Thrin Vianale (winded – guitar/vocals)
Winded appear to live by DIY in the punk world, but with a wider range of influences. Who is a favorite band (not associated with "punk") who has influenced your style or approach?
I would have to say the band Low has probably been one of the most consistent inspirations for this project. The vocal melodies that band has come up with constantly amaze me, and the dynamics between Mimi Parker and Alan Sparhawk are so perfect together. Specifically the album Ones and Sixes is a favorite of mine: the emotional range of the songs is so wide there's always something there that fits the moment. Rest in power to Mimi Parker and definitely grateful for this band's existence.
