For starters, what bands were you guys a part of prior to Blinding Sunrise? How long has the band been around?

We weren't in any other bands before being in Blinding Sunrise.

What’s the origin of that name and have you changed the band’s name before?

We actually chose the name "Time After Dark" at the beginning but then we changed it into Blinding Sunrise. We needed
something powerful and sweet at the same time and so we thought that Blinding Sunrise was a pretty cool name!

Who writes your songs? What are the main themes or topics for most of your songs and do you think these topics will change over time?

Francesca wrote most of them and some are written by Onofrio. Theme may vary in every song, a song can be about
love, the next one about childhood memories. We don't know if topic will change cause you just write what you feel and you never know how you'll feel tomorrow.

What bands are currently inspiring the music that you’re making?

No one in particular is a source of inspiration for us because we really listen to A LOT of stuff , so is really difficoult
find that.

Was there a particular band/artist or concert that inspired you to start a band?

No one in particular for the same reason

What do you do to prepare for a show? Any flexing, exercises, ect …

Just empty our minds and focus on what we have to do , and it works so far!

What has been the biggest highlight of the band’s career so far?

An album premiere by REVOLVER Magazine

If you could tour with any bands, past or present, who would they be and why?
