Brandon Harris: Who is the funny man of the group?

Steve Menoian: The better question is who ISN'T the funny man! Well, we all try to be the funny guy, and I think we all have our moments. If I had to, I'd give the award to our rhythm guitarist Dylan.

Brandon Harris: What is one thing no one knows about you?

Steve Menoian: For me personally, I used to work for a bank. When the band started taking off, I would sit in my office and do band stuff all day with the door closed. I still chuckle thinking back to that. What a weird contrast.

Brandon Harris: What is I Prevail doing this summer? Any crazy plans for 2016?

Steve Menoian: We're headlining this summer on the "Strike the Match" tour. It's about 30 shows all over the country. We also have some awesome plans for the fall that we can't announce yet. But we're stoked and I think our fans will be too. Other than that, we're going to have a ton of new music and content coming out very soon.

Brandon Harris: I Prevail has a new album on the way. What is in store for us with this new creation?

Steve Menoian: I really believe this album takes a step up in terms of song-writing and maturity. The hooks are catchier and the heavy parts are heavier. We have very focused lyrical messages. We also took some chances that were a little outside of the box. If you liked our EP, I promise that you're gonna love this album. If you don't know us at all, I'd say just give it a shot. I think there's something for everyone.
