John Ferris of A State of Mind joins episode 71 of 3 Questions and a Song. In the last episode Jesse said that everyone needed to check out the video for your song Shattered. I did, and then I watched Nightmare, too. I have to ask who comes up with the concepts for your videos and could you tell us a little about the videographers that you used? What can you tell us about Misanthropik Records? When did you decide you wanted to be a musician and what triggered that? If you were creating a playlist for a long trip, what bands would you be listening to? Play anywhere with anyone, where would it be and with whom? Was music something that kept you alive, or was it something that you continued to do in spite of suffering that it may have caused you? Looking back would you have done anything differently. Asked by Jesse Creatchman in episode 70. About State of Mind State of Mind was formed in 1994. John Ferris… (vocalist/lyricist) and Robbie Grossheim…(rhythm guitar), are the only two founding members remaining. Old school metal, and the desire to entertain and share with the world what we do drives us to create the best music we can. Genre: New Classic metal Band Location Beaumont Texas, United states About the song, Breath Away Breath Away is about those times in our lives where we question our lives and our sanity. “A breath away” from being gone Where to find them: https://youtu.be/5_2YgMf73skhttps://youtu.be/_OdvvD1oWFM

Jason Kozura of Silence Follows and The Crucible Project joins us to talk to us about TCP as the main guest of Episode 471. We also talk to Cate of Suffacate & Chris and Erik of Shattered during a rain delay at last weekend’s Gigaroo. Segment 1 with Jason of The Crucible Project Before we get started with The Crucible Project, tell me what you have been up to with Silence Follows since we last talked. How did The Crucible Project come to fruition, what is it, and why that name? How did the collaborations with First Angel Media, Twist of Fate Productions, and The Metal Edge come about? Segment 2 with Jason of The Crucible Project What upcoming shows does The Crucible Project have for us? How does a band get involved in the shows? What are you goals for the scene as a whole? What is The Crucible Project? Originally forming in 2016 under the “Homegrown Hard Rock Showcase” moniker, The Crucible Project has blossomed into an organization that hosts a recurring monthly concert series, currently based out of The Funhouse at Mr. Smalls, with a focus on Pittsburgh and surrounding area-based rock/metal artists. Along with our partners Twist of Fate Productions, The Metal Edge, and First Angel Media, our goal is to showcase some of the best talent in the rock and metal communities that Pittsburgh has to offer. With an “artist first” approach and attention to detail, we strive to deliver an experience to both artists and fans that is nothing short of memorable. Segment 3 with Cate of Suffacate at Gigaroo How would you describe playing on the Iselin Community Park stage? We discussed the storm, Doppler Affect, alcohol, and her puking out of the backseat of my car for a bit. We talked about what bands should have been playing the rest of the night, but a blown transformer had actually ended the show, unbeknownst to us. The power came back on at approximately 4am. Segment 4 with Chris & Erik of Shattered at Gigaroo I offered the wrestle Chris, who has wrestled for many wrestling companies, and he tells us about it. What does Shattered have coming up? I invited them to do an episode of 3 Questions & a Song, and we learn a little bit about their new song and an upcoming EP. * Special thanks goes out to Tim of Fat Lipp Productions, for not getting to upset at me when I commandeered his sound booth to do a few interviews at Gigaroo.

We discussed the band the Art of Burning Bridges and a former band of some of the members, Fountain Infinity. We debut the song Love/Hate/Obsession on the show. We talk a bit about the song and how it is a “Shattered” version of a love song. We talked about a show 10 and a half years ago 2/23/2007 when Shattered played live in my living room. We have 2 live tracks from that night in our archives. Erik talked about the recording process that they used for the Blackout Session album. He told us that they had already started writing this album before the last album, Rise of Hypocrisy was released, and that they had started recording the album in October 2014. He told us about some upcoming shows that the band and his acoustic project have coming up. Shattered is opening tomorrow, September 30, 2017 for Lacuna Coil at Diesel. Erik gave us some incite into his influences through telling us about his music collection. In segment 2: Erik told us about the acoustic track, Silhouette, off of the upcoming release, too. We talked a bit about country music!?!?!? We moved on to get Erik’s opinion on pay to play. We talked about what is good about our music scene and even something that Erik believes needs fixed about the scene. We talked about the quality of the musicians in the scene and the Rock for Life Concert Series, as well. I brought up the band Creep, who will be writing new music for the first time in years, you can get a digital copy of their last album by listening for a code in Episode 325 of the Pennsylvania Rock Show. We then discussed the different influences that may have affected the sound of the Blackout Sessions album. I then had Erik tell us his favorite song off of the new disc, his overall favorite Shattered Song, & his favorite cover to play. Erik brought up the band Deadman’s Hand that I’m trying to book, now.

The Crowning

We starting things off making reference to Jack Black…I mean why not? Micah, of The Crowning, gave us a look into how he became a musician by telling us about how he avoided rock music because his older brothers liked it. He told us about his music collection. Paula Abdul, Vanilla Ice…and a few other questionable albums haha. He cited Nirvana as a very influential band in his musical journey. He also talked about being influenced by Tool, K0rn, System of the Down, Disturbed, STP, Velvet Revolver, and more. Vertigo, no… not U2 but a stage moment that Micah had in his old band. Micah then goes on to tell us about his band mates and how they met, as well as, an odd story about a bass player that responded to his advertisement looking for band members. We talked about the way they’re releasing songs as singles instead of EPs or Albums and why. You really need to hear why, it makes sense to me and I never thought of it. We also took a moment to talk about a that The Crowning will be hosting in Stroudsburg on October 6th. We then talked about their new song “Hard to Find” which you will hear on the show. Don’t forget to join their mailing list, they’ll send you some physical “stuff” in the mail. Lastly we discussed how the band name came about. (Unless you talk about the conversation about roads and temperature). Don’t forget to check out the Band Blast this weekend in Memorial Park in New Kensington!
