For starters, what bands were you guys a part of prior to Fabricate? How long has the band been around?
Some of us were a part of prior bands before the birth of Fabricate. Kevin Vorhees was in an Ohio band called Hitman for HIre. Christian Assunto was in a band in Venezuela, Pain Dose. Zach and Jezer played with other bands. However, we consider Fabricate as our first serious band.
What’s the origin of that name and have you changed the band’s name before?
Surprisingly, Fabricate was supposed to be a placeholder. However, we kinda rolled with it. We felt it was easy to spell and easy to remember.
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?
Our writing process is interesting. You can probably say we all have hands in the cookie jar. Our best writings happen while sitting in the same room. It can come from a drum beat or a tasty guitar riff. Never know when lightning will strike. The topics we write about depend on our mood of the day. We like to keep the balance of Society issues and inner personal problems. We feel writing about the same topics can get old pretty fast.
What bands are currently inspiring the music that you’re making?
Too Many to count. The ones that come to mind are Gojira, Korn, Mastodon, Lamb of God, and Cane Hill.
Was there a particular band/artist or concert that inspired you to start a band?
Kevin Vorhees- I would say seeing a video of Korn playing Woodstock 1999
Zach Loftin- Hearing Lamb of God
Christian Assunto- Falling in love with the drums in Deftones
Jezer Medina- Probably hearing Linkin Park as a kid.
What do you do to prepare for a show? Any flexing, exercises, ect …
We mostly Chill. Zach normally goes to the vehicle to warm up his voice. Kevin is stretching like he is about to wrestle someone. He is always afraid of throwing his back out. It's pretty funny.
What has been the biggest highlight of the band’s career so far?
Our biggest highlight so far was being open for DROPOUT KiNGS. They were so amazing. Most chill dudes you could ever meet.
If you could tour with any bands, past or present, who would they be and why?
It would be a dream come true to pay with Cane Hill, Korn, Gojira, Lamb of God, Deftones, and Mastodon. The reason being we look up to these bands. They inspired us. It would be super cool to be able to be back stage with these bands just hanging out chilling.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
We are super appreciate of everyone's response so far with our album. We hope we gain new fans that want to see us in their town. If you want to book us. Reach out on Facebook or Instagram.
