So your debut record is about to go live in just over a week, what are your feelings right now?
We are both excited and scared. We have put so much hard work and passion into the record, but I guess you never know how people will like it. That is the crazy thing about being an artist.

“Live Like We’re Alive� is the band’s first release with Flicker, but you guys self-released an EP, From The Inside Looking In, early last year. How would you contrast the music and motivations between these releases?
The EP was written at a different place in our lives. The songs were more just forms of free thought musically and lyrically. I would say that we thought the new record out more and prepared a great deal more than we did with the EP.

Here are some albums that will be in stores tomorrow.

New Found Glory - Coming Home
Nevertheless - Live Like We’re Alive
Static Age - Blank Screens
Matt Wertz - Everything In Between
Fear Before The March Of Flames - The Always Open Mouth
Silverstein - Discovering The Waterfront: Special Edition CD/DVD

Envy On The Coast - Envy On The Coast
Heavy Heavy Low Low - Everything’s Watched, Everyone’s Watching
Valencia - This Could Be A Possibility (Re-Release)

These days bands live and die by the sticker genre. If you’re pegged as death metal, the emo kids won’t touch you. Likewise, the indie bands are ridiculed for lack of focus. So in this time of 10 cent labels and genre stereotypes what does it mean to be a Christian band? Only Christian fans will listen to you? I certainly hope not.

You can find three new featured bands including New Found Glory, The Static Age, and Matt Wertz up on the main page. We are also streaming Nevertheless’s new album, Live Like We’re Alive, all this week so be sure to give that a listen.
