For starters, what bands were you guys a part of prior to IOFS? How long has the band been around?
All members cycled through various local groups. From hardcore to psychedelic, we’ve kinda played in them all. This band has existed for a little over two years now, with the addition of a bass player one year ago.
What’s the origin of that name and have you changed the band’s name before?
The name comes from the idea that we all have this little creative bubble inside the infinite noise around us. Then we played with the idea of infinite space and how a single mind could exist in the power of infinity. So when we stylized it we took the idea of the possessive (our) to break up infinite, making our name In Our Finite Space.
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 all write the songs. Usually they come out of a jam session and we find a riff or a passage that we really like and can groove on and use that as the scaffold to build around. Other times, a member will have a nifty part they came up with on their own and we build around that.
What bands are currently inspiring the music that you’re making?
Since all the members come from such diverse musical backgrounds, it’s really all over the place. Listening to our finished CD, the influence of other prog-instrumental bands should be apparent (God is an Astronaut, Russian Circles, Giraffes?Giraffes!, Chon). Each member brings they own influence from hardcore to hip-hop.
Was there a particular band/artist or concert that inspired you to start a band?
Corey and Dylan started jamming together and this just kinda happened.
What do you do to prepare for a show? Any flexing, exercises, ect …
We like to jam our set before we play. There are times when we play out of town and we still make time to run the set… It makes for long days sometimes.
What has been the biggest highlight of the band’s career so far?
Recording our first full length album.
If you could tour with any bands, past or present, who would they be and why?
We would play with anyone who was cool and put on a good set!
Is there anything else you would like to add?
We’re really proud of the disk we’ve put together and we think we have something worthy of people’s time.
