Even In Death "My Enemy Will Fear Me" CD Release Party October 4th 2013 Live at Bonds 007 Rock Bar

I had the privilege, & honor to interview this amazing, talented young artist, Even In Death on October 4, 2013. I personally am very opened to new, and growing young artist who are in the music business. Apart of me always hesitates on young musicians because they are still developing their talent. These guys, NO WAY! THEY BLEW ME AWAY! Hearing them live and listened to their album (Prior to the show), these guys have what it takes! I was amazed on how much energy the room had and how many people came out. Young and Old alike, they HAVE a following. 

The Band consist of: 
Singer: Spencer Atchison, 21


Guitarist( Lead):Danny Triano, 18

Guitarist(Rhythm): Joshua Calderon, 20

Bass Guitarist: Mark Perez,15

Drummer: Ryan Valdez, 18
I got to ask a few questions after their set was done, which I kind of felt bad because I realized they JUST got done playing and wanted to make sure they were okay to even do it at that moment, but they were cool talking to me after the set. 

Kat: "Who influenced you guys to be "rock" musicians?" 

Ryan: When I was 12 years old, listening to Jason West, I never had lessons, and just taught myself. 

Mark: I've been playing piano for 4 years, played guitar at age 6, listened to Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Ron Jarzombek, I just Love music!

Spencer: Ozzy Osborne & Sevendust. At 7 years old I did many competitions. 

Danny: at 5 years old, I was FORCED to play the violin. I went to guitar instead (no lessons) of sports and inspirations would be slipknot and Lamb Of God. 

Kat: "Why did you guys chose music over anything else?"

Mark: Music is more fun.
Ryan: Love it! When your down, its a picker upper.
Spencer: Happier, connected with other people

Kat: "Do you guys have a hobby that people might think is weird?" 

Mark: an hour a day i draw on my wall.

Kat: "What kind(s) of sacrifices have ya'll made to get where you are now?"

Spencer: Gas! and hanging out with friends.
Danny: I had to leave for a year to finish school.
Ryan: Playing sports

Kat: "How Long have you guys been playing together?"

Even In Death: 4-5 months
Kat: What!? Impressive! Ya'll play like PRO'S!

Kat: "What drew you guys together?" 

Even In Death: The First Audition of Spencer and Mark from his sports injury. We just flowed together very well.


Kat: "Where do you guys draw your inspirations for your songs (originals)?"

Even In Death: Practicing, trying new things, its all in the head, bringing a different of variety of sounds.


Kat: "Who writes the songs?" 

Even In Death: Everyone, Spencer comes up with the lyrics and the group plays along with the words.
Kat: Excellent! 

Kat: "Any REGRETS choosing this path?"

Even In Death: No REGRETS!



Kat: "Who came up with the Title 'My Enemy Will Fear Me' is there an importance to this?"

Even In Death: It just came natural, It was just a perfect title.


Kat: "Later down the line, do you guys plan on changing the genre(i.e. rock-rock pop)?"

Even In Death: NO! because sound is different and would regret to go to that level.


Kat: "What do you guys classify yourself in what genre?"

Spencer: Just, ROCK, Straight up ROCK.

Kat: "Do you believe bands should have live tracks in their live performances?" "Is that music?"

Spencer : Effects on a CD are okay, some bands have the exceptions, like Nine Inch Nails. Less is More.

Ryan: I don't think its music.
(concluded interview)

     I personally love their sound and can't really find anything wrong with these guys. They seem very laid back, LOVE what they do, and play some AWESOME tunes that will make your ears ring for the RIGHT REASONS! They do, however do covers from old school rock/thrash/metal/nu metal/rock. (My Favorite cover that I heard was Billy Idol's Rebel Yeah with their OWN flavor to it, ITS JUST AWESOME!) A few reasons why they changed the name was because other past members that were in the band were known as Night Train, and as well known as a cover band. NOW, Even In Death is the name which is NOW and WILL BE FOREVER, NAMED: EVEN IN DEATH!!!!!!!!!!!!

    *On another note, this show had a special add to it which was for their single, "Freeze" video recorded by Rick Rodriguez(Center Stage Productions) and David Murray(San Antonio's Rock & Roller's For Our Country Motorsports). Check out their pages and ASAP, They WILL have the video out!
