I Prevail Interview

Brandon Harris: How far do you feel you have come since the release of your first album? What are the biggest differences?

Steve Menoian: I think we've come a long way. There are things in this business you just can't prepare for. You need to experience them. I'd say we experienced a little bit of everything over the past couple years. We're better song writers, performers, pretty much everything. We still have a long way to go, but I'm happy with how we've all developed.

Brandon Harris: What role does each member of the band play in decision-making process?

Steve Menoian: We each have different areas where we try to focus our attention individually, but we always try to make big decisions as a group. Sometimes we have differences, but at the end of the day we all trust each other and know that everyone wants what best.

Brandon Harris: I love the song Crossroads, what is it like playing that song live?

Steve Menoian: It's great. Kids seem to love to crowd surf to that song. It's awesome looking up and seeing people just floating around the crowd. One of my favorites.
