Your name:
Christopher
Cody Deckard.
Where
are you from?
Houston
Texas, 3rd Coast Born and Texas Raised!
Name
of band:
Like
Monroe.
Who
else is in your band?
Tyree
Johnson is the lead vocalist - he goes by Ty though. Wade Thomas - aka Wade
Concienne - on guitar and vocals. BK - aka Alexander Lofton - on the funky four-string. And Jacob making noise one the drums. =) …. Oh and I play guitar!
How
would you describe yourselves?
Very
serious and passionate about music and never serious about anything else.
We are five friends that get to play shows for people. Honestly when were are
together we forget that we are in a band sometimes.
Who
are your main influences musically?
We
all listen to pretty much the same stuff, Underoath, Saosin, Anberlin, TDWP,
and my biggest is THRICE, but honestly we have been jamming a lot of The Color
Morale's album Know Hope and also Like Moths To Flames. Those two bands are on
fire right now. The thing they both have in common is the honesty, and pure
emotion behind their lyrics and delivery.
What
do you hope to achieve in music?
Honestly
I just want to be able to have this be my only job and source of income. I
don't want a big house or anything. I just want to play music for people and be
that escape for them.
I
used to feel like I had to live up to my grandpa's legacy and then one day
I realized that would 1. Be impossible 2. Would never be truly be fulfilling
and I will never be truly happy.
He
calls me his "star". And I realized as long as he and my family
are proud that's all that matters. That's my true measure of success.
What
has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Probably
the past times I have played Warped Tour and this one show in particular that I got to play with my previous band. It was like a dream. It was my band,
Emarosa, Sky Eats Airplane, A Day To Remember and The Devil Wears Prada. I look back now and I seriously can't believe it.
And
what’s the moment you want to forget?
The
time in-between bands. Super dark. But music allows me to channel all of my
energy into positive actions.
If
you had to choose just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it
be and why?
I
would have to say this song called Black Lungs because its a
journey emotionally and every riff,chug, or power chord is placed with a
purpose to help you along that trip. Sometimes people don't even know how to
feel, so we more or less tell them how to feel through our music.
Where
can we find out more about your music?
Anything
else you’d like to say about your band that I forgot to ask?
Just
get ready for the ride because the inception is coming!
