Own stylists PAUSE have their debut album out there, with the tracks being alternate in both English and Spanish languages. And all newer music is already in the works and should be out come the fall. This band just wants to get out, share their music, play shows and much more. See what all was discussed from this conversation below.
1. Please tell us about the history of your band and its members.
The band has gone through many stages, at first we did wild hardcore with two more friends, it was quite a game, the concert setlist we wrote on a tissue five minutes before the show hahaha, we had a great time. The band fell apart because two of our friends left town. Some time passed and we got together again Juanjo and Toni, we locked ourselves in a basement and started writing songs and taking the band seriously because we think we have a lot to show you. Many people came through the band until we decided to make a power trio format, and Lee arrived who has been our drummer for a year.
2. What’s the origin of the band’s name?
Sometimes when incredible things happen to us, or we live experiences we would like that time to stay frozen, that's where the name of pause comes from, it's like when you can't sleep and you are looking for a feeling that calms you down, those sensations are in our memories they are in pause in our mind.
3. Where is the band based out of and what is your music scene like there? Are there any local bands you could recommend?
We are from Barcelona, we are Mediterranean people with burning blood (especially in summer), Bcn is a cosmopolitan city, here come influences from all over the world, in recent times there are some styles of music that from our point of view are especially damaging to Live music, many "musicians" go on stage with a computer and a microphone, times changes, soon they will get tired .in our area there are very interesting bands but we are left with three "triángulo de amor bizarro"" "the hinds" and "nudozurdo".
4. How would you describe your style?
We ask ourselves that question many times.... no idea. Most of the labels that they put us are either postpunk or indie rock, maybe we like postpunk more, but we would like to have our own style.
5. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?
We have our first album "we cannot rewind" on all platforms, it is our debut album and we alternate songs in English and Spanish, we wanted to experiment and see where we were going, our music can be defined by its forcefulness and emotionality.
6. Do you have any new music in the works?
Yes, we have a great team behind us and we are going to release new material in October, stay tuned please!
7. How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?
With the pandemic, all the concerts were postponed and ended up being canceled, we are hopeful we have only done three shows in a year....it is very little, we need it.
8. What plans do you have for the future as a band?
We must go as far as possible, we believe that rock in a generic way has already rested enough, we have many ideas and desire to do important tours, we have a lot to offer we have worked a lot to be where we are, it is not easy, the world of music. It is moved by many factors that cannot be controlled, people no longer have so much patience or give so many opportunities, but this is a long-distance race, where the most important thing is work and resistance.
9. Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?
You can listen to us on all streaming services growing a lot and I hope you will help us by subscribing to our Spotify and YouTube channels, and all the information to buy our merchandising is on Instagram @pausebandrock.
10. What is it you’d like a listener to remember the most when hearing your music for the first time?
Very good question, we would love for you to feel alive, get excited and join us on this wonderful trip.
