Today, we sat down with the band Keep This Up to talk music growing up, heroes and much more! Be sure to check out their music below after the interview on Spotify!
here is the interview:
What is your inspiration to write your music? Is it your surroundings?
Our music just comes from a lot of creative ideas we have, lyrically we take inspiration from events around us and the past but musically we are inspired by so many other musicians/bands and their sounds/energy
What type of music did you listen to growing up?
So the three of us differ a little here as we all have a broad range of interest in music from classic rock to metal to pop punk. We range from bands such as Slayer to Green Day to All Time Low. We each listened to such a variety and it has helped influence us so much and given us a broad range of ideas to work from when writing our own music.
Is there someone you looked up as a hero?
Chris: For me it would definitely have to be the band All Time Low, they are just my absolute favourite band and all-round amazing people. I aspire to be like them
Dan: Adam Björk, one of my favourite drummers on YouTube. He puts so much into his work, achieves his goals and is very humble about it all.
Mike: Probably my dad as without him I wouldn’t be doing music
If you weren’t a musician, would you be doing today?
I think for the three of us music drives us and without it we’d be lost and we can’t imagine what we would do without it
What advice do you have for our fans out there that want to create music?
Don’t let anyone stop you or put you down. Create the music you want to and let it be heard!
