What's up, guys? Tatiana hanging out here with A Day to Remember. How are you guys? A Day to Remember: Hello. How are you? Hello.
So, who are you? Who is who have the pleasure of sitting next to?
I'm Jeremy, and I sing.
And I'm Josh and I play bass.
So, who did you guys look up to musically growing up?
Well, we we have a lot of different influences. Like on the hardcore side of things, I was listening to a lot of Seven Star and Bury Your Dead. And then on the pop punk side, a lot of MXPX, Millencolin, stuff like that.
On the pop side, probably New Found Glory. Just Blink stuff like that. And then, uh, on the heavier side bands like Unbroken Wings and a bunch of the stuff he just named. And yeah, that was pretty much it. We all were pretty much from the same area, so we all listened to a lot of the same stuff.
That's been quite the busy band. Um, you're actually about to do Warp Tour. Is that something that you guys are really looking forward to?
Yeah, I mean, this is going to be our third time doing Warp Tour, like the whole tour. So, we're really excited. It's going to be a lot of fun and it's weird. Like, there's not that many older bands that we used to listen to on the tour this year. There's a few of them. But for the majority, like, it's the bands that we've been touring with for the last five years that are like mainly on this tour. So, it's weird. Like, we're becoming the older people.
I saw fans literally all up and down Sunset Boulevard. Did you guys get a chance to drive by and see all your fans?
Actually, we did. Yes. We went shopping a little bit ago and we were driving around in a Mini Cooper. Almost ran over a few. And yeah, a few kids were like trying to bang on the windows and stuff. So, we saw them. It was crazy.
Are there any crazy tour stories? You said your fans kind of come up to you and they're like, why don't you remember me? Is there anything a crazy fan has gotten your name tattooed on them or anything that's kind of made you be like, whoa.
There's been a few times he's asked us to sign their arms or their chest or something. They're like, like why do you just want us to sign? Like, no, I'm going to the tattoo shop right after. I'm like, I don't do it. I'm not signing your chest.
Really? Is that a little flattering, though? I mean, I know it's a little
I think it's creepy personally. I've seen people get faces of other people. I think that's weird.
Yeah, I'd actually don't mind that. Like portraits, I think it's cool. But like the only reason I would say it's not flattering is I have terrible handwriting.
Does anybody have your face tattooed on them?
Not that I've seen. So.
We just saw there's a band that plays before us. They're called Greenish Horizon. And uh, Salt Lake City a kid got their lead singer tattooed to his hand.
Wow.
Picture right there. There's a picture over there.
Oh, we have a visual. That's forever. Tattoo on his hand. That's on his hand forever. Is there a city that you guys just love going to? Anywhere in the whole world. Where is the one place when you guys find out you're going, you're super amp to be there?
I'm always pretty excited when I hear that we're going to Ca or not California. I mean, I love California, but when I hear that we're going there, it's Australia. Cuz Australia is awesome.
So if you guys could give advice to somebody coming up in a band, they want to be in your shoes. What is the one thing that you would say to them to get to where you are today?
You got to be doing it for the right reasons. You can't don't don't start playing music because you want to be in a big band. Don't play music for any other reason than you absolutely love playing music. You know, just play music and, you know, if you believe in yourself, I think you can do anything.
Hey, this is Jeremy.
And this is Josh.
