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

Steve, Ian, and myself were in a band called Halfway Home. Ryan was in a band called Behind The Silence, and Nick was in Underneath The Willow Tree. We've been a band for about a year and a half.

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

Ian had been writing down a list of band names that he had been coming up with, and Hello, Atlantic was the one we liked the most.

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?

Steve and Ian write the majority of the lyrics, with everyone else chiming in a little bit. They're mostly written about whatever we're going through in life at the time.

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

That's really hard to say. We just play whatever feels right as opposed to pulling inspiration from other artists or trying to sound a certain way. We all listen to so many different bands and artists that it would take forever to even pinpoint which ones we were listening to at the time.

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

I know for me it was Blink-182. I heard Enema of the State when I was a kid and knew that I wanted to be a musician for the rest of my life.

What do you do to prepare for a show? Any flexing, exercises, etc .

We're all usually pretty relaxed before shows. Just hanging out watching the other bands and talking to our friends.

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

We just recently played the main stage of Vans Warped Tour in Massachusetts. That was a dream come true for all of us.

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

Panic At The Disco, Blink-182, Dance Gavin Dance, Neck Deep, Our Last Night, State Champs, Atreyu, I The Mighty, Hell or Highwater.

Is there anything else you would like to add?
