of what we're like
off stage. We're always doing something to amuse ourselves
or other people.
Outside the
band what hobbies do you each have?
Duncan - working, playing nintendo.
Bryan - working, working on cars and engines.
Bob - playing hockey, working, sitting infront of the computer.
For all the
ladies boxers or briefs & for the guys best pickup lines?
Bryan - Boxers.
Bob - Briefs.
Duncan - Boxers
Best pick up line:
Bob - Is that a mirror in your pocket cuz I can see myself
in your pants
What kind of
equipment do you each use?
Bryan - Barracuda bass guitar, Peavey
amplifier.
Bob - Fender Strat, Crate amplifier
Duncan
- Procussion Drums, Sabian cymbals.
Any plans for
recording in the future?
Yeah, actually were recording some demos right now. We still
have a few things to finish up but they will be done soon.
Where do you
see the band in 5-10 years?
In 5 to 10 years hopefully our band will be as far as we can
possibly be. We will definitely have a full length record
out by then and hopefully more. We're still looking for a
record label right now so hopefully we will be signed then
also.
If you could
change one thing about yourself what would it be?
We've all pretty much agreed that if we could change one thing
about ourselves, we'd be smarter.
Where can the
fans learn more about you & buy your merchandise?
Yeah we've got a website, http://rear_view.tripod.com, where
you can check us out. We've got some t-shirts, and pictures,
and video clips, and lots more.
