Heaveneers Q&A

Your name: 

Dylan Fellows.

Where are you from? 

Atlanta, Georgia (Formerly Athens, Georgia).

Name of band: 

Heaveneers.

Who else is in your band? 

Just me right now! But I'm looking for a live band.

How would you describe yourselves? 

I'd describe Heaveneers as rock music that doesn't fall into the usual trap of topics and sounds. I've really started writing about a lot of science fiction topics and experimenting with different tones, so hopefully that's made the music somewhat unique.

Who are your main influences musically? 

Muse, Queens of the Stone Age, Nine Inch Nails.

What do you hope to achieve in music? 

I'd like to play a show at the Tabernacle, in Atlanta. 

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

Well Heaveneers is pretty new, so I haven't had too many experiences, but I'd say that recording the songs on my EP was by far the most fun I've had making music in at least 5 years.

And what’s the moment you want to forget? 

Mixing the song Fascination was a pain, but I suppose it turned out alright. Sometimes songs just give you a lot of trouble.

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

I'd pick the Old Guard. It's definitely my most popular and it is really driving.

Where can we listen to it?

Where can we find out more about your music?

I'm on pretty much every streaming service, but you can also go to my Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/Heaveneers/), Twitter (https://twitter.com/Heaveneers), or if you ask nice enough I'll give you my phone number and we can text. 

Anything else you’d like to say about your band/music that I forgot to ask? 

You covered most of the bases! I'm just getting into the swing of things with Heaveneers, so thanks for listening! 

Visc returns with title track of new album

SYNTH-rock artist Visc has returned from the wilderness with new track Hired Guns.

Dylan Fellows - the Athens, Georgia, musician behind the project - took a step back from Visc last November and put out what was going to be an album out as the seemingly final EP Seasons.

But he confirmed he was back working on the Hired Guns album in April and has delivered the title track.

He told RealSoundsOK: "I try to write about things besides love and anger and other boring emotions. I usually prefer to write about a character, but put a new spin on that character. 

"So for my next album I am writing about hired guns. But instead of writing about the realities of their job, I am writing about the problems that no one would really think about (and ones that probably don't exist). For instance, I have a song planned about being a hired gun who can't recognise faces, or a hired gun that has a fear of blood. 

"Like Original Rebels, I wanted to take an evil character (or a misunderstood character) and really get to know them.

"The title track is more of an anthem for this album, and is the only song that actually talks about what mercenaries actually do. I've begun to focus more on guitar and bass and have been experimenting with recording lots of harmonies. Kind of a new direction for me, while keeping the same simplistic synth-pop base."
