An Interview With Monster House

1975-monster-house-2.jpg

A brand new premier from Monster House gives us a fresh bout of indie-rock with fuzztone guitars and a killer swagger that just feels cool. 

 

"Migraine" has that 90's radio rock feel that takes the best parts of bands like early Weezer and The Strokes and sprinkles on some added fun in the form of colorful character, endless energy, and lots of feedback. 

 

The track explodes into its massive chorus with open arms and you can feel the jump up and down rhythm kicking in as the drums bounce and the vocals belt. 

 

This single is incredibly vibrant and feels almost like an anthemic love letter to the genre and the sound is nailed so well that it actually gives you the warm and fuzzy feeling. 

 

These guys have a ton of fun doing their thing and it's super obvious from this release that they absolutely love what they do as it bleeds through onto the track. 

 

Monster House is a great time to be had and with such a banger of a release, we wanted to sit down with the band to talk shop. 

 

So we did just that. 

 

TSWS: Okay so let's start with "Migraine". This track has a touch of 90's rock influence to it and really boasts a ton of energy. Where did this track come from? 

      Joe: Just a four note progression we jammed on for a couple months

 

TSWS: I'm hearing all kinds of alternative rock styles on this track. Who are some of your biggest musical influences?

 

Hunter: Huey Lewis and the news and rage against the machine     

Joe: lot of pixies I don't know why     

Ethan: peach pit 


TSWS: What kind of advice would you give to up and coming bands trying to get heard? 

 

Hunter: do what we're doin      

Joe: just take the step man

 

TSWS: What are you guys doing when you're NOT working on music? 

 

Ethan: poppin xans and watching Disney movies     

Hunter: the incredibles on mushrooms really make you think about how big mr incredible is     

Joe: we vibe don't stress don't worry about it


TSWS: What sort of things inspire you to write? 

 

Ethan: kush     

Joe: copious amounts of alcohol and sunny days in my bed     

Hunter: getting laid/not getting laid


TSWS: How do you write your songs? Is it lyrics first? or Melodies? How does it work for you? 

 

Joe: we usually just jam out and lyrics come later. Or in the spur of the moment it depends     

Ethan: I wrote all my songs five years ago      

Hunter: the funk comes to me and it speaks the words of the groove master and I listen

 

TSWS: Will you be putting any focus on live performance in the near future? 

 

Ethan: hell yeah (as soon as it's safe)     

Hunter: that's part of the inspiration of doing this at all for me, having people enjoy what we play no matter if it's popular answer    Joe: big things planned once it's safe

 

TSWS: What IS next for you as a band? 

 

Joe: the world sky high monster house nahmsayin   

 Hunter: we have an ep coming out soon we're excited about   

Ethan: look out for the ep
