1. Who is Green,?
Sean (aka The Vision): Our fearless band leader, the mastermind behind our songs so far, an
incredible multi-instrumentalist with a personality to match.
Joe (aka The Butcher): The drummer and backbone of the rhythm section. Been in talks with Sean about starting a project for years at this point.
Thomas (aka The Frequency): The smooth and seductive part of the rhythm section, responsible for all the groovy bass lines that get hips shaking.
Charlie (aka The Brain): Rhythm guitar and the pure, infectious energy on stage and in a lot of
our planning.
Kieran (aka The Rat): Lead guitar, layering silky smooth harmonies and intricacies over our
soundscape.
2. How did you guys link up?
“Sean and Joe had been discussing the potential creation of a project for years, as the first
demos for some of our songs were tracked in a shared studio space. Then Charlie and Thomas
came into the picture in the form of a jam/cover band called “Hit The Garage” with Sean over
the first part of the pandemic. Kieran was a friend and current roommate of Sean, and so all the
puzzle pieces fell into place.”
3. What inspired you to start a band?
“Sean had been trying to bring the project to life, and the others made it possible through mutual
desire to have an outlet for our creative tendencies as well as all of us either dropping out or
deciding not to attend college.”
4. What’s the story behind the name “green,”?
“Sean originally had come up with the name “Green” but we were quickly humbled by Spotify,
informing us that there were already too many “Green” band names to be accepted.
Subsequently, we tried a smiley face 🙂 in the end, only to be informed that parentheses cannot
be a part of the name either. In the end, we decided on a comma, with the idea to include
friends/other artists as a collective, more than just a band.”
5. What does the songwriting process look like for you guys?
“Thus far, the songs have either been on Sean’s catalog of written tunes, or a combination of
Sean’s chord progressions and developments from there.”
6. What advice would you give to a band that’s just starting out?
“Play shows. Play any show you can get. Whether it’s well-attended or not, it’s practice for the
next one. We’ve been lucky enough to play as many shows as we have in the time we’ve been
a band together, and it’s helped us hone in our live sound and stage presence, as well as
exposing us to a variety of audiences.”
7. What can we expect from Green, in the coming months?
“We shall have our debut EP dropping later this summer (optimally July or Early August), as well
as multiple collab songs and videos with our partner in crime, Lightning Rager Zarek. Expect
plenty of content over the next few months, it should be a very green, summer ;)”
