1. This band is getting big, fast. How do you feel about that?
Feels really damn good! Whats the sense waiting? We've been working extrmely hard over the past 2 years, and things have been moving very fast. We had record deal offers before we had even played a show or even had a full band together haha. I love how fast everything is moving. It really keeps us on our toes.
2. You definetly have a Soilwork, Fear Factory influence. Who else do >you feel has helped shape your sound?
Pantera, early Metallica, Meshuggah, Alice in Chains, Zakk Wylde, Strapping Young Lad, Lamb of God, the list goes on and on but I feel those are some of the main influences.
3. You already have touring plans, and the album hits North America in August. Is there any stopping Threat Signal?
I hope not!! I live for music and I hope this lasts. It would be amazing to maintain a decent living creating and playing music. That has always been a dream.
4. Where did the band name come from?
I beleive Threat Signal is the name of an old wooden ship? haha Anchor Man is hillarious. No really, we just put those two words together when trying to come up with a name, and it sounded very original and like a bad ass metal band.
5. What can we expect from your live show?
A good fuckin time!! I want every Threat Signal show to be like a party, get drunk, rock out, and get more drunk. We have fun playin shows, goin nuts on stage, its a very intese experience. You can expect to hear these songs played live just as good as the album.
6. Now for a little Canadian talk. I'm a hockey fan and the Leafs are my team. How about you?
Go Leafs Go!!! Gotta support your home town man. We are 45 minutes away from Toronto so I've grown up watching and supporting the Leafs.
7. Crown Royal or Jim Beam?
If its brown, drink it down. Jim is my man
8. Gravy or Ketchup on your fries?
I put Ketchup on everything
9. Now back to the music. Have you been playing any shows in the U.S. prior to this tour?
Threat Signal hasnt played shows outside of Ontario as of yet. We have a show in Germany next month, that should be insane! We are so new, and have spend so much time writing, recording, and finalizing the band members, we havent had the oportunity to tour yet.
10. When is the video coming out?
It should be on MTV2 and all that crap soon. Its available on the net at www.youtube.com. We made the video for Rational Eyes, its pretty cool!!
11. Tell fans one thing they should know about Threat Signal.
Our big dicks wont fit into your tight emo pants
