RealSoundsOK: Weesp Q&A

Your name:

Lex.

Where are you from?

Minsk, Belarus.

Name of band:

Weesp.

Who else is in your band?

Mike (guitar)

Mi (bass)

Gul (drums)

Stak (keys)

How would you describe yourselves?

We make authentic alternative rock, using heavy guitar riffs and fat synth sounds. Although in general it’s rather dark, it’s also very energetic and sincere.

Who are your main influences musically?

Muse, Deftones, Tool, Nine Inch Nails, Joy Division, Black Sabbath, Massive Attack, and many more.

What do you hope to achieve in music?

We just want to be heard. We like to travel with concerts, meet new people, share our feelings about everything through music. We like experimenting and I hope that one day we can develop and bring a bit something really new in the world of music.

What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?

We have recorded a debut LP album, called ‘The Void’ last year and had three European tours since then. We intend to keep that up and make bigger tours, maybe perform at some big festivals soon enough.

And what’s the moment you want to forget?

Oh I can’t remember any for some reason.

If you had to pick just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?

If I have to choose only one - let it be ‘The Void’. A title song from our last album. It’s much less heavy that most of our songs, but, you know, it has one of those atmosphere that are very common for our band's music. It’s easy to feel and hard to describe. It is very unusual song and that is why we love it.

Where can we listen to it?
