Interview: Time Spent
Posted on Play Crack The Sky Music on Thursday, October 6th 2011.
Hailing from Dublin, Ireland, Time Spent are five-piece pop-punk band featuring members of Starters, Home Star Runner, Young Wolves and Anderson Mesa.
Formed together by a love for the pop-punk genre and inspired by more recent bands such as The Wonder Years, The Story So Far, and Turnover, Time Spent recently released a free four-track demo that greatly showcases the bands tight, upbeat and fun sound. Tracks like Open Books and Absent Friends have urgency and are easy to relate to lyrically.
PCTS Music recently caught up with bassist and vocalist Seán Reid to discuss how the band formed, how their other bands have influenced Time Spent, the new demo, the Dublin music scene and more.
How did Time Spent get together? I understand you have played in other Irish/Dublin-based (cancel where appropriate) bands before.
Yeah, we all grew up playing gigs around Dublin in different bands, so we all knew each other pretty well before Time Spent came together. I’ve know Iano (Kelly - singer) since I was like 16, he sent me a text saying he wanted to start a band and if I wanted to play bass. Then me and Anthony (Kelly - drummer) are in another band (We’re Wolves) together already. So it was pretty cool we where all good friends, or at least knew of each other, before the band even came together.
