My name is Jake and I play guitar in Saving Honesty.
Yo I'm james and I play bass and sing.
How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard it?
Synthesizers Galore plus the illest breakdowns you'll ever hear. Just kidding it's basically fast punk with depressing lyrics, we just play what we think sounds cool.
How are the Pop Punk and Hardcore scenes like in El Centro, California?
Honestly, we're probably the only Pop Punk band here, (at least that we know of). There's a lot of spanish death metal going on. However, there are a few hot punk chicks that come out to the shows.
You recently recorded your debut EP “Okay For Now”. How did that come together? How was it working with Sam Pura? He’s worked with so many amazing bands.
We started this project in September, wrote 6 songs and did demos with our good friend Ty at his house. In early December we drove up to Fremont and stayed at The Panda Studios for a week and chose to record 4 with Sam.
It was cool working with Sam, he's a fucking maniac and he pushed us to do our best. We like how it turned out.
How did the album cover for your EP come about? It’s adorable.
We wanted to pick something for the cover that gave a nostalgic feeling that reminded you of when you were a kid and didn't have a care in the world, hence the name "Okay For Now"
You are all 17 years old, what do your families think about your band?
For the most part our families are pretty supportive. They pretend to like our songs, so it's cool.
Do you have plans on touring any time soon?
We are saving up for a van so hopefully we can set up a tour for this summer. We're all broke as a joke.
Do you have any upcoming shows that you could tell my readers about?
We have a few local shows lined up right now, Our drummer's still in school so it's hard to play out of town. You can check out our Facebook for upcoming shows.
What can we expect from Saving Honesty in 2012?
Tours, Acoustic Stuff, Possibly another EP. Just going where the wind takes us.
Thanks for your time. Any final comments?
