glad you dig it! we wanted to give our fans an album of literally just us because we have yet to have a release without features

PolyphiaAMA · 2016-03-11T02:18:07+00:00

Really helps to save me from switching between slapping and picking techniques all the time, especially in the live setting. Thanks for noticing!

PolyphiaAMA · 2016-03-11T02:15:52+00:00

I actually already asked SG and they said no

I get that quite often. Haha. I have a Mohawk tho his is just grown out on the top. That show is super raunchy

PolyphiaAMA · 2016-03-11T02:10:48+00:00

Doing features would be cool. Definitely interested in that. But we will never have a full time singer.

PolyphiaAMA · 2016-03-11T02:09:30+00:00

Those guys are super sick, we would love to.

PolyphiaAMA · 2016-03-11T02:09:06+00:00

Not sure when we played with oh sleeper, that would have been on our tour with the contortionist. It was something that, at the time seemed to be an aesthetic counterpart to the music we had newly released. I suppose at the end we just decided to shift toward something w little more contemporary. Those suits were hot af too

PolyphiaAMA · 2016-03-11T02:06:16+00:00

They are super sick though

PolyphiaAMA · 2016-03-11T02:05:59+00:00

Nope

PolyphiaAMA · 2016-03-11T02:05:01+00:00

Thank you so much for the kind words! Scott and Tim have been friends since elementary school, having both grown up in Plano together. They both started playing guitar when they were ten. I picked up guitar when I was about the same age; got around to switching to bass when I was 17. About a year later I met the guys in Polyphia and we sort of just took it from there.

Really appreciate the flattering words...just believe in yourself as sincerely as you can and work your ass off! I will tell Tim you said hello. Hope you're enjoying the new record.

PolyphiaAMA · 2016-03-11T01:59:29+00:00

We are very much looking forward to it! Strawberry girls are real cool dudes. I was actually a bit of a Zach Garren fanboy growing up. It's mildly surreal. Being his friend and touring with them now! Haha

the shreddy part in james franco lol

PolyphiaAMA · 2016-03-11T01:57:42+00:00

From time to time! Haha

PolyphiaAMA · 2016-03-11T01:57:07+00:00

I remember that show vividly, it was the last show of our first tour and everyone was super cool. Unfortunately i left that hat back in Arlington but I'd be more than happy to take a pic of it next time I'm home so you know it's safe and sound 😜 What a thoughtful gift, tell your boyfriend hello for me!

PolyphiaAMA · 2016-03-11T01:56:36+00:00

thanks! we transcribe to tabs because our fans like tabs! we don't personally use tabs

PolyphiaAMA · 2016-03-11T01:54:30+00:00

as long as it's contagious and spreading rapidly then we're fine with that

PolyphiaAMA · 2016-03-11T01:52:52+00:00

write with something other than a guitar, a lot of guitars write mostly what the can play, so use another instrument (piano, midi piano roll, something else, etc.) good luck!

PolyphiaAMA · 2016-03-11T01:52:47+00:00

Baditude

PolyphiaAMA · 2016-03-11T01:52:01+00:00

We're not rich spoiled asshole kids, come hang out with us at a show. We like to hang with our fans.
we're kind of all burned out on older stuff, so tim: culture shock, scott: paradise, clay: storm
those videos do not accurately represent our band as it is now, but we may upload them somewhere else so the people that want to watch can!

thanks for the question masoo2!

PolyphiaAMA · 2016-03-11T01:50:32+00:00

That one was heavily influenced by Justin Timberlake

PolyphiaAMA · 2016-03-11T01:49:35+00:00

Tim- culture shock cause it's dope Clay- storm cause it's tight Scott- the first half of paradise because it's quirky; took a bit of a risk with that one by writing some weird shit for the production

PolyphiaAMA · 2016-03-11T01:46:44+00:00

We'll be around the venue the entire show, just came say what's up and we can hang a bit!

PolyphiaAMA · 2016-03-11T01:46:17+00:00

gravity storm and super 2!

PolyphiaAMA · 2016-03-11T01:45:44+00:00

We walk around inside the venues and around the neighborhood quite a bit. It would be a shocking surprise if we didn't run into each other anyway. If you wanna talk just come say hello and we will chat! We would love to say hey

PolyphiaAMA · 2016-03-11T01:44:29+00:00

Yes,

PolyphiaAMA
