“I grew up with synthesizers and weird, spacey music-hip-hop, R&B, modern rock-that I heard on the radio. That's influenced the way I play music. It's natural for me to go with what I feel. If I didn't let that other stuff out and stuck to a certain format, I would feel like I was missing out on something. I'm just enjoying my ride and being who I am.” IfsWayFeelsPlayCertainStuffEnjoyNaturalHeardModernRocksMissingGrewGrew UpHip HopRadioStuckWho I AmHipsHopsFormatMissing OutSynthesizers Author:Gary Clark, Jr.

“What's holding me up is I'm confused about the nature of the music. Because the modern music doesn't reach me. I mean to say the sound of the modern electric production. A lot of sequencers... synths. That's what people are buying. Because that doesn't reach me, it throws me back to like 1948, but I don't want to be there. Back there, I'm talking about blues records... The roots of rock'n'roll is rhythm and blues and that's like really where I'm at, where I was always at.” PeopleWantMeanSoundTalkingRecordsModernRocksMusic IsRootsProductionsRhythmConfusedBuyingRock N RollElectricRhythm And BluesModern MusicI'm Confused Author:Joe Strummer
“We are a band that stylistically crosses a lot of barriers and generational gaps. The heavier portion of the band, the modern music elements, the visual part of the band appeal to a younger audience. For an older audience, we have chops and great songs that are reminiscent of the things that were great about rock and roll when they enjoyed it. We're the kind of band that can cross those lines.” KindSongLinesAudienceModernRocksBandElementsCrossesEnjoyedAppealsVisualsBarriersGapsPortionsRock And RollModern Music Author:Andy Biersack

“I really tried to push every genre that I could into this record. I wanted every song to have this feel, where as soon as the listener tunes in, they say "That's CoJo, that's Cody right there." That being said, it is a little different. There's Americana, there's Bluegrass, there's some rock, there's some really George Jones-style stuff on it, slow-style Ray Price country elements, there's some modern country, a little of this and a little of that. We tried to push a lot for show versatility, because I grew up with a lot of versatility in my music.” FeelsLittlesSaidDifferentCountryShowsWantedSongStuffRecordsModernRocksStyleGrewElementsGrew UpGenreTunesRaysListenersBluegrassVersatilityAmericanaGeorge Jones Author:Cody Johnson
