Playful energetic nu-metalcore act SCARCITY have been actively creating music, let alone playing it for a while now, with their debut EP "Through My Veins", coming soon, the band has created pure straight heaviness within the nu-metal style with metalcore elements that will rip! With that said, the band got together to discuss their formation, music content, and just getting the chance to do their first ever interview with me, check it below!
1. Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or did it come out just like that?
Our drummer's dad wrote a song called "Scarcity" and we put many band name ideas that we had and eventually landed on using "Scarcity" as our name.
2. What genre do you play and why did you want to play this genre?
We play Post Nu Metalcore (Nu Metal & Metalcore) and the reason we play it is because it's fun to play and energetic.
3. Did you know each other before the band was formed?
We knew each other but hadn't talked all that much until the band was formed.
4. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?
We're based out of Riverside, California and the music scene is sick out here. "Where It Lies" is a band straight out of Riverside and they're band that people should check out. "Unisin" is a band based out of Apple Valley, but they have played with us multiple times and they're also a sick band people should check out.
5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?
For our debut original song "Through My Veins" the riffs were inspired by Korn & Pantera, and the lyrics were inspired by our drummer's experience after a falling out with friends.
6. What are your songs about? (What specific themes do they cover?)
Our songs channel raw emotion and anger towards past friendships and relationships.
7. Do you write your own songs? (Discuss the songwriting process in detail.)
"Through My Veins" was a long writing process. We had a pretty good amount of riffs and parts that went unused in the final song.
8. You have your debut EP "Through My Veins”, coming soon, briefly tell me about it?
The EP was something that was barely brought up a few months ago, and within that time we've managed to record and finish all the songs. It's 11 straight minutes of pure heaviness with Nu Metal & Metalcore elements.
9. With that release came a single and video for the title track, why pick the title track as the lead single?
So, the lead single had just happened to become the EP name. When we released the "Through My Veins" single, we hadn't had any thought about an EP until February, then we decided on "Through My Veins" being the EP name in March.
10. Besides all of that, you have a cover song turned single of the track titled “Roots Bloody Roots”, by Sepultura, why go with this song in particular and how do you think you did pulling it off?
"Roots Bloody Roots" is a song that we've played for many months now and it's been a crowd favorite as well as one of our favorite songs to play, so we decided to record a cover of the song and release it. We think we did a pretty good job on the cover, and we've gotten some really good feedback on it as well.
11. Does the band have any shows or touring, planned out?
We have shows lined up from the end May till the middle of June and hope that every crowd we play for this summer enjoys the new EP.
12. What plans do you have for the rest of this year?
After this summer, we don't have anything planned but hope there is definitely more to come.
13. Where can we listen to your band, find you on social media and buy your stuff?
