David: David and The Curse is my first solo project but I've been playing in bands since I was 12 years old.

6. What can people can expect when listening to An Epitaph For Love?
David: Something different than what they are used to.
7. What is it youíd like a listener to remember the most when hearing your music for the first time?

8. How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?
David: Everything is in the works. We're talking about hitting the West Coast hard and then going to Europe.
9. What future plans do you have for the band?
David: More music. More shows. We just want to play for as many people as possible. I'm also currently writing the follow up to An Epitaph For Love. I'm always writing music.
