Structure Sounds
We’re super-excited to be speaking today with rightly acclaimed Providence, Rhode Island Punk Rock band Structure Sounds; greetings and salutations, gang! Before we dive into the Q&A mosh-pit, could you each say ‘hi’ and introduce yourselves to our ever-inquisitive readers? a.) Hi I’m Rob. I play bass. b.) Hi I’m Adam I play Drums. c.) Hello I’m Sean I play guitar and sing in Structure Sounds d.) Hey i’m Zach I play guitar and sing Kudos and accolades on the upcoming October 20 release of the Structure Sounds mesmerizing and altogether rockin’ debut album Light Up Your Sorrow! Sean, what’s the story on how this incredible premiere LP came into being? Sean: It actually came in two parts. 2020 gave everyone a lot of time at home. It has become a cliche, but like many other musicians this was a time to really dive into old song ideas from the past. Some of these songs date back to my teenage years. In 2021 I started getting together with Adam to flesh these ideas out and that became our first batch of songs. We recorded five songs in July of 2022 and loved the way they turned out so we felt the need to extend this into a full LP booking another session for early 2023.
Sean, Light Up Your Sorrow is being released via Wiretap Records. What makes Wiretap the perfect home for Structure Sounds and your music? Sean: Over the years I have played with several Wiretap artists in my previous band including moonlighting as Divided Heaven’s bass player. When looking for a home for our LP I asked several friends how they felt and they had nothing but great things to say. Rob (Wiretap) has a great ear and offers the support and expertise we need to launch a new band. We are stoked to partner with them. Adam, backtracking just for a moment: What’s the VH1-Behind the Music secret origin story on how Structure Sounds came together to form the incredibly tight band which we hear to amazing effect on Light Up Your Sorrow? Adam: Sean and I met a long long time ago when I was playing in another band with his brother called The Down and Outs. Maybe 5-6 years after I had stopped playing in the band I was desperate to get back into music somehow. I had always wanted to be in some kind of project with Sean, so when I ran into him at a Bouncing Souls show I brought up the idea of jamming together sometime. We ended up getting together to jam a few songs he had been working on and it got pretty good
