Inspired #356: BREEZE
Hull four-piece BREEZE return with their second single ‘Eyes Wide Open’, we asked the band to talk us through the inspirations of the both the band, and the track itself.
Top three musical inspirations and why?
Oasis, Kasabian, The Beatles
After watching supersonic the documentary and hearing Oasis they where the inspiration that got us lot into a band to produce rock n roll and Kasabian there sound is just mega merging old school hip hop with rock n roll which all of us are massive rock n roll fans and massive old school hip hop fans albums like west Ryder pauper lunatic asylum and velociraptor are some of The biggest influences in our tunes. And I mean if your in a indie rock band I don’t know one person who doesn’t like the Beatles there the legends that started it all I’ve grown up listening to the Beatles all my life my dad was a massive fan so all of us are huge fans of the Beatles they where definitely the reason music play such a large part in our lives.
Is a there a movie that inspire you and why?
Ay if your into your indie you’ve gotta have a favourite movie or genre of movie I’m into my classics like Any of Quentin Tarantino film/films he’s co produced from pulp fiction to from dusk till dawn the music in them is just Mega! You know he chooses his music before making the film that’s why his tunes are so original and quirky with the scene fucking mental.
Is there a city that inspires you ?
Liverpool is the city to be the music scene is just mental over there ! Manchester as well the amount of bands that came out of Manchester is mental especially in the 90s which for us as a band is the best era for indie from the dress sense to the music to just how life was all just seemed mega I’m glad indie has taken a full circle and is back the bag.
Who is the most inspiring person to you and why ?
John Lennon for a song writer the amount of songs he has wrote and for most of them to be class tunes it’s just unheard of and the the variety of genres he produced and still made them hits is just unreal his songs have stood the test of times.
What were your inspirations for eyes wide open ?
The tunes was inspired by a Somebody moving on in life for the better whilst your still stuck in the same position as you left off. (Albert Anderson) Eyes wide open just sort of came to me I had come up with the chords and melody ages ago but somthing was missing so the original plan for the tune was for it to be a bside acoustic song until I was sat outside playing it to myself and that when I heard it the mega Lead in the tune it was in my head and I just started humming and from that day I knew it was going to be a mega tune so I recorded the demo that day and even from hearing the demo I knew this is the one. That’s when I knew I wanted it to be a mass anthem that gave people hope and was relatable and as corny as it sounds relationship problems are the most relatable thing.
How would you like to inspire people
I want my music my sound to change the course of history I want people to be able to here a drum beat or a certain guitar sound or my voice and be like yeah that’s breeze you get me I want to be remeber for somthing great I want my song to still be played in 50 years time And for people to know the lyrics of my tunes Imagine if your songs actually mean somthing to Someone it’s got to be the best feeling ain’t it.
