Cetragore was formed in 2019 at South Shore, Massachusetts. Formed from the remnants of local bands In Ash I Reign (Erik and Marco) and Dead By Dawn (Steve and Jonny) with Steve on lead vocals and guitar, Erik on bass and backing vocals, Jonny on drums and Marco on rhythm guitar in 2019, they are reminiscent of bands such as Death, Slayer and Cannibal Corpse with their breakneck grooves, punishing rhythm section and hair raising, guttural vocal assault.
Mixer-uppers LUNAFALL have not one but two single's out there right now, with all new music come the next year! The band talks of their music, and just living in the moment.
1. Please tell us about the history of your band and its members.
Myself (Joel) and Dave have been playing together since we were 14 in various bands through school. We formed Lunafall and needed a permanent drummer, we actually found Darius online and saw some great videos. We met up and asked him to join the band before hearing him play live!
2. What’s the origin of the band’s name?
We love all things ‘Luna’ and we play at night… so we thought LUNAFALL went quite well.
3. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?
We are based in Birmingham! The music scene is starting to recover now which is great, so we’re hoping for plenty more local shows.
4. How would you describe your style?
I think we blend pop, rock and alternative in pretty equal measures. We try not to focus too hard on trying to make it sound like something, so we just tend to take each song as it comes and kind of put what’s needed.
5. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?
This year we have released 2 singles. Save Me and Call It Off. People can expect a lot of energy and melodies.
6. Do you have any new music in the works?
Yes! We have another new release coming in the new year, followed by another release shortly after, we’ve got tons of material to get out there!
7. How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?
Yes. Tour planned for early next year!
8. What plans do you have for the future as a band?
The plan is to enjoy ourselves and live every moment. The last 2 years have taught us to not take anything for granted. Whether we are popular or not, making music together and playing shows is what makes us happy.
9. Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?
All our socials are @lunafallband.
10. What is it you’d like a listener to remember the most when hearing your music for the first time?
‘That was catchy’.
Soulful pop artist FIRE THE HUMANS had started because of wanting to be a solo artist. With that, a single was released with another single expected soon enough. A lot more is discussed in term's of music and more below.
1. Please tell us about the history of your band and its members.
Born & raised just outside of St. Louis, Missouri, I played with a handful of bands and grew up in the local scene. After releasing music like “Hey Runaway” and “Animal” with bands such as thePour, I decided to start my own lifelong dream of embarking on a solo project. A project named “FIRE THE HUMANS”. Ultimately, a tongue n’ cheek reference to how poorly we’re managing ourselves as the human race. Writing stadium-sized hooks, anthem-sized melodies encompassed with true soul and feeling in every word. Partnering with the ever accomplished multiple Grammy Award recipient, .j at The Toybox, to take my vision to new heights. In March of 2021, “VANISH” became the debut release of “FIRE THE HUMANS”, and so it began! Feedback and praise from coast to coast welcomed this new sound. As “FIRE THE HUMANS” continues to grow in popularity, a follow-up single, ”CAN’T STOP”, is set to be released on November 26th, 2021. “FIRE THE HUMANS” has quickly become one of the best-kept secrets in the music industry, for now.
2. What’s the origin of the band’s name?
As you see the world evolving, it’s clear what a poor job we’re doing as a human race. Extinct animals, pollution, plans to leave this planet, and on and on. The origin of the name is my perspective if beings from far beyond were to
3. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?
Based out of St. Louis, Missouri in the United States, our music scene is great. Incredible music comes out of this city. Story of the Year, Nelly, Chuck Berry, Ike and Tina Turner, Chingy, The Urge and many more.
4. How would you describe your style?
Soulful POP with a raspy undertone.
5. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?
My first single is called “Vanish”. This dropped in March of 2021 and is currently in rotation across the US. It’s also being shopped to be accepted into movie production. It’s done quite well for being an unknown project with a brand new song.
6. Do you have any new music in the works?
My follow-up single, “Can’t Stop”, drops on Friday, November 26th and I believe it will get even better reviews than the first single. I have many more in the pipeline that will drop throughout 2022.
7. How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?
A tour is definitely in the works as dates, sponsors and cities are being lined up as we speak. More great news to come on that.
8. What plans do you have for the future as a band?
The great thing about Fire the Humans is that it’s not a band, it’s a solo project. This allows me the freedom to pivot quickly and move to a destination of choice much faster. Whether that being, writing, recording, releasing a single, touring, concerts etc. Music no longer carries a boundary. There are no color limits, age limits, gender limits. Nothing. It’s a great feeling to be free to move forward and share this artwork with the world.
9. Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?
Fire the Humans is available on all major music platforms. Spotify, Apple Music, Google Music, Amazon Music, YouTube, pretty much everywhere.
10. What is it you’d like a listener to remember the most when hearing your music for the first time?
The music. Simply put, these are fantastic songs.
