How did you come up with your band name?

Brad:
Although we are not a Christian band we got it from the Bible,
In the last chapter, “Revelations” talks about how we as humans have destroyed
our earth which led God to send down horsemen to destroy it so he can rebuild it into the world that we live in today. That’s our way of saying that we as humans are
repeating history and we need to be aware of what we are doing to our world.
Rigo:
Yeah, Brad likes to read the bible while using the bathroom.

Which venue in San Diego is your favorite and why?

Band:
House shows are always fun to do. We love the energy and the familiar faces.  It’s like coming home to a surprise birthday party.  And plus, there’s nothing like a few teenage girls duking it out in a backyard (you know what we’re talking about San Diego). By the way, here we come Soma!

In the next 5 yrs where do you each see Comes the Horsemen?

Rigo:
Hopefully on a major record label touring our buttox’s off.
Brad: What Rigo said but making a tour diary wouldn’t hurt, maybe drop by Tokyo!
