Progressive symphonic black pop-core act ANA discusses the band's formation, recent music working's as far as single's, EP release, and wanting to focus on shows and touring! Just see what else was said from our discussion below!
1. Where did you get the idea for the band name, did you plan it or it just came to be that way?
We knew we wanted something clean and simple. So we chose to use my name but spell it ANA. It was chosen also because Ana is a palindrome so it can be pronounced both forwards and backwards the same way. This ties into our logo the Ouroboros that signifies an unending cycle.
2. What genre do you play and why did you want to play this genre?
We describe our genre as Progressive Symphonic Black Pop-core. It represents the background and contribution that each member brings to the band.
3. Did you know each other before the band was formed, give us a briefing on how the band came together?
Josh and I are married and have been working together making music for many years. When we decided to start a band we had a clear vision for the musicians we wanted to complete our family. So we went out to find the best of the best.
4. Who or what inspires you the most to write songs, what are they about topic wise?
My inspiration comes from my life experiences. It has been a long and arduous road for me to come from my tiny village to where I am now and I want to be able to share that story with people.
5. Can you tell me about your latest single for "Scars" both song and video, why pick this particular song?
Scars is about painful experiences in life and also about moving forward. The scars that remain remind us not to repeat those mistakes. The video was shot in black and white to represent the past.
6. That song comes off the EP "The Art of Letting Go", why go with an EP and not LP?
We chose to do an EP because we didn’t have a budget to be able to afford recording more songs. We also were keen to begin performing and decided to focus on our live shows first before recording a LP.
7. Three single's have come from this EP, will there be anymore released?
There won’t be anymore singles released from this EP. We may release a new single later in the year but our focus for now is on touring.
8. What are the plans from here towards the rest of this year?
We are booking more shows in regional towns in Australia and will begin to play more shows in cities in other states.
9. Would you like to say or add anything more?
While we have no plans to record new music at the moment we have already begun writing new material and one song has already been completed.
10. Is that your final answer?
We have only been on the scene for under 12 months and our first single is only 2 months old. Despite this we have been overwhelmed with how people from all over the world have embraced us and our music. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for joining us on our journey. Our wins are your wins. ❤️🙏🏻🤘🏻
