By some form of magic, I was able to get an email interview with Under The Influence Of Giants. They are the new hotness with their debut album coming out August 8.
To catch up on UTIOG, go to this post.
UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF GIANTS Email Interview
Answered by Aaron Bruno, lead singer
MG: With your debut album coming out August 8, how does it feel to be almost there?
UTIOG: It is pretty scary, but at the same time, a huge relief! its like getting someone an amazing christmas present but having to wait for two months to give it to them. well, this year, christmas is coming early, august 8!
MG: What are your favorite tracks on the upcoming album?
UTIOG: That changes all of the time. right now, i would have to say “stay illogical”, “got nothing”, and “meaningless love”. stay illogical is the closest we have come to a beatles/electric light orchestra kind of sound, it was not intentional but those are two of my favorite bands so i guess thats why. “got nothing” has that gangster grove in the chorus, it reminds me of nwa and prince when i was a young lad. “meaningless love” paints a unique picture of an epic story of love, doubt, and trust. plus the end makes me want to hate-fuck someone, ya know?
MG: I saw that you have ringtones available, do you guys use your own ringers?
UTIOG: No way! we here those songs enough, that would be a little obsessive, dont you think?
MG: 26,000 friends and growing on myspace, how does it feel to be that loved?
UTIOG: Actually, it is 30,000 as of two days ago, and it feels great, but not even close to the numbers that we are aspiring for.
MG: Your music to me has heavy influences of classic rock with that funky feel. What in your opinion would be the greatest vinyl to own?(Or what is your prized vinyl possession? – Mine in The Doors Greatest hits.)
UTIOG: We have this wine tasting record that is amazing for samples, i think that drew found it a year ago. i think that all of the old records sound good on vinyl, i have a pretty good size hip hop collection, from 2 live crew to biz markie, i could go on for days!
