WE TALK TO SLADE FROM PHOENIX POP-PUNK BAND ANARBOR |
Anarbor is on their way Down-under for the first time as part of the first ever Vans Warped tour of Australia which hits our shores in November. We took some time out to talk to singer Slade Echeverria about the phoenix band’s new album ‘Burnout’.

Mark: Hi Slade thanks so much for talking the time to talk to The Rockpit.
Slade: Absolutely

Mark: Last time I was over in Phoenix a few tears ago there was a pretty vibrant scene going on musically, plenty of bands, plenty of places to play especially around Tempe. Has it changed much? What’s it like at the minute back home?

Mark: You’re coming over at a god time of year, maybe not as hot as Phoenix but we’ll be getting there. What are you looking forward to?
Slade: Between this record and the last there are about two years, and we’re pretty much writing all the time though we’d been touring so much after the last one, we took a little break to go home and be with our family and girlfriends and friends and stuff. But during that whole period we were writing. During that time I guess we did about 40 or 50 songs – we experimented writing with song-writers in LA; we kind of stepped out of our box on this one. And that was kind of interesting as usually when we were about to write a record we’d sit down in a room and we all write so we all put out two cents in. Nut this time it took a while and when you pick the best out of the 40 it came together quite nice.

|
Mark: We mentioned before that you’re a pretty hard working band always out on the road. What do you get out of that experience, have you learnt anything from your contemporaries?
|
|
Mark: You’ve certainly got a knack with a catchy chorus and hope it’s fair to say that on ‘Burnout’ you’re exploring more lyrically than on previous releases?
