Dave Cormier Q&A

Your name:
Dave Cormier.

Where are you from?
Victoria, BC, Canada.

Who else is in your band?
My former guitarist Will Peters, Christian Stevenson bass, Darcy Phillips keyboards and Taylor Allum drums.

How would you describe yourselves and your music?
Straight up blues rock/rock band with a modern day sound.

Who are your main influences musically?
Just a mishmash of styles from Johnny Lee Hooker to The Faces, the Stones, the Clash, the Black Keys.

What do you hope to achieve in music?
I want to build a career of good quality listenable music. I'm more about the music less about the money or fame.

What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Being played on FM Radio stations across Canada. Never really thought that would happen.

And what’s the moment you want to forget?
All the naysayers who said it would and could never happen! Took the fun out of it for a while.

If you had to pick just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?
What's My Name is the song being played on the radio here right now. Songs are stories of the things I've seen and heard. Sometimes good things sometimes bad I have no real attachment to any song except for the moment in time they capture.
Songs come to me in dreams sometimes in the middle of the night or while daydreaming. They come fast and surprisingly complete. It's like a never ending radio always playing in my head.

Heaven The Axe Q&A

Your name:

Phoebe Pinnock.

Where are you from?

Originally from Wagga Wagga now based in the thriving musical metropolis Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Name of band:

Heaven The Axe.

Who else is in your band?

A bunch of hairy scary metal heads. Steve Watts is my main musical collaborator he is the Axe man.

How would you describe yourselves?

Australia's toughest female fronted hard rock metal band. '

Who are your main influences musically?

Pantera, Slipknot, Tracy Bonham, Napalm Death, Aborted, Britney. 

What do you hope to achieve in music?

We are writing and recording our second release currently and would like to tour overseas and connect with other cultures. I'm a storyteller with my music and I hope to inspire and entertain through song, albeit a very heavy sound. I want to be a shining light from a dark place.

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

I would imagine touring with Rosé Tattoo was a great experience for us, but we are now currently touring with our own personal musical idols Frankenbok, King Parrot, Dreadnaught and Abreact and I would say that the friendships there are definitely the highlight. Always the friendships that are forged through musical respect and an unconditional personal acceptance by people you share a passion with are the greatest elements of my career.

And what’s the moment you want to forget?

I don't regret any of it. It's all a journey and any mistakes made are just opportunities to create a new possibility of excellence in all areas of your life through focussing on music.

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

It would have to be Enemy, which we made a video clip for with our great friend Thanassi Panagiotaros and our fans helped out too!
