Say From Charms

Say From Charms is releasing their debut five song EP, So This is Revolution, later this month. Anyone that is a fan of Thursday or Thrice or any other bands in that "melodic hardcore" genre needs to check these guys out. They bring the rock, and we've heard their live show is even better, so make sure to check out their CD release Saturday March 15th at the Scene with Waiting For Autumn!

Say From Charms
buy it? Is there a CD release show in the works? What was the recording like?
Alex: Our new EP, So This Is Revolution was recorded late last year during the winter with Sean O'Donnell, of Dogwood and Reeve Oliver fame. We had spent the year we've been together writing and revising the 5 songs we included on it, and it couldn't have been a better first recording experience for us. We are very happy with how it came out and you can find it at our shows and mail order through sayfromcharms.com.

Joel: How long has Say From Charms been a band for?
Alex: We've been a band since November 2001.

Joel: Where did you get your name from?

Joel: What makes Say From Charms different from every other band out there?
Alex: Our lyrics and our messages are personal, so the music is a representation of us and nobody else.

Joel: Is there any message you try to get across through your music?

Alex:
Nothing particular. We don't usually have big goals on what to write and how it should sound and what it should be about. It mostly just comes out how it does.

Joel: Do you have a single song that has a special meaning to you?

Alex: Hahahaa. I think all of our songs, collectively, have sentiment, 'cause like I said, they're personal.

Joel: What bands, people, books, etc. have had the biggest influence on your band?
Alex:
Refused, Dennis Lyxzen, Die Radio Die, Death Cab For Cutie, Ben Gibbard... People like that.

Joel: What about Say From Charms are you most proud of?
Alex:
The music.

Joel: What is the biggest thing about Say From Charms you want to improve?
Alex: The music.

Joel: What CDs are currently in your stereo?
Alex: Mates of State, Cursive and Refused.

Joel: Do you have any closing comments?
Alex: Simply, we're really really new to pretty much everyone. I think I know all the people who like our band, so to everyone, give us a chance, listen to our mp3s, come to a show, and maybe you'll like us. Thanks sandiegopunk.com!
