Your name:
Marissa Pinto.
Where are you from?
Sydney, Australia.
Name of band:
Winters End.
Who else is in your band?
My brother
Christopher Pinto.
How would you describe yourselves and your music?
We're
an independent band, described as indie electronic. Our music is 'big'
sounding, with dramatic dark chords, dynamic changes and it aims to take its
listeners on a journey.
Who are your main influences musically?
We draw upon a
lot of influences. Being both 80s babies, we love the electronic sounds of The
Divinyls, Stevie Nicks, Phil Collins, along with more modern influences of Tame
Impala, The Jezabels, Radiohead and The Midnight Juggernauts
What do you hope to achieve in music?
Our aim is to
record music that moves people, that reaches out and signifies that people are
not alone, that we're all connected. We hope to meet all the wonderful
supporters we have worldwide through traveling the world and performing
internationally.
What has been the highlight of your career so far, and
why?
Big highlights for us were being invited to perform at two international
music festivals in 2014. We performed at Indie Week in Toronto, Canada, and
Youbloom Music Festival in LA.
And what’s the moment you want to forget?
In 2014 we were
in our rehearsal studio when we were notified that our friend, who was for all
intents and purposes our brother, had passed away. That is a moment we would
definitely like to forget.
If you had to pick just one of your songs to represent
your music, what would it be and why?
Our current single Mayfair would be the
song that best represents our music. It is anthemic, dynamic, and it builds up
over the course of the song both in angst and sonic layering.
Where can we listen to it?
We just
released our music video for Mayfair which aims to increase awareness about
domestic violence, and to encourage reporting. https://www.
