Sweet Penny (Jen): Wow, what a coincidence! "Sweet Penny" and "Sweet Magazine" both have "Sweet" in them! That's pretty weird.
Sweet Mag: Yea, that's pretty neat. Speaking of "sweet", you guy's are so young! When did you start writing songs?
Sweet Penny (Lauren): Well, Jen was writing songs ever since Elementary School. We both got into it mainly in Junior High. Probably starting at about the 5th or 6th grade.
Sweet Mag: How do you guys manage to play all those instruments with only the two of you? It must be very difficult!
Jen: Yea, it's not exactly easy. What we do, is we record the vocals and guitars in first, then I go back and record in the drums. That's the best way that we've thought of so far. Besides getting more members, of course.
Sweet Mag: Where do you get most of your ideas for songs?
Lauren: This is kinda weird to say, but both of us usually get out ideas when we're in the shower. There you are, alone, no one to bother you, so you're mind goes free and you can express you're feelings.
Sweet Mag: You're song "Garbage" shows a lot of anger and sounds like you know what it's like to be treated like garbage from a guy. What expierences do you have of that?
Jen: Well, we don't really have major examples of that. When I was in 6th grade I went out with a guy that sort of just abandonded me when I was trying to get to know him better. I think we were just trying to speak for all of the girls that are hurt in this song in a general sort of way.
Sweet Mag: Well, you guy's have a great out look ahead of you, so good luck!
Sweet Penny: Thank you!
And for your listening pleasure, we have a sneak preview of one of the songs on their album!
