Check out the interview and hear what Savage Jack had say!

SMMO: What's the name of your band, who are the members, and what do they play? Scott: We are Savage Jack Scott Smith: Lead Vocals and Bass Bill Hopf: Drums and Percussion Andy Gorfain: Guitars SMMO: Describe your music to someone who has never heard your music before. Scott: heavy rock, heavy blues, grunge, metal Andy: it's such a mix of all sorts of different styles, it's hard to describe, it's possible to identify 3 or even 4 styles before you even get to the bridge or chorus. SMMO: What's better, stage or studio? Scott: stage: the energy Andy: yes, the stage for sure SMMO: How often, and how long does your band rehearse? Scott: 10 hours a week or more SMMO: When the band is at rehearsal, describe the atmosphere. Scott: usually sincere, hardworking, but fun SMMO: Do you promote more on the internet, or by "word-of-mouth"? Scott: we use both Andy: relying on the internet alone and passively waiting for people to "stumble" across you is just lazy, word of mouth combined with a solid email list in addition to the more traditional internet advertising gets results.... bottom line is the more you do the more you get. SMMO: Are Southern Maryland venues supportive of local bands? Scott: so far we have found them pretty good. SMMO: What can your band offer the Southern Maryland audiences that other bands don't? Scott: all original music, tight, raw sound that rocks! Andy: a solid stage presence and show, you have GOT to see Scott work a room, he's got to be the best front man I've ever seen. SMMO: What styles or genre's most influence your music? Scott: heavy rock/grunge mix as of late Andy: as one's music career evolves, influences can come from anywhere and everywhere. my style used to be very classic rock brittish, you know, Clapton, Beck and Page, I cant say that anymore as I've evolved beyond that. It's important when writing all originals to be your own musician and rely on your own style. SMMO: How can audiences find out more about you, do you have a website? Scott: http://www.savagejack.com , then come see us live. Our bio is on the website. Andy: best way to find out what we're about is to come see us perform live. SMMO: How did the band get its name and how long has the group been around? Scott: We've been together for about 3 years. How we got our name is a secret. Andy: I can tell you how we got the name, but then I'll have to kill you :p SMMO: Describe your band in one sentence. Scott: hard driving with a big back beat SMMO: Most incouraging moment as a band, most discouraging moment. Scott: Springfest early on Andy: that was our first major engagement, the responce was outstanding. We don’t get discouraged, we're too determined to succeed for that. SMMO: Do you perform original songs or cover songs, or both? Scott: original songs only SMMO: What is your secret method of providing the best show possible for the audience? Scott: that's a secret now isn't it? Andy: you'll all just have to come see us perform live to find out first hand. SMMO: What's the bands favorite venue to perform at in Southern Maryland, why? Andy: I cant speak for Scott and Bill, but I prefer large outdoor venues SMMO: Does the band have a CD available, how can we get a copy? Scott: not yet, it's in the works. Andy: we have a 4 song demo at the moment, but that's only for promotional purposes. A full length album is in the works. SMMO: What goals has the band set for its future? Scott: as far as we can take it. SMMO: Has the band received radio or television airplay, tell us about that. Scott: no, but looking forward to it. SMMO: Would you ever consider not playing music? Scott: no! Andy: no! SMMO: What does your talent mean to you? Scott: it's a gift. Andy: agreed there. SMMO: What goals have you set for your bands future? Scott: one step at a time, don't rush the music.
