Interview: Bright and Early
Posted on Play Crack The Sky Music on October 17th, 2011.
With the release of their new EP (Getting Through It) imminent, Play Crack The Sky Music recently caught up with Bright and Early vocalist and guitarist John Browne (JB) to discuss the EP, joining up with Pacific Ridge Records, their cover of an Alkaline Trio classic and how they’re not accepted in the Pop-Punk scene.
To begin with can you introduce yourself and your role in Bright and Early?
My name is JB. I write the bulk of the songs, and I sing and play guitar.
Your new EP, Getting Through It is the follow up to last year’s Louder Than Words EP. How has the band changed and developed with this new release?
That’s a tough question to answer. We’ve been through a lot of life changes and learned a lot in the past year. The band has changed in mindset, sound, goals, lineup, and just the entire overall direction. We still and will always keep our recordings as real and true to our natural sound as we can get them. We plan on going more of a rock and roll direction. We just want to riff out and be catchy. I don’t know if you’ve heard, but the new cool thing is to be anti-pop-punk.
