For starters, what bands were you guys a part of prior to In Night and Nature? How long has the band been around?
Before In Night & Nature we were I’m William Cutting. In Night & Nature has been a band since January of this year, so we’re just getting started.
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?
We collectively all pitch ideas for the music but mainly Justin writes most of the instruments sections along with Royal. Main Themes: To our music is anything from Space, Living Life, Child Abuse. Anything to help people get through the day!
What bands are currently inspiring the music that you’re making?
I would have to say Issues they are a huge influence on us, like how they mix their music with totally different genres other bands have done it but not like they have and it just really inspired us to want to take that road of music.
Was there a particular band/artist or concert that inspired you to start a band?
For me personally I would have to say going to Warped Tour for the first time really pushed me to want to do big things. So no band in particular just love all music no matter the genre.
What do you do to prepare for a show? Any flexing, exercises, etc …
Royal & Cedric do vocal warm ups for some time before shows to assure themselves. Other members typically stretch, play some guitar & bass and practice a little on the tougher parts of songs!
What has been the biggest highlight of the band’s career so far?
I have to say this August tour. We’re really excited to have the chance to go out on the road with some good friends.
If you could tour with any bands, past or present, who would they be and why?
Probably Issues. Their versatility and original sound. They’re doing something very different and have an electric live show.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Yes, check us out on tour down the East Coast. With our friends in Varsity and Forgetting Fame. In the meantime, check out our new single Terraform! Hope to see you all out there. Come say Hi!
