In this episode, I hang out with Nick Giosa and Cole Gardiner of the band Blemish. Blemish is a metal band with distinct riffs, scorching vocals, primal screams, and grooves as if it was a goblin under the bridge. Listen to learn more about Nick's influences from soundtracks by Danny Elfman and Tim burton films. A dark edge, a silent tone, and a sense of the macabre lingers in the world Nick creates his music from. Find out his songwriting process and his favorite scent of candle. Cole is laid back, easy going, and fun, but behind the mic and on the bass, the goblin comes out! Storm patterns and weather systems inspire his creativity, especially tornados. Learning to scream as an actor in a haunted house for 8 hours a day enabled him to use it in his music. From being in a band they've learned it's okay to say no to a show and the songs you think aren't your best work end up being the popular ones. Keep your head up, know its going to be okay, and choose your friends wisely. Influences like The Beatles, Black Sabbath, Blink 182, Type 0 Negative, Nine Inch Nails, The Cure, Pantera, Deftones, City Morgue, and Helmet. Movie influences like Trainspotting, Tommy Boy, Naked Gun, Fight Club, Evil Dead, Hereditary, and Saw. Enjoy!
