Introducing BREAK THROUGH BEAUTIFUL

by Sophie Chapman

After opening for Smashing Pumpkins it can only get bigger for the men from Denver and as this interview shows Trevor Clock has some big plans in mind (including one choice that may surprise you for who he'd like to collaborate with....) and how a plan to get shot out of a cannon was stopped...

Sonic: For people who haven’t heard of you, how would you describe your sound?
 
Trevor/BTB: It's melodic/alternative hard rock, but I grew up with more electronic and synthesized sounds like R&B and Hip-Hop, so we are slowly starting to introduce more of those influences. We would like to show that we aren't just going to stick to one genre; ever-expanding our listener range.
 
Sonic: What can we expect from the upcoming LP?
 
Trevor: We will be releasing some dark rock songs, some dark electronic songs, and we'll be doing some releases relative to what we've been doing, like our current tracks "To The Top" and "Swell", which define our current sound. Our hopes are to make our wide variety of songwriting flow together in a way that makes our sound acceptable for just about any listener, new and old.
 
Sonic: What was it like opening up for Smashing Pumpkins and being on the Warped Tour?
 
Trevor/: Those were the biggest crowds and biggest stages yet. It was a trip to say the least. It's hard not to get a little overwhelmed when you are pulling up next to semi trucks full of equipment. Both were amazing experiences. We met a ton of great people and had a great time, although some of our gear got stolen when we opened for Smashing Pumpkins, which was a little discouraging to say the least. Still totally worth it though.
 
Sonic: Can we get a hint as to what the video for ‘Another Way’ will be like?
 
Trevor/BTB: I wanted to get shot out of a cannon, but I don't think the rest of the guys are too comfortable with that. You can definitely expect high energy. We're going to bring the same fire that we have during our live performances, so that people all around the world who can't make it out to our shows, can truly get a feel for what we're about.
 
Sonic: Any plans to hit UK shores?
 
Trevor/BTB: We are going be doing our US tour come late spring of this year. We want to make it to the UK as soon as possible but as of right now there are no immediate plans to head out of the country. We'll see what happens after this US run.
 
Sonic: Finally, who would you really love to tour or work with?
 
Trevor: Tough question. I could probably name a hundred bands that I'd love to tour or work with. A few of them would be Radiohead, Muse, 30 Seconds to Mars, Thrice, Drake, Craig David, and Angels and Airwaves.
