Music Time: Faith & Scars
by Jesse Wilson
I
got to talk to rock band Faith & Scars from Raleigh, North
Carolina which
includes: Alyse
Zavala
doing
the lead vocals,
Roger Liverman
playing
guitar
and vocals , Matthew Faircloth
slapping the bass
guitar, Mike Atticus shredding the
guitar and Aaron
Baker pounding
the drums.
Starting it off
with a fun question I asked who
would win in a
fist fight in the band and Roger says, “I really hope we
never have to find out, but I’m 90% sure Alyse would
wipe the floor with us.” When asked where the band
name came from Aaron adds in, “Whenever you burn
Page 12
yourself with Ramen noodles, it leaves behind scars
that you will always remember. But you will always
have Faith in the next bowl you make. Never give up.” I
sure will remember that the next time!
The band listens to all genres of rock music, anything from Paramore and Fall
Out Boy to August Burns Red
and Megadeth.
Although, Aaron says he is a
big One Direction fan though.
I hope he was
just
kidding.
Besides
playing shows and
recording in a
studio, they like
to do normal
things also like
reading, traveling, and being
with friends.
On a more serious side, if F&S sees any negative
comments about them they just ignore and stay positive;
As a band should do. One may ask If I am new to the
band why do I need to see
Faith & Scars? Alyse comments, “ If you want a lot
of stage energy, original
music, lyrics with depth
and meaning, badass guitar solos, and a band that
plays their heart out every
show, then Faith & Scars
is for you and we can’t
wait to see you there!”
Finally, they would
like to make some announcements. They will
be playing a lot of shows
in the very near future.
Their biggest show to date
will be Aug 2 at Ziggy’s in
Winston-Salem. F&S will
be opening for Blameshift
and Fit For Rivals, both
have which have been
playing on Warped tour.
We are also going in
the studio this week to record the last two songs for
our first EP, Edge of Fate,
which we hope to release
on Aug. 30!
continue from page 9-FTA tell them? What makes
you different from any other band?
The biggest thing is that we genuinely love what we
do. We put it all out there on stage every single time we
play. It doesn’t matter how many people are there we
give it everything we have every single night we play.
We want to make sure you get your money’s worth. You
paid for entertainment...we’re going to entertain you
both visually and audibly. Not to mention we like to
make our fans part of the show. Come out, we’ll dance
with you, teach you some sing along parts, maybe throw
some confetti and get everyone all messy, I heard silly
string was going to make an appearance soon...basically
we’re down for anything and love to have a good time!
How do you feel about your local music scene? What
would you like to see change?
The local music scene has been on a roller coaster
ride lately. Some of the hands down best bands from
Charlotte have recently split up. It’s always sad when
you see bands that have been together for years split
up. You come to know them, love them, support them,
follow them, witness their struggles and their successes
which make it that much worse when they decide to go
separate ways. One thing I will say is that the scene is
pretty supportive and tight. We all help each other out
as much as we can. It’s all about helping each other out
and trying to get everyone to that “next level”
As we finish this interview is there anything you
would like to add?
We just want to take a second to thank Sceneazine
for having us do this interview. We appreciate the support and exposure. We would also like to thank our
friends, family, significant others, fans, promoters,
booking agents, venues, bands, radio stations, etc that
have supported us over the years. Without you guys
none of what we have or will accomplish would be possible.
If you have never heard these guys go check them
out at their website or facebook page. These guys are
awesome and headed for the top. Go catch them so one
day you can brag that you knew them back when.
