You know, it's tough to think of a catchy
name for bands like Sonic X. See, Sludge
has "Up and Sludgers" but we don't'
really have the kind of name that opens
itself up for that. After all, "Up
and Epicenter's" just doesn't sound
cool!
An epicenter has to do with an earthquake...
Maybe we can call them "Up and Quakers!"
Hmm... Nah! I'm not sure if that presents
the wrong religious or historic emphasis
on the band's. Plus, it gives me a craving
for Oat Bran.
"Up and Cummers" just sounds
like a porno flick.
So, how about we just be lame and call
this great new band an "Up and Coming"
band? Works for me!
That said, these guys are ANYTHING but
boring and this interview is sensational!
So, lets go to the video tape! Or, text!
Ah, just go read the interview!
Q. It's James and Cassie here with Adam
Troy, lead vocalist with up and coming
Toronto band Sonic X. How are you doing
today?
A. Doin great, I just woke up!!!!
Q. First thing's first, tell us a little
bit about the band. How did L.A. evolve
into the band today and what makes Sonic
X tick?
A. L.A evolved by a lot of hard work
and determination. The band were doin
well as L.A. , but just couldnt catch
that needed break, even after winning
best band at the Toronto Music Awards.
So after careful consideration, they thought
it was time for a change. And after lots
of singer auditons they finally settled
on ME !!!!! With the new line up we wrote
all new songs and started shopping and
showcasing to the labels.
Q. Youre currently working on your second
studio relase. How will that differ, at
all, from your debut?
A. I think the new cd is edgeier than
the last release, better song writing...not
to take anything away from our first disc,
but I like really like the vibe of this
new disc. We did a acoustic tune this
time around which is in the vein of Zeppelin,
Lawrence plays some ass kicking slide
guitar on a song called "Seeds Of
Thunder"which is really cool, "Crawl"
and "Disgrace" will kick head
in and "Wicked" is just that....."Wicked"........And
we purposly made every song on the new
disc sound different ....sometimes you
listen to a cd and you cant tell one song
from the next......You wont get that here!
Its diverse.....
Q. One of our major complaints is that
new rock bands in the current state of
music just don't seen to be having any
fun. Nobody wants to try anything new
and boring crap seems to be running rampart.
Are you guys a return to the fun and high
energy rock 'n' roll band?
A. We are and have always been a very
high energy band.....(No shoe Gazers Here)
Anyone who has seen us over the years
will agree.....Fun.....with out a doubt....we
take the music seriously but not ourselves
Q. Have you guys had occasion to open
for any big acts? If so, has anyone of
note given you guys a thumbs up or thumbs
down for what you do?
A. We plan to get out there with the
release of the new cd.....after the last
disc was put together we went right back
into the studio to work on this new disc....So
no celebrity endorsements here.....we
stand alone.....LOL
Q. By the same token, what band do you
want to open for to show the audience,
"See, there is kick ass new rock
'n' roll!"
A. Any audience that will listen.........
Q. Any road stories you can share?
A. I could write a book!!!!!!
Tequila in Toronto, Jagermister in Key
West, Girls, Girls, Girls in Dayton, and
white sandy beaches in Panama City........."Wine,
Women, and Song"........need I say
more
Q. What does the future hold for Adam
Troy and Sonic X?
A. Finish mixing the new cd, shows, and
back to the studio as we already have
some solid ideas for the next Sonic X
cd.......No rest for the wicked my brother!!!!!!
