Lev: A little bit of a throwback but I’m a big Avenged Sevenfold fan. What bands are currently inspiring the music that you’re making?īilly: There are a few bands all of us listen to like like Northlane, Blessthefall and Fit for a king, but personally I listen to a lot of deathcore bands like Whitechapel and Rings of Saturn. ![]() Zach: Because we write based about our own lives and experiences, as we move forward and our lives changes, I think our music will too. Each song on our EP “For What I’m Worth” generally symbolizes the coming-to-peace with an inner struggle. We really tried to write based on our personal experiences that we feel people can relate to. Even though we come from two very different backgrounds musically, the process was still very comfortable. Zach pays a lot of attention to little things like phrasing, and how the lyrics correspond to what’s going on musically in the song. ![]() Lyrically and vocally the songs are written by myself and Billy about 50/50.īilly: Writing the lyrics with someone else was new to me, but really insightful. I then work very closely with Lev and Sam individually so that they both really put their own style and touch into each song. Once I have the structure down, I'll send it to the guys. Zach: Typically I will write out an idea for a song including guitar, bass and an idea for drums. Who writes your songs? What are the main themes or topics for most of your songs and do you think these topics will change over time? I know that in the song…that line means something totally different, but that’s what it means to me. To me that line meant be who you are, no need to hide anything and be someone you're not. Lev: I was listening to the song “Shadow Moses” by Bring Me the Horizon and the line “Secrets Don’t Sleep…” stuck out to me. What’s the origin of that name and have you changed the band’s name before? So this is our first band for both of us. It wasn't until we met up with Zach and Lev that we actually had the opportunity to make or join a band. Zach: Prior to Secrets Don't Sleep, Lev and I played in a band together when we were younger, and I've been playing in and out of various bands since I was 16.īilly: Sam and I struggled for years trying to find people as dedicated as we were to make music. With many influences spanning from ambient Indie music to deathcore, Secrets Don't Sleep is a different take on metalcore wi th carefully crafted lyrics from the heart, big sing along hooks and hard and heavy riffs.įor starters, what bands were you guys a part of prior to Secrets Don't Sleep? How long has the band been around?
