Quick Hit Band Interview: Flames of Durga

Flames of Durga at Wild Riot Summer Sessions

Interview with the band. Enjoy:

What's the story behind how your band started? As twin sisters, and best friends, we wrote songs together growing up as a means to express ourselves in this crazy human experience. We always wanted to start a band then were faced with death when surviving a brutal car crash. It was a wake-up call and catalyst for starting "Flames Of Durga" and a big reminder of how temporary life is.

For the band and its future, how would you define success? As far as success is concerned it's based on our happiness and fulfillment, BUT touring the world is a big one for us and we cannot wait! The smaller successes include the DIY tours we've done that's given us a thicker skin, more perspective and unforgettable epic times. Our first tour was 14 shows in 15 days up the west coast which kicked our asses and yet we couldn't get enough. We really thrive on the road. Last, but not least, we gauge our success on our band's constant evolution. We never wanna stop growing.

Own thoughts: What inspires our songwriting is the way we see and experience the world. That being said we love to call out ignorance and corruption of society in a way that helps spread awareness and empowerment.
