Interview: Our Own Invention

It's time for another interview before I have to work until Friday. Our Own Invention are one of the first bands I ever reviewed (check it out here: [x]) and I'm really happy about the fact that I'm still working with them! 

Here are their answers to my questions: 


Q: Story behind your band name:

A: Our Ex bassist who has worked with us sometime in our sophomore/Junior year came up with the name after he saw a dream. He thought it was a cool name and gave me a phone call. Although we have parted ways with him, it's all under good terms. His name is Alex Ybarra and he's now playing in another band called Ridgeway.


Q: Who's your bigger inspiration?

A: There are so many people who inspire us to keep making music. Many come from our favorite bands, family, close friends, and our awesome fans who are always there to support. Thank you all for sticking around with us this far!


Q: Name 3 bands you want to work with!

A:
As a band, we have so many wonderful artists we w
ould love to work with. We really can't narrow it down to 3 bands but we've worked with Ian Berg of In Her Own Words back in February of last year when we recorded our record, Nose Goes EP (music available for free downloads over at ourowninvention.bandcamp.com). We have future plans to work with him again to record our LP and work with Bert of Chunk! No, Captain Chunk! for Mixing/Mastering though we can't say anything for sure as its only a part of our future plans.


Q: What are your plans for the future? Are there new songs coming soon?

A:
We are moving out to Colorado as a band to start school. We will be busy getting everything together and getting used to the new life though we plan to keep the band going. We can't say we will be putting any new music out, though you could expect our first full length album sometime in the future!


Q: What's something you can't live without?

A:
Something WE can't live without personally would be music. That goes for listening to, creating, discovering, ect. It's affected our lives in so many different ways, it's become an everyday routine to be involved with music.


Q: If you could be part of any music video, which one would it be and why?

A
: I would love to have been in the video for Traveller (The Fool) by In Hearts Wake. The nature in that video is just gnarly. We'd be so down to play in Australia!! 


Q: Message to your fans:

A:
For anyone who has been supporting OOI from the beginning as well as the many new recent followers and fans, we are so happy to have you all. We would be nothing without your help and support. Whether you buy our music or download our music for free, to know that people actually care is such an amazing feeling. So thank you guys for being the best, friendly, and extremely supportive fans. We are always striving to thank our peeps. We love you all so much. Keep your eyes and ears open for new material in the future! Stay Gooey For OOI \m/ 


Y'all should definitely go and check them out, you won't regret it!
