A band member traces how Sean's hardcore background and John's classical training shaped their sound across albums, moving from pop-punk through mainstream rock into hard rock as the members matured and their influences merged.
What level was the band at at that time? I mean, you know, they were just starting. So like, you know, I think sonically even, you know, Sean came from a hardcore— I mean, a hardcore band, screamo band. John was like, like classically trained in vocals and sang in chorus. And so like, as we all came together, it— what was unique is everyone's background came, and then it kind of— we went through this what became Lansdowne record to record where it was this pop punk thing into this, you know, hey, we're going to kind of go a little more mainstream into we're a rock band into we're a hard rock band into, you know, is this evolution that I think that naturally happened once you put all of us together and we started getting older too.
