The Year I Disappear Interview

The Year I Disappear

Punk/Emo band from Orlando, FL

Who are the members in your band and what is their role?

Tony- Vocals/Guitar
Jeff- Vocals/Guitar
Tim- Bass/Style
Mark- Drums/Being the band hot guy

How did you meet?

Well, I met Jeff through a good friend of mine named, Kyle Melton. We kind of started this project just the two of us when we recorded our first ep "Bottom Feeder". I actually met Tim on a Florida musician's Facebook page, and I've never been happier to meet someone that way in my life, and we met Mark through our friend Harry (guitarist of Capstan) and Mark has been a phenomenal drummer and I am stoked to have him be a part of this band!

How did you decide on your band name?

I came up with the name one drunken night in Vermont, when I was packing things and planning to move to Florida. I kind of sat on it as a joke for a while and when Jeff and I were trying to come up with a name I tossed it out and he dug it too!

Who are your biggest influences?

Some of my personal biggest? I'd say I base my writing taste on band's like The Starting Line, Transit, Taking Back Sunday, and The Early November.

Who writes the songs?

Both Jeff and I will write a lot of ideas and we tend to send each other what seems like hundreds of ideas recorded poorly on our phone with an acoustic guitar and we pick what we like best, and collectively hash out ideas to solidify the song structures!

What are you working on right now?

We are finalizing the preproduction phase of our new record. We will hopefully be recording sometime next month!

What are your plans for the future?

We want to get ourselves out there. I think our next big purchase is going to be a van so we can start playing out of Orlando more!

What is your favorite venue to play?

Personally, I really love smaller atmospheres. We've played in quite a few places, and maybe my favorite show we played was the final Capstan House Show.

What is your favorite state to play?

Well, the only state we've played so far is Florida, so I guess we love playing here!

What is something your fans don’t know about you?

Hmmm, that's a tough one to give a fun example. I have definitely noticed that most people completely missed the reference to The Office in our song "Inconsistency".

Are you touring in the near future?/On tour right now?

We have no plans currently in motion, but we've been talking of doing something following the release of our new record!

What is your favorite song to play live?

Personally, I love to play our new song "High Road" live! We actually just released a video from us performing it over at Red Lion Audio!

What is your favorite piece of merchandise that you have released?

Probably the "Butters" shirts.

What show can we catch you binge watching?

The Office, always

Who are your guilty pleasure musicians to listen to?

Sometimes you'll catch me getting down heavy to Hillary Duff. Specifically, that song "Come Clean", so good!
