Eighteen Visions

Where did you get your bands name?

from adding stuff and being young. just a name

What do you think sets you apart from other hardcore bands?

i think we're similar to other hardcore bands in that we strive to be different from the rest of the world. but i guess what sets us apart is that we do whetever we feel like doing whether it's in the vain of traditional hardcore or metal or not.

How's the hardcore scene nowadays?

scene's doing good thanks for asking. how have you been? the scene is growing, but that happens to any scene as the music becomes more diverse and new kids see something they can take an interest in.

How do you describe your music?

the music is pretty much hard rock with influence from metal and hardcore. we listen to everything and try to incorporate as much music as possible.

Who are your inspirations in making music?

the beatles, nirvana, failure, queens of the stone age, stone temple pilots, sepultura, alice in chains, etc.

Who are your favorite bands?

my favorite current bands are queens of the stone age, radiohead, and bjork.

What are you doing when you are not with the band?

im at home making buttons, writing music, hanging out, swimming, pulling pranks, etc.

Tell us about the best and worst gigs you ever played?

east LA several years ago. by the end of our set there was the promoter, his brother and their friend. that's it. and it was in the gheeeeeto.

What was the best part of having a band?

not having a regular job.

Where do you mostly tour?

we usually just do full US tours since we leave so far from most scenes. if we're gonna go out we try to go out for at least 5 or 6 weeks to make it worth it and hit a ton of spots.

What do you think of some sell-out or mainstream bands today?

The only ones who are sell outs are people that are created by a board at a major label. then ur selling out ur creativity and artisitc prose as a musician. and it's mostly the execs that are guilty of this because they are ones selling out music to make a dollar. i get psyched for maintream bands, because they are getting to do what

they probably always dreamed of.

What do you think of that poser Avril Lavinge?

she's definately one of those people created by a board, but i think sometimes she gets to do a little bit of what she intended to be. my friend looks like her and they're both hot. i would.

Any last words for your hardcore fans in the Philippines?

i'd love to see the phillipines some day. i'd love to play for any kid that's heard us and would like to see us.
