The Breakdown
In this conversation, I chat with members Dan and Tanner of the band Waterfront to discuss their background, education, and signing with Affiant Records. We talk about their musical influences and how they came together as a band. They also share their experiences in high school and university, particularly in relation to their music education. The guys highlight the benefits of working with Affiant Records and the opportunities it has provided for their music career. We also discuss their influences from the metal and rock scene, the evolution of their sound, and the balance between catchy melodies and heavier elements in their music. They also talk about their collaborative songwriting process and how they navigate tensions and creative differences within the band.  We talk about the challenge of touring, hockey of course (go Carolina Hurricanes), what the Calgary Stampede is and the possibility of Waterfront playing at a Calgary Flames game. There is also a bet laid upon the feet of the Ryan's.
