Over the years, we have realized that all we could ever offer anyone was honesty. This was evident in our music, relationships, and our lives. The music stemming from sosaveme is a reflection of our passion to share what lies within our hearts- whether it be the good or the bad that resides in them. It is this kind of honesty that unites us to those who listen to our music.
Like most bands, we've toured, slept in a van, practically bought that entire van over again part by part, played shows for two kids, played shows for hundreds of kids, ran out of money, and battled life on the road since 2005. However, through all these highs and lows, it's the people that have come to matter most. If there was one thing we would like to be known for, it would be the band that people actually knew as genuine, caring individuals; not just distant performers on a stage. The ability for us to connect to those around us has a direct reflection upon our lives, and consequently, our music.
People always ask us, "What style of music do you play?". This question poses one of the toughest questions for any band to define these days. However, we once heard someone describe us as "passionate and aggressive indie-rock". This description seemed to have enough correct adjectives to get the interest we were hoping to receive. We have been describing ourselves as "passionate and aggressive indie-rock" ever since.
Since our last full length release of "A Ghost at Sea" during August of 2009, we've heard a lot of people say they enjoy the whole album- from start to finish. Our goal with "A Ghost at Sea" was to simply reflect an honest portrayal of our hope, our doubts, our triumphs, and our failures. This album was the first time we had assembled that amount songs for one record. We crafted "A Ghost at Sea" as a complete project; not just individual songs thrown together to fill up a CD. Rather than viewing each song as a separate entity, this album was something that could be put on repeat and take the listener on a journey of different moods and styles. We feel like this was accomplished, but leave it to the listener to decided and form their own opinion.
The future of sosaveme poses many promising avenues: new songs are being written and tours are being booked. We've stepped into a new phase of business orientation to support the artistic vision in our hearts. It seems as if doors are opening for us; every time we do something we try to bring our best attitudes, full of optimism and joy. We believe these new avenues and optimistic attitudes, mixed with hard work, is enough to keep sosaveme going and growing for a long time to come.
These are our thoughts and opinions; as always, feel free to develop your own about us.
Thanks for reading,
sosaveme-
