Your names:
Grant Beaudry
(Drums) and Matt Caloca
(Vocals).
Where are you
guys from?
Los Angeles,
California.
Name of band:
Closer To
Closure
Who else is in
your band?
Chris Crane
(Bass) and Matt Medina (Guitar).
How
would you describe yourselves?
(Grant) Genre:
Post-hardcore/alternative/rock
(Matt) We're a
very energetic heavy rock band consisting of four guys that have a lot of
stories and messages to share through our music.
Who
are your main influences musically?
(Grant) Each
person in the band definitely has their own influences when it comes to music.
I listen to bands like Paramore, Fall Out Boy, Tonight Alive, The Story So Far,
and Periphery just to name a few.
(Matt) Musically
our influences are all over the place. We like to listen to a lot different
genres of music like indie, alternative, pop, hip-hop/RnB, metal, hardcore,
classic rock, and modern day rock. During the writing process we all have the
freedom to put in a piece of our own influences individually and I feel like
that's what truly solidifies our sound. I have way too many influences to list
but just to name a few: The Beatles, Eddie Van Halen, Justin Timberlake, Panic!
at the Disco, Escape the Fate, and pretty much every band Grant listed.
What
do you hope to achieve in music?
(Matt) Our main
goal is to have a connection with as many people as we possibly can through our
music. All of our songs have a story to tell and a message to be spread, and if
any of our songs can inspire, motivate, or even bring hope to somebody going
through or has already gone through a similar situation, we know we're serving
our true purpose as artists. We plan to take Closer To Closure as far as we
possibly can and we have no plans of stopping any time soon.
What
has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?
(Grant) It would
have to be the Attack Attack! tour so far. It was amazing sharing the stage
each night for a month with Attack Attack!, The Plot In You, Get Scared, and
Dangerkids. Touring the whole country was amazing too.
(Matt)
Definitely touring with Attack Attack! I was able to see places I never thought
I'd see in my life and also had the pleasure of meeting so many amazing people.
I had the time of my life on that tour and it'll be an experience I'll never
forget.
And
what’s the moment you want to forget?
(Grant) I don't
have any to be honest. I believe that every single thing happens for a
legitimate reason since the start of the band.
(Matt) Nothing.
I treasure every moment with this band. Even the bad moments, because in the
end it's all apart of our journey and every moment makes our story special.
If
you had to choose just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it
be and why?
(Grant) Our
newest single called 'Places' because it perfectly represents the direction
we're going with our future releases.
(Matt) It's the
most recent song we put out called 'Places.' This song means a lot to me and
it's technically the first song I've ever written with this band. I feel like
this song best represents our band because it's about following your dreams and
never giving up, no matter how many people try to tell you that you can't
achieve it. I grew up with a lot of people telling me I could never make being
in a band my career and to stop wasting my time and get a real job. This song
is about me proving everybody who said I couldn't do it wrong, because I did
get to live my dream by going on tour with Attack Attack all around the United
States! And now that I got a little taste of what it's like to live it, I'm
just working day by day to make that dream a reality for my band full-time. Our
band's purpose is to inspire people with positive messages, and following your
dreams is one we strongly encourage to everybody.
