Interview: Fall of Troy's Andrew Forsman
Published May 05, 2008
We actually just re-released it with a live DVD. The fans seem to like it. When we play them live, they go pretty crazy.
Many fans claim to hear a bit of prog-rock in you music do you agree with that?
Yeah, I'd say we are trying to always be doing something new or progressing further in some way from what we have done before.
Your t-shirts and designs seem to have a lot more lighthearted tone than some of the bands you play with. What do think of the obsession with gore and violence in many styles of music?
Whatever makes you happy is fine, but for us that kinda stuff is silly. We like to just have fun art.
What are the advantages of being a trio over a four or five piece band?
We get more money and there's less dicks in the van. No, I think it catches people's attention more because they expect to see a singer or another guitarist so it's a more of a surprise.
What’s more fun playing a big festival or a small sweaty club gig?
I like festivals a lot because I feel like more people who haven't seen us are probably there, but there's also nothing like a fun club show. I sweat either way so that's not a factor.
What are some of your favorite books, movies, or other forms of inspiration?
I like anything by Arthur C. Clarke and Issac Asimov, but I don't know how much that influences my music. I know Thomas likes David Lynch quite a bit.
Being great musicians do you prefer the studio or live shows?
I like playing live. It’s more of a challenge to play a bunch of songs in a row rather than one song over and over. In my opinion we are a much better live band than a studio band.
