“We don’t take ourselves too seriously. At our last gig in Birmingham Deev decided to go dressed as the Joker, makeup and all” jokes Bound By Sirens vocalist and guitarist David Dring.
Mansfield based Bound By Sirens were formed in late 2007 after the realisation that their home town was becoming worryingly full of mediocre tribute and metal bands. “It’s nothing too exciting really. We wanted to change the music scene that Mansfield has at the minute” With their influences touching on many different music genres which vary all the way from Metallica to Glassjaw, Bound By Sirens believe that their sound is different to the rest. “Because we have different influences it gives our music a unique sound. No 2 songs sound the same and it keeps things interesting”.
Since forming the band have been working hard to create their debut E.P, which in a time where many teenage bands don’t get past the stages of performing in friends garages is something that the band are incredibly proud of. However not content with just producing an E.P the boys also have their aims set much higher than and by the end of 2009 hope to have produced an album full of quality music. Nevertheless this isn’t a challenge that Bound By Sirens are taking lightly “We don't intend to rush and produce fillers simply to make an album. We want to be sure that every song is different and unique but also incorporates everything we feel needs to be in there”.
Even with their songs being influenced by anything and everything from politics to the French Revolution and the epic Robert De Niro film ‘Raging Bull’ the band are keen to insist that they’re songs aren’t all doom and gloom but instead happy and it’s just “certain things interest us in a way that we decide to incorporate into our music”.
In a day and age when many young bands just starting out can only dream of chart topping success; Bound By Sirens understand that success comes gradually and with time. “The fact is we're all giving 110% and you can’t ask for any more than that. We're not prepared to get in over our head with anything so we’re just going to take it one step at a time”.
Our next assignment following this is to interview a band and then write a 1500 word profile about them. I've set my hopes high and am trying my hardest to find an established band or artist who are willing to let me interview them; however this is once again proving more difficult then I first thought as my chosen subjects are either busy in the studio or their management or just not replying to my emails. But hopefully I will find someone eventually...
