INTERVIEW WITH MICHAEL VAMPIRE “It’s been a roller coaster ride for sure. Starting in 2009, I was never supposed to be a dual vocalist to scream and sing. I was always a backup singer or backup screamer, so when I took over the helm to do both, it was a giant challenge, and it led me down a path to want to get better at both.“
“I’ve just always been around my scene in Arizona starting [with] the first band we were playing bowling alleys and backyard shows and stuff,” frontman Joe Cotela explains from the back of the DED tour bus. Whether able to be seen from outside the scene or not, DED has been around for the last four years, quietly stitching together the album RESENT.
The most beautiful art is always vulnerable. If there is any band that knows anything about this very concept, it is Louisville’s genre-defying quartet, Greyhaven. Coming into their fourth studio release, Keep It Quiet, opens the door to another level of emotional exploration. “I think we just kind of naturally want to push the sound of the band further and further with every record, you know,” responds vocalist Brent Mills.
