Interview Template - Band Name
What is Scissor Bread Records?
Scissor Bread Records was formed in 2018. Scissor Bread Recordsis a collective of musicians. A revolving door of talent that uses the umbrella of a vanity label to record and release music. It all started as a way to re release old material then it snowballed into populating our vanity label with "fake bands" (one-off recording projects featuring our cast of musicians). It's essentially the same 5 or 6 core guys and another 5 or six satellite contributions. We rearrange ourselves with every project and often go by a different band name although there are some bands that are reoccurring projects. Whew! That's a lot of crazy.
In your own words, what genre would you consider yourself?
Punk
Who is your biggest musical influence?
The Aquabats
If you could only suggest one of your songs to, which would you recommend and why?
"Pop Song" by Kidz With Knivez (one of our shadow bands). It's a pop rock tune in the vein of Green Day that is meta and 4th wall breaking. We sing about how we might gain more traction if we give people the ear candy and relatability that they crave... we somehow achieve this goal and don't achieve this goal at the same time. It's meta pop.
How long have you been making music?
All of us are around the 20 year mark.
What band(s) or artist(s) do you feel you sound the most like?
The Vandals, Green Day, Leftover Crack, The Aquabats... lots of things. We take many forms and play with genre quite a bit.
If you could open for any band/artist, who would it be?
The Vandals because we look up to them and they're silly enough for our weirdness to slip through.
If you could do a collaboration with any musician, who would it be, and why?
The MC Bat Commander from the Aquabats. We kind of modeled our bands as a villan or antagonist to something as heroic and wholesome as the Aquabats. I would love for The MC Bat Commander to administer justice on a track of ours!
What’s your favorite brand of coffee and how do you like your coffee prepared?
Dark roast Death Wish Coffee. I put it in a reusable Keurig cup (convenient and easy) and I put it in my favorite mug with a splash of milk.
