What inspired you to write Not Afraid,and how does it
\nreflect your artistic vision as a band?<\/p>\n
A lot of Songs that I write, are there for giving myself hope
\nand strength. When I\u2019m going through hard times, I always
\ntry to focus on the good things. So I\u2019m writing, that\u2019s
\nsomething I always can do.<\/p>\n
Can you tell us about the creative process behind the music
\nvideo for Not Afraid?<\/p>\n
How did you conceptualize and
\nexecute the visuals?<\/p>\n
For Not Afraid we didn\u2019t had a big budget and also not
\nmuch time for shooting the Video. So we decided that we
\nmake it on one evening in our rehearsal room. We put some
\nblack fabric to the walls and try to make a cool mood with
\nlights and stuff. And then we just started filming. And as
\nmost of our videos Ben was cutting and grading the video.<\/p>\n
How do you think Not Afraid differs from previous singles,
\nand what can fans expect from your upcoming album
\nRodeo?<\/p>\n
Just like our previous single Rodeo, Not Afraid is driving a
\nbid harder than our songs on our last album Pokerface. With
\nour new album Rodeo, I think our fans can expect big
\nchorus lines and heavy riffs and pure energy.<\/p>\n
You’ve mentioned wanting to change the world with your
\nmusic. What specific messages or themes do you hope to
\nconvey through your lyrics in Rodeo?<\/p>\n
There is so much envy and hatred in the world and we
\nfocus far too much on what we don’t have instead of what
\nwe do have. If we all learn to look more at our own needs
\nand understand that we are not victims of our lives, but that
\nwe can take the reins into our own hands, then we follow
\nour hearts and not hate. So take care of yourself and follow
\nyour dreams so that you can make the world a better place.<\/p>\n
How has your sound evolved since your last release, and
\nwhat new elements can listeners expect from “Not Afraid
\nand the rest of Rodeo?<\/p>\n
I would say that Rodeo is heavier than Pokerface and much
\nmore rough. We used less electronic elements and the
\nsongs are in a lower tune so they fit better to my voice. We
\nwanted to bring more of our live energy to the record.<\/p>\n
As a band, how do you collaborate on songwriting and
\narranging? What roles do each member play in crafting the
\nmusic?<\/p>\n
The whole Band is in the writing process involved, we\u2019re
\nalways writing together.<\/p>\n
How has the reception been to “Not Afraid” so far, and what
\nare your expectations for the single’s impact on fans and
\nnew listeners alike?<\/p>\n
Our fans like Not Afraid and they are looking forward to
\nseeing us play it live. We are really proud of our new album
\nand of course we hope our fans and new listeners love our
\nmusic as much as we do. We are really exited about how
\nfans will like our next single \u201eBurn\u201c.<\/p>\n
You’ve signed with Reaper Entertainment for ‘Rodeo.’ Can
\nyou share any insights into working with this label and how it
\nhas influenced your creative process?<\/p>\n
First of all, we want to say, that we are really grateful
\nabout signing with Reaper. It was the right moment
\nfor us to expand our team and reaper made it
\npossible to wrap it all up and get our music in the
\nstores all over the globe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
