Best of Winter

» go to the music page for more
HI EVERYONE, Best of Winter has a Energetic, Indie, Pop, Emo thing going, but since none of us has any formal musical training or background, we can't figure it out, but we're young, so eventually we'll get it. After spending over a year of writing, practicing, and doing a show whenever we saw three or more people gathered together, we eventually progressed to larger towns and crowds. Recently we've played a couple shows in St. Louis and are booked for several more. "Only In The Long Run", a six song CD was released in Oct. 2003 and we will released a all new 10 song CD in late May, 2004. Listen and let us know if we are heading in the right direction. Thanks
Why this name?
Corey and Mason meet in May 2002 and began playing and writing music together. In November, after six months of being unable to form a band, due to lack of understanding of their music or the commitment to try, by any recruit, Jarrod joined. The three made a pact to work long and hard and even though they're unknown at the beginning of November, by the end of March, they were going to be the best around. Thus, The Best of Winter. Justin became a member in Feb. 2003.
Do you play live?
Since July, 2003, We probably averaged 5 Live shows per month, 6 or 7 the last 3 months. Mostly IL + MO, and we love every minute. Special Moments, yes, 1st time we heard one of our songs on the radio and 1st time we played in St. Louis.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It has gone from 100s of selections in a music store, to 1000s of selections on the Net.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
In a heart beat!
Your influences?
Thursday, Taking Back Sunday, Brand New, Saves The Day, Park, Green Day, Blink 182, Name Taken, Thrice, and thats in no particular order. In comparison to clashing guitars, ours are blending with a rythem that takes you up and down, over and over.
Favorite spot?
Two favorites, Jared's basement, where we write and rehearse, and standing on a stage looking at the crowd.
Equipment used:
Lead and Rythem guitars, Bass and Mapex Drums, with the addition of keyboards, in the near future.
