How did the band come up with the name 'Miguided'?
Lauren: Well when we all met and decided to become a band we
thought instead of starting straight into songs and the music side we wanted to
get to know each other. This is when we started to really understand the
backgrounds of each other and that we all at some point had some problems with
peer pressure and going the wrong way with our lives. It was then we realised
that we had been misguided through life. And just like that we had a band
title.
Jack: Oh great thanks for making
me sound like a pussy! I sooo wasn't peer pressured, It was more like I pressured my friends!
Lauren: Oh please! You told us
that your friend pushed you until you cried to have a drag of his spliff and
bunk off school!
I can see that things can get quite discussed in the band, are there
many problems that arise as a band?
Josh: Well every band squabbles? I mean you wouldn't be a proper
rock n' roll band if you didn't argue.. A LOT! The main problems we have are
like food and stuff, when were on the road you start to miss certain things, I
haven't had a Twinky in weeks since we left America.
Jack: Mmmm I could really do with a pulled pork and stuffing
sandwich, Grandma' style!
Josh: See.. opposite. Can you never agree with anything, haha!
So you never really argue about the music?
Lauren: Oh of course but it has a
different atmosphere because we all want to do right with regards to the
music, where as the food is just because we don't see eye to eye..
No I mean with the music we have
different ideas, Some of us want a more Metalica vibe, some of us want a Paramore approach and some have no taste at all..
Josh: Hey Tenatious D are brilliant!
Lauren: They're a complete joke Josh and you know it.
How did you become a band?
Jack: God, How
long have you got? So We were all in Brooklyn at the time, I guess feeling a
little homesick and we found this really nice 'British' Pub. It was so
stereotypical of London it was funny! Anyway, the most holy song came on, which
isn't really recoginised by Americans that much..
lauren: WOAAAAAH
LIVING ON A PRAYER
Jack: Lauren man,
I was creating some suspense! But yeah Living on a prayer came on and it was
karaoke, We all rushed to the mic's and then realised that was going to be the
start of something LEGENDARY!
So this is a question
for each of you, what band inspired you the most to be in a band?
Josh: Mines Led
Zeppelin, Legendary! Classic all the way.
Lauren: Mine would have to be something like The Red
Hot Chilli Peppers, there such an amazing band, I just feel that in the way
they cooperate and use their music as an advantage. It amazes me!
Jack: I'm
probably a bit more modern, Papa Roach is mine. I think their view on music is
beautiful and the music they create is just, it makes me speechless!
Wow you all have very
different taste of music for this genre, what made you become an Alternative
metal band?
Lauren: well
because i'm the lead singer, and I'm not the best at screamo (Which most bands
are now) we thought we should not embarrass ourselves, the instrumental music
we create is quite hard so we thought we could put ourselves into that
category.
A good start. Please update with changes as we discussed.
