Creo

1. For someone unfamiliar with your music, how would you describe the Creo sound?

1. We are a rock band that create multi-layered, dynamic guitar music, guided by an infectious rhythm section and coated in catchy, sing-along hooks.

2. Tell us a little bit about your writing process. A peek inside the inner workings of your band if you will?

2. Usually I (Jorjee) will write the initial song in it’s most bare form, and then that will be taken into the studio with the rest of the band to arrange.

3. As far as breakout success is concerned, is it all about the strength of a song or does being in the right musical climate at the right time make all the difference?

3. There’s always an ounce of luck that comes with it but without the strong song you’ll never really get noticed no matter the time and place.

4. How important is social media to you in regards to engaging with an audience?

4. It’s vital in todays music climate.  We try keep it updated on a daily basis so we are constantly connecting with our audience.

5. What inspired you to take music more seriously?

5. We’re not much good at anything else, and it’s the only thing in the world we want to do AND that makes us feel worth while.

6. What’s spinning on your playlist atm? Any guilty pleasures?

6. The new Manchester Orchestra album ‘Cope’ has been on solid rotation in the car the last few weeks.  Andy Hull is a brilliant lyricist/songwriter and the band has a massive sound.  In saying that though my guilty pleasure is anything Bruce Springsteen.  I have two copies of Darkness on the Edge of Town for the sole reason once of them can live in my car.

7. Are you a fan of keeping the album format alive or do you think there’s more benefit to release singles or EPs with the influence of streaming platforms arguably shortening attention spans?

7. I definitely appreciate a quality album over an EP.  Sometimes an artist’s integrity can be skewed in the direct and succinct nature of an EP or single.  An album allows the artist to clearly express themselves and make a larger statement.

8. When not consumed with all things musical, what do you do to tune out or reset?

8. A solid fishing session with a few beers, followed by a BBQ always does the trick.

9. Your single ‘Suay’ is doing the rounds right now, what does the immediate future hold?
