Fear Before The March of Flames Interview

TheBeeps own Mike Willaford had the chance to talk to Adam of Fear Before the March of Flames about what has been going on and what might be coming later on down the road. Mike hit up Adam on their way to the Portland, Oregon show and had a little chat.

Adam: "Hello"

Mike: "Adam Hey this is Mike from the Beep.Net calling for the interview. How are you doing"

Adam: "Doing good just driving."

Mike: "Oh, I didnt mean to call you wile you were driving..."

Adam: "No Im not driving, just sitting in the van."

Mike: awkward silence because Mike is nervous "Oh, ok, well I guess lets just kick this right off... I heard you guys are from Aurora , CO - whats the scene like up there in Aurora"

Adam: "Well, in Aurora there really is no scene, but as far as Denver goes its awesome! And its getting a lot better I think um, like, a lot more kids will come out to our shows and because of that kids who havent really heard of other bands in the scene are going to other shows. I think its actually getting better every day."

Mike: "Awesome. Is the band name really in reference to a newspaper headline Because in your last song it says ...waiting in line for hell with you... and a lot of references to marching into the flames."

Adam: "No, it really is a newspaper headline."

Mike: "How was playing with Norma Jean"

Adam: "Awesome, those guys are a totally cool band. Just a blast. Some of the biggest shows we have ever played as a band, which is crazy. We just like to play with those guys and hanging out with those guys. They are just totally, totally amazing guys, so it was a really good time."

Mike: I kinda have a different question. Where do you see yourselves in 10 years"

disconnected

Adam: "Hey I think we got cut off..."

Mike: "Yea I think we did too, its ok though."

Adam: "What was your last question Where do we see ourselves..."

Mike: "In 10 years..."

Adam: "6 years"

Mike: "10 years.."

Adam: "It would be great if we were still doing this band, but who knows, you know Its really hard to say professionally where we might be. Maybe still making music or playing guitar: I would like to buy a boat, and be a shark fisherman. I wouldnt want to actually eat the sharks or kill them. I would just want to hangout with them for awhile."

Mike: laughs "Awesome."

Adam: "If Im not making music or in this band I would like to fish for sharks, and hangout with sharks."

Mike: "Where do you see the hardcore scene headed"

Adam: "Well thats hard to say, um, like its so different where ever you go. Theres hardcore now that is main-mainstram ****** pop-punk bands that scream and that dont know much about hardcore, you know There are bands that used to be hardcore, but are now mainstream hardcore. Then theres bands that think they are hardcore bands, and bands that get called hardcore but dont want to be called hardcore. And theres bands that get called hardcore but arent hardcore at all. Its really, really hard to say, I would like to say I know where its but I couldnt really tell you."

Mike: "Yea, I know what you mean. In track 3 you said..."

disconnected

Adam: "Hey man is that your phone or my phone"

Mike: "I dont know whos phone that is.. do you have a bad signal"

Adam: "No man, Im in service."

Mike: "Ok, Ill go outside and see if that helps goes outside. Lets see if this is better. In track 3 you say, "the birds think Im one of their own, the birds thank God to be alive." Is there any Christian or religious influences involved

Adam: "Its a song that Dave wrote, and its kinda like a conversation with the devil." silence

Mike: "Hello, you still there"

Adam: "Yea, its just a song about having a conversation with the devil. Dont think we are a satanic band or anything..."

Mike: "No, no, no, not at all. There are rumors that you guys are a Christian band because you guys played at Cornerstone and did some touring with Dead Poetic and Norma Jean."

Adam: "We never played Cornerstone."

Mike: "Never played Cornerstone."

Adam: "No."

Mike: "A few more questions here. Whats the bands favorite food on tour"

Adam: "Favorite food It kinda varies for each member but we are all fans Chilis. We just ate there an hour ago. They have black bean burger that I really enjoy. The waitress wasnt so good today, she put bleu cheese all over my ****. It made me real mad. Sometimes we like to find a good Mediterranean place to eat. Have you ever been to Perkins"

Mike: "Yea.. Perkins is really good"

Adam: "Yea.. They have a good selection there.."

Mike: "Whats the funniest thing that has happened so far on tour"

Adam: Funniest thing that has happened on tour" thinking Let me think, talking to other people - Lots of funny stuff happened, but uh... One time we were at a strip club, we dont always go to strip clubs but it was kind of a crazy night, and Mike our bass man got called up on stage and he rode around stage by a stripper. That was pretty funny.

Mike: laughing "Thats hilarious. Thats all we have for you. Thanks for doing the interview. Be sure to check out TheBeep.Net"

Adam: "Definitely. Thank you."
