Bandictionary archives: New Years Day interview
I interviewed Ash Costello of New Years Day on June 29th, 2007 at the Warped Tour in Pomona, CA. A common theme with these old interviews is looking back and realizing there are a lot of things I’d never ask if I was doing the interview today, but I think it’s still interesting to include those questions because the whole thing is sort of a time capsule. I believe this interview was also a mix of my questions and questions a friend who was more familiar with the band sent to me to ask.
What band are you most excited to be with this summer?
Coheed and Cambria and Bad Religion.
Have record labels treated you differently because of your age?
Not really, no. They really don’t. I think that in this day and age, there are some bands that are playing bigger stages than us that are younger than us, so I don’t think labels discriminate against age.
What do you think about Paramore?
I think they’re great! I respect what they do a lot, and Hayley has a kickass voice, plus she’s really cute! They’re awesome, and I hope that someday we can do an all-girls tour kind of thing, like all girl’s bands. There needs to be more women in rock. There’s never been enough.
