Nick Harris (Luther)
SPB: What was the first concert you attended?
Luther: The first "concert" I ever attended was The Offspring when I was 12 years-old. The first show I ever went was in the basement of McCorristin High School in Trenton, NJ in 2000. None of the bands that played are still bands, but it was awesome: my mom dropped me off, I saw a circle pit for the first time in my life, and a kid broke his nose. Amazing.
Scene Point Blank: Hey, could you guys tell me whom we’re sitting down with. Phil: My name is Phil. I sing and play guitar Greg: I’m Greg. I play bass Scene Point Blank: Firstly, How do you think your set went? Phil: I thought it was awful. [All laugh.] Phil: … Read more

Seeing them live left me with almost the exact impression their EP Siblings and Sevens left … Read more
Christine Atturio (Little Low) SPB: What is your favorite Disney soundtrack? Atturio: Aladdin, hands down. Robin Williams singing "Friend Like Me" is fire! The soundtrack as a whole goes from hopeful to scary to funny and back again, sometimes even sounding like the music from Indiana Jones when he's exploring … Read more
McKinnon (Normal Park) SPB: Your bio references math rock, [my opinion] one of the sillier genre names. Is there a music term you hear often that seems like it could have been phrased better? Tyler: I don’t mind math rock as a genre term because it’s simple and descriptive, plus … Read more
Alex Gilliam (Foolsmate) SPB: What does the term “Midwest emo” mean to you? Gilliam: After getting this question, I immediately asked the other guys in Foolsmate for their input. Though their answers varied drastically, they all touched upon inclusion. Midwest emo has always been about being vulnerable about yourself and … Read more
