Band name:
The Shallow Seas.
Who is in your band?
We consist of three of
upstanding gentlemen; Steven Bertolo on bass, Jasper Bendici on guitar &
vocals, and Vincent Festa on the drums & vocals as well.
Where are you from?
The three of us live in a smaller city just north of
Toronto in Woodbridge, Ontario.
How would you describe yourselves?
We can’t, and even if we could, it would be an
incoherent, chaotic, clutter of worlds. We’re just a few friends brought together by a love for
music… “Just as few lost souls swimmin’ in a fish bowl, year after year.”
Who are your main influences musically?
Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The Doors, and The Beatles are
some that come to mind, but too many more to list them all… Definitely can’t leave
out Hendrix.
What do you hope to achieve in music?
We just want to be able to do our thing and play our
music wherever we’re allowed for as long as we can as loud as we can. Obviously the dream is
to be touring around the world playing in sold-out venues, but realistically speaking we
want to keep creating music that we love and hope that others feel what we feel when we
play for them; music is about bringing people together after all.
What has been the highlight of your career so far, and
why?
It sounds funny to even be using the word career because
of how fresh everything still is. Playing our first gig together as a band was a pretty
cool experience and recently we put out our first EP ‘Into the Barrow’ which we’re really
excited about. Any time you’re doing something new or something you’ve never done
there’s a level of anxiety and excitement that comes with it.
And what’s the moment you want to forget?
We had some studio time a few months and we got to record
a couple of songs free of charge. That was a great experience… until something
happened to the work we did in those few weeks and could not recover the material from
the studio, which was rough.
If you could choose just one of your songs to represent
your music, what would it be and why?
The song the best represents our music would probably be
‘Many Faces’ which is a track off the EP (Into the Barrow). ‘Many Faces’ is arguably
our best song at this point (or so we think) and it’s one that a lot of work went into,
maybe more than any of our other songs. The format of the song is pretty cool and not
something you see too much in music these days. The key there is differentiation, something
we want to achieve as a band with our music.
