(schwa)ray is a 4-piece modern rock band from Jacksonville, Florida. Our music can be described as modern rock, but we like to think of ourselves as a statistical anomaly in that our music varies from song to song, taking reference from almost every genre of music that moves us - be it rock, reggae, jazz, hardcore, emo, indie or punk rock - and adding our own twist to each song. We also experiment with time signature by venturing into varying rhythmic realms
Why this name?
We were all on a 20 day ether binge.
Do you play live?
(schwa)ray plays out and loves playing out more than anything in this world.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It will be the end of major label deals. Bands will be forced to make real music at reasonable cost. Bands will be forced to perform live and buy smaller houses.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Depends on the deal. Music is more important than money. Music is your soul, if you don't own your soul you own nothing.
Your influences?
Everything from Jawbox to Sunny Day Real Estate to Death Metal.
Favorite spot?
I don't know 'bout the rest of the band...I love D.C. in the snow. I'm not a big fan of the people in the city...but the city has something about it that just feels right.
Equipment used:
Cheap guitars, bangin drums and loud amps
