Quick Hit Band Interview: The Terns

The Terns
Interview with the band. Enjoy:

How would you describe your sound? We're a guitar driven rock band with melodic harmonies and arrangements. Our sound is reminiscent of 1960's rock, mixed with elements of more current indie/alternative rock. We try to write music that is honest and moving; music that we, ourselves, would enjoy listening to.

Are there any unique, funny, high jinks, mundane, etc tendencies that the band is known for – during sets, band practice, otherwise? We're constantly making fun ourselves. When we practice we change lyrics, make up alternative silly names to our songs, sing in operatic voices, and sometimes we'll make hilarious sped up ska versions of our songs or any covers we're doing at the time. On a more serious note, we almost always open practice with a long, improvised jam that we collectively write on the spot. It keeps things light and sparks creativity even though most of the time we don't remember what we played. It's kind of a shame because we've done some really cool stuff before, but never got them recorded.

Own Q&A: What would you say to your fans and supporters? A. We love what we do. We love the music we play, and we love to perform on stage. There is truly nothing like being on stage, performing our songs for people to enjoy. So to all those who have supported us over the years, who have come out to a show, who have paid to see us play, we are truly grateful. You keep us excited and motivated to keep this train going. Thank you!
