Bearing the terrible clichéd nature of this question, what do you reckon people will say you sound like?
A lot of people have said we remind them of Evanescence which we are quite chuffed about.
What do you love about making music?
The magic of giving our feelings sounds.
What’ve you got to sell CD-wise?
To celebrate the release of our first single Poison we are giving it away for free via soundcloud at soundcloud.com/theaoedeproject.
What inspires or has influenced your music the most?
We love being misunderstood by non-creatives suffering from superiority complexes. They fuel our music with the just right amount of rage.
When are you playing live/releasing your album/EP/single/etc?
We’ve just released Poison and we are feverously working on putting on a show and our next single release.
Tell us about the last song you wrote.
It’s a song called Robots and it’s about keeping humans in ignorance and fear for mass control, manipulation and domination.
When, and why did you start writing music?
I remember the day I learnt about poems in primary school – haven’t stopped writing since.
Where would you like to be in five years?
Sharing our music with the world.
If your music was a chocolate bar, which one would it be, and why?
Most definitely marvellous creations – jelly popping and candy beanies. You just don’t know what you’re gonna get next.
If you could go on tour with any musician or band, who would it be?
Metric.
How do you balance making and playing music with your other commitments?
Between writing, playing, singing, rehearsing, recording, producing, videoing, designing, web developing, promoting, performing, social media-ing and working full time, life certainly gets a little crazy! There is simply no way we’d survive through it without each other.
Tell us about the filming of your first video Poison.
Our director found a beautiful pine forest nestled in the midst of the Dandenong Ranges. It was shot over 15 hours in the middle of winter and although it was freezing cold, we felt protected from the harsh elements by the dense pine trees. Perfect location for a forest party actually!
