Metal Anarchy’s New Music Showcase: Exclusive Q&A With Gonebad

Time for the next edition of Metal Anarchy’s “new music showcase,” the feature where I introduce you to bands that readers of this site may find interesting. This time I have an exclusive Q&A with Gonebad.

METAL ANARCHY: Tell me a little about your band:

GONEBAD: The band was originally conceived 13.years ago but I’m currently operating as a solo artist. The music is built on guitar riffs and vocal melodies that have a some degree of complexity in them. It’s alternative rock or metal of some sort but I hope one day I could come up with a bit more specific label for it.

METAL ANARCHY: Who are your main influences?

GONEBAD: Brent Hinds, Spencer Chamberlain, Cameron Heacock, and Kurt Cobain probably. I think the influences affect subconsciously for the most part, so it’s not that easy to say.

METAL ANARCHY: What is your latest release and why should readers of this site check it out?

GONEBAD: A single release, ‘Cold Enough’. If you’re into rock music and melodies and consider music a holistic experience and a form of art rather than just a quick fix for boredom, it’s worth investigating.

METAL ANARCHY: What can people expect when they go to your live shows?

GONEBAD: Self-expression, energy, focus and emotion.

METAL ANARCHY: Where do you see your band heading in 5 years?

GONEBAD: In that amount of time I’ve been able to release every song I have in mind right now. I’m either going to be broke and in debt or doing well enough to be able to keep putting out music. Whatever happens, I’ll look back grateful for the opportunity I had to prove my abilities as a musician and an artist.
