The Feeling Inside... The Heartland
Why this name?
We wanted to find a name could fit to our music, so our drummer Frank Lyu remembered a Rock n Roll band of Bob Rock: ROCKHEAD, "Heartland" is a single from their album "ROCKHEAD", and that album had led Frank into the "Rock n Roll Hall" when he was 10 years old. We wanted to write some music from our hearts, we thought "Heartland" is the very word could express our spirit, so, we picked this name.
Do you play live?
Of course we love to play live, cuz that's real, we like put our music into everyone's heart, and make 'em fly high :-)
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Oh~~ Maybe yes, maybe not. But if your stuff is real, worthy, full of your passion and ideas, I think people would spend their money to get a real art - a real album. I mean, the real completly art is not only the songs, but also the cover design, photograph, lyrics and so on.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Sorry, not yet :-)
