8-3-2009 Mark: Ten Year Vamp Influences?

So I’ve been spending all my time lately working on our new materials… all the album artwork, new posters, new fliers, new promo photos, new website stuff. Every time I scratch something off the list, two or three new things get added. Today I was speaking with Laura from 15secondpitch.com. Our PR Firm has us working with Laura to help perfect our bio for all our new promo materials. Anyway, Laura asked me who the band’s influences are. We actually get that question a lot. That’s such a strange question for us - it’s very hard to answer. We all grew up as die hard music fans, but our tastes were (and still are) extremely varied. As individuals, we don’t necessarily listen to Pop Rock stuff, but when we come together, it’s what we do best.


So, I’ll ask everyone in the band to list their favorite music… whether it be their favorite albums of all time, or songs… or just what they’re listening to now… or whatever else they can think of…
