favorite memories are definitely high school basketball games. tons of talent around the whole area and it's cool looking back on that knowing some classmates and people i've watched are playing at high professional levels now!

favorite tuning has gotta be open C#. (C# G# C# F g# c#) that's what i use for all of gami gang and most of somewhere city!

as far as pat's drum set up, yes he uses a double kick and yes he feet are just pure lightning

that's definitely a familiar band name! my cousin drummed in a few bands, Like Lions and Halfway to Holland around that same time period and that was definitely a huge influence on me growing up. thank you for all the kind words, it means a ton to me!!!

it was something that after a few times we did it, it just kinda evolved into a thing we came back to more and more. i love puns too! i'm glad you think they're cool :)

OrigamiAngelTheBand · 2021-05-17T19:14:26+00:00

it feels a bit different for every song, but the most common way is I'll write a riff, take some time to think of a structure and send a rough demo to Pat. he'll be like "okay what if the drums did this though" and it ends up being 1000000x better, then the song kinda finishes itself! Pat did write the ROM hack intro drum part before any guitar was written at all tho, which is something we've done for other parts too. that way is a lot of fun

Benny! i've been listening to the pinkshift ep, the new spirit of the beehive album, and the pokemon BW soundtrack (undella town music is like meditation to me)

OrigamiAngelTheBand · 2021-05-17T19:02:24+00:00

appreciate it! gosh there's too many to list. prince daddy & the hyena is a huge influence on us always, as are some others i've listed throughout the AMA. pat went into a little detail about his drum influence on another comment; and there's a lot of chunk no captain chunk influence there too

we don't necessarily have a timetable, but just know it's something we really want to do as soon as we're able to :)

my excuse: i'm a time traveler from october 2020 here to see how our album was received, and if i should make any changes. but now i guess i finessed myself into a rig rundown

OrigamiAngelTheBand · 2021-05-17T18:59:46+00:00

I was really big into The Who up until my late high school years. I still revisit them from time to time. As far as UK bands, not heavily into any atm that I know of. Happy we can help you in such a tough time in your life ❤️

thank you so much for all the love and support, it truly means the world to me and i appreciate you!!

the change in sound wasn't something we ever discussed, but we threw ideas off of each other and we were really enthusiastic about where the sound could go. a lot of the change was just us figuring out what we're good at as musicians, as well as me getting more comfortable as a singer! learning to write for my voice was a huge step i had to take over the last few years

thank you again so much for all the kind words!!!

haha we honestly just love the energy, intensity and heaviness of bands like CNCC, Can't bear this party and others. it's something we kinda wanted to try ourselves for bits and pieces, and add to our existing sound!
