Interview: Band of the Week - 2nd Day Crush - Page 3

Chris are you the primary songwriter?

Chris: That’s always an interesting question. For most of the songs I start with an acoustic guitar in a room by myself. But they were shells. I come in and Rick will be like, “I’m not feeling it, but I love that idea.” So we come together and we start to shape it and that’s not only true of the music but that’s true of the lyrics. We try to make it better so it gets torn apart. That’s why we both get credit for songwriting.

Then after we are done with that we will throw it to the band. They will come in and like George (Lind) will write his own drums. We’re a band and we all take credit for these songs.

To listen to tracks from 2nd Day Crush’s debut album The Nights You Lost Your Voice for yourself you can visit their MySpace, or you can purchase it from their own website store or, of course, from iTunes.
