Your name:
Craig
Miller.
Where are you from?
Lancaster,
Lancashire, England.
Name of band:
Star
Tiger.
Who else is in your band?
Mike
Denton on the drums, and Sharon Miller on bass. And I play guitar and sing.
Sort of.
How would you describe yourselves?
We're
an experimental metal band. Our songs our typically quite long, and can go from
loud bursts of noise, to quiet, almost ambient sections.
Who are your main influences musically?
All
sorts of stuff. I'd say things like Isis, Neurosis, Opeth and Mastodon were
early influences on the songs, and I just seem to be influenced by more and
more varied music as we carry on writing. These days it can be anything from
classical music, to post-rock, to black metal. Steve Hackett from Genesis and
Adam Jones from Tool were also big influences on how I choose to play guitar.
Lyrically, we tend to write about mythical creatures rather than everyday life.
What do you hope to achieve in music?
To make
music that we're happy with, to keep pushing ourselves to go in different
directions and come up with different ideas, and to have the opportunity to
play live and have people listen to us.
What has been the highlight of your career
so far, and why?
Our
most recent gig, I think. It was at the ZombieVille event in Morecambe. Just
every aspect, right down to seeing our name on the t-shirt, was a very surreal
experience.
And what's the moment you want to forget?
I don't
think we've had any really bad moments. Yet, anyway. We've had minor problems
and technical issues, but we've just managed to handle it.
If you could choose just one of your songs
to represent your music, what would it be and why?
I
think, at the moment, it would probably be 'The Incident'. It's about seven
minutes long, and there's plenty of light and dark in there, so I think it's
quite a good introduction to us.
Where can we listen to it?
It's
one of the songs on our ReverbNation page: http://www.reverbnation.com/startiger
Where can we find out more about your music?
On the
ReverbNation page, or any of the following:
Anything else you'd like to say about your
band that I forgot to ask?
Just
that we really appreciate any sort of attention that our music gets. We just
write this stuff because we like it, and we enjoy playing it, so for other
people to come back and tell us how much they like it is an amazing feeling. So
to everyone who's given us a listen, thanks. Also that we're currently getting
a bunch of songs together ready to record, so there will be more music from us
coming your way soon.
