Band Interview: Liquid Therapy
Games, Brrraaains & A Head-Banging Life are pleased to bring you an interview with rock/metal hybrid band, Liquid Therapy.
1. How did you get started as a band?
It started with Gino and Davy being friends already and they both felt the timing was right to do something together at last. They completed the band with Bart on Vocals, Luc on drums and Renzo on bass. After a few gigs, Renzo decided to leave the band and Hans Joined us as the new bass player. In the last two years, I can honestly say that we changed from being a band to being a band of friends. We all have our own characters and funny enough it is a match. Recently Luc had to leave the band as well because of medical reasons. Now we found our new drummer Kristof (Timmy) and I can feel the same vibe already with him.
2. How would you describe your sound?
I think we are a bit of a mixture of a few different genres at the moment. Some songs are metal, old school hard rock and some of them lean more to grunge, rock and even punk. I think our next album and songs we will record, will be a bit harder, compared to our debut album. Also live we sound a bit harder than we do on our recorded versions.
3. What bands/artists would you say have influenced your style of music?
I think each band member has its own favourites.
4. Has the rise of YouTube & music streaming helped or hindered you as a band?
I think it is easier to reach people who might not have taken the time listening to our songs the old school way. You can share videoclips and new songs very easily. On the other hand, we are not selling as many CD’s as before of course. I think I can speak for the whole band when I say we are not in this band for the money, so I think in our case it has been a good evolution after all.
5. What do you enjoy doing when you’re not making music?
We have a common hobby in the band and that is enjoying a good beer from time to time!
6. What are your future plans musically? Tours?
Our biggest wish is to play a lot of shows in the near future. The whole Covid situation has been going on for too long if you ask me, but of course we want to do it in a safe way. So we are patient but very eager to be in front of our fans again. Hope to see you soon…rock on.
