Black To Calm has been around for almost a year off and on. We have played with about 5 other musicians who play bass, keys, synths, etc. but the core is Sean, Phil and George. We are a metal band who bring in influences from everywhere: such as hiphop, punk, jazz and soul, among other things. George and Sean met at an office job and decided to get something started, and Sean old friend Phil stepped up to play drums. We are working on songs that range from avant-psychedelia to crunkmetal to industrial blues core.
Why this name?
It's kinda like one of those lyrics that gets misinterpreted a lot. There's this MC5 song called Back To Comm, and well, it kinda sounds like that.
Do you play live?
not yet, we are still recording demos and fleshing out the band
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Well, it's easier to get your sound to people. Though it has been kind of a backstep sound-quality wise, since mp3s sound like a digitized cassette tape.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yup
