AGONY IN THE LIVING ROOM

How long have you been making music as a band?

A little over a year now, but some of our members are newer than others.

Your first EP is called Walkthrough, can you explain what that name means to you and what the songs in this album represent?

Walkthrough is meant to represent a kind of walkthrough of an open house. I suppose our music is the house in this scenario, and we’re hoping people like what they hear and can afford the down payment.

Who were your biggest musical influences growing up?

We each picked one: Simon and Garfunkel, Pink Floyd, Tame Impala, Bob Marley, and Belle & Sebastian.

What was so influential about them?

Each of them capture elements of songwriting that we carry with us to this day. Also our parents imposed good music taste upon us.

If you could write a song with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?

Chopin

What do you think that song would sound like?

According to Benen (our Pianist): probably like something by Renaissance.

Would you say your creative process is more chaotic or disciplined?

It’s pretty chaotic, we have spurts of really focused creation, and then we have trouble being productive for the rest of the time. Very collaborative though.

What would your inner child think of your music?

John M (vocals): very proud

Benen (piano): my inner child would be impressed that I’m making music

John P (guitar): shocked I am making any kind of art at all

Liam (drums): hopefully proud of where I’m at so far

Talia (bass): satisfied that I’ve been able to find some consistency in music, surprised how it all happened

What are you manifesting for the future of Agony In The Living Room?

Selling out and becoming a cash cow so we can effectively maximize shareholder value.

Where can we find your music?

Everywhere hopefully.
