Hey guys! How are you? We’re fine thanks for asking!
STRAIGHT EDGE METALCORE/ HARDCORE
How did Regressions start? Me (Patrick) and Liam decide to write a few demos that we felt were different from the other bands in our local scene. What sorta bands have inspired you? The bands that influenced our sound include Arkangel, Sanction, Renounced, old Parkway and bands like that. We take a lot of inspiration from older metalcore bands. How important is the straight edge community to you as a band? As a group, we look up to the American Straight Edge scene a lot more than the UK scene. However, the US scene seems so strong, and that’s what we would love our scene to grow into. You brought your demo tape back in April. What’s the feedback been like? We were overwhelmed by the positive response. We were so surprised when the tapes sold out in 48 hours. The tape is opening doors to some cool opportunities that are currently in the works. Are there any UK bands you’d love to play/tour with? We’ve basically got that covered…. But we would kill to play with Renounced. Are there any post-coronavirus plans you can fill us in on? I heard the virus fucked up a few shows. Yeah sadly we had to cancel our second show and a potential tour. However we have a few things in the works that make up for it. The one thing we can say, is that were are very close to finishing our Debut EP “The Sins From Which We Abstain”. What do you want people to take away from listening to you? We want people to know its okay to be straight edge, It’s okay to go against the grain, and you don’t have to conform to what society expects of you. Where can people find more about you guys? You can find us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter @xregressionsx.
