For a lot of the songs Brian came up with lyrics with an ocean theme, so Big Blue seemed like a good fit.

We're starting to gig as much as we can around the Toronto and Hamilton areas in Ontario Canada, since that's our home base. Hamilton is always more rowdy, it's a real Rock and Roll town. We definately like playing live more than sitting in a rehearsal or recording room.

Even before MP3's took off it still wasn't that easy to make any real waves in the music biz without a lot of hard work (and some promotional dollars), so not a whole lot has changed i.e. you still need to work yer ass off. Right now the internet is a big soup of information overload. Seems recorded music is heading towards free, like it is on the radio, the internet is becoming the new radio.

It depends on the terms of the contract, the specific company and their management, right now we're 100% unknown but free. Either way we need to play live more to develop an audience and release a few more tracks on our own before that's even an issue.

Back in November 2007 we started getting serious about writing songs, we really put a lot of effort into songs that aren't just a boost of our own ego's... we're aiming beyond that space. We've got about 20 songs written, that's not including all the ideas we junked along the way.

We both like a lot of different music, but the common ground seems to be Lenny Kravitz, and Led Zeppelin, with a bit of Chris Cornell, Soundgarden, Black Sabbath, and Foo Fighters. We even do a Neil Young cover of Damage Done which tended to complement and influence our own acoustic style. But we don't stop there, Bob Marley, Radiohead... we listen to all kinds of stuff.

A nice beach, the ocean.

Gibson acoustics, the big body of the Jumbo fit's Brian's voice as he sings louder like a Rocker. The dynamics don't have too much to do with equipment, it's a result of us trying to be as good as we can as musicians.
