Orlando, Florida band Liquid Spiral released their album Dreaming in a Way this year with the help of fans chipping in for the costs. The band is a diverse Progressive Experimental Rock musical ensemble that explores outside of the confines of rock into genres like reggae, funk, jazz and incorporate aggressive metal riffs. A combination of melodic vocal melodies, Latin rhythms, aggressive riffs, and rich colourful chords make up the band’s well structured compositions. Though the band has a large rock fan following, Liquid Spiral prides itself on making music for people of all ages, backgrounds, heritage, and culture to form a musical entity that has never been done before. This year the band has got first place in the Red Lion Audio Battle of the Bands and played such gigs as Orlando Predetors Street party back in May. The band members Anthony Felice (Vocals) Julian Vasquez ( Rhythm Guitar, Vocals), Angello Garcia (Lead Guitar), Erick Morales (Bass), Gordon Hanson (Drums).
Check out Shatter below!
Anthony: This Album was very different because it showed what Erick on the bass, and me on the Vocals had to bring to the table. The songs were also made to be radio friendly unlike our last release. The crazy thing is that with three extra songs on Dreaming in a Way, it still was very close in length to our previous release. That just goes to show how much we compressed the tracks.
Angello: For sure “Shatter”! We wanted to keep a classic rock style song, but keep the edginess that Liquid Spiral carries. I think the song just came out just as we were hoping for, and I am really happy about the composition.
Angello: About Half of 2016 we were trying to compress our songs like Anthony said before. We also wanted to make it more colorful using effects and different styles than before.
Anthony: We are constantly working on new material, at the moment we are actually holding off till after December to gig again. We are taking that time to write new material and get tighter as a band. We always want to bring something new to the table, it keeps things interesting.
Angello: Yes 100%, that was actually the plan after releasing the Album. We came to the conclusion that we would wait till after December to set up a tour. This decision was made so we can write new material keeping things fresh, on top of promoting the new album of course.
Angello: Yes we would, a lot of the influences we share as a band came from those regions. I think we would actually attract a big fan base in those areas because of our music style.
Anthony: Our fan base was the core of this project making us reach our kickstarter goal and making it possible for us to finish production. We could not be more grateful for the fans we have, they are family to us!
Angello: Most likely Incubus. Incubus is a band that was an influence to all the members in the band. Because we come from different backgrounds of music we don’t share all the same influences. Incubus is one of the few bands that we were all influenced by.
