Wild Dawn Interview

1.Can you give us an update on what is going on with the band these days?

We went on the road with great bands such as Electric Mary, Girlschool.. We played at the Hellfest. It was pretty fucking cool. And to top it all, the band has just released his second album "Pay Your Dues".

2.How would you describe the musical sound of the new album and alos how does it differ from past recordings?

"Pay Your Dues" is more "metal", more mature than the first which was more spontaneous and youthful. This probably comes from the fact that our style has evolved but also because the recording method was not the same.

We are really satisfied

3.What are some of the lyrical topics and subjects the new release explores?

After our tour with Electric Mary, we changed management. We were down in the dumps, but after a few weeks, we thought that we should not stop there and we started writing the album.

The topics are varied, festive, darker, but say that our shit inspired us well !

4.What is the meaning and inspiration behind the name Wild Dawn/

Nothing more than 
"hey, cool name ?" 
"cool name.." 
"ok, done"

But because the question comes up regularly, say it inspires youth, enthusiasm and wildness !

5.What are some of the best shows that the band has played over the years and also how would you describe your stage performance?

Many gigs excites me but if i have to pick one of them, i'll say that Hellfest openair was absolutely awesome. Big crowd, big sound, big lights... We was impressed but just before hitting the stage, we all thought "Let's kick some ass".

Good memories and pretty big show.

6.Do you have any touring or show plans for the future?

We would love to play in Germany, it will also be very soon.

We also plan some things in canada

In general, we will try to export the band and play as more as possible.

7.On a worldwide level how has the feedback been to your music by fans of metal and rock/

I don't know, the feedback from other bands are good but I admit that I am not interested by that.

8.Are there any other musical projects besides this band?

I don't think, unless you've been hiding things from me!

9.What direction do you see your music heading into on future releases?

I really can't determine at this. I think we're refining our sound and our style. I think we found ourselves. Now we have to write. We'll see

10.What are some bands or musical styles that have influenced your music and also what are you listening to nowadays?

Our influences are quite varied. Romain and Morgan listen much AC / DC while Alex is very focused on the 70's. Personally, I am a huge fan of Metallica and Gojira but I also love stoner bands such as Clutch, Spiritual Beggars, Corrosion of Conformity, Vista Chino ...

11.Outside of music what are some of your interests?

Sleep and catch up on sleep I'm missing because of Wild Dawn...

12.Any final words or thoughts before we wrap up this interview?

Excuse my english !

Thank you all for your support to the METAL!

Greg.
