MEET Mozart Season! Brand New Exclusive Interview!
Meet MOZART SEASON - recently signed to Equal Vision Records, the band has nearly five years of experience behind them. Their debut EP with Equal Vision Records, Nightmares, will be released on July 20th. The album will be available exclusively through MerchNow, digital retailers, and the band. Mozart Season will next embark on their biggest tour yet, sharing the stage with veterans Gwen Stacy and Lower Definition. We had the opportunity to speak with guitar player Benton Christensen which you can read below!
Please start off by introducing yourselves; Name, Age, and how "Mozart Season" got its start.
Mozart Season is: Nate Richardson (23), Sam Trux (22), Me-Benton Christensen (21), Troy Cooper (21), and Luke Allen (25)
Mozart Season got its start officially in 2004 as just another group of kids trying to be in a band and play shows and emerged as a band willing to do what it took to achieve success. Starting off by playing the local shows that were offered to us, we eventually pushed ourselves to the headlining spot on sold out shows in town. We broke our backs making sure that we were always moving up. The band took a hiatus in 2006 due to many reasons that seem to plague every band, ranging from money issues to bad band chemistry. The band then got back together in 2008 with a few new faces and an entirely renewed excitement and drive to succeed, bringing forth what we consider to be our “beginning”. Those of us from the original line up realized that this band was more important to us than we ever understood, and with the new faces in the band, we knew we had what it took to go farther than we ever had before. We self wrote, recorded, and released an EP called “Apotheosis” while touring the country with the only goal of spreading our name and gaining our fan base back. The story goes on from there.
Your album comes out in 17 days (and 6 hours, 2 minutes, and 5 seconds from now - but who's counting?). What can you tell us about this album?
This album is the readers digest version of the past year or two of Mozart Season. It has three of our favorite tracks off of “Apotheosis” and three brand new songs to show the progression of us as musicians. The songs from “Apotheosis” are songs that we felt deserved a little bit more marketing than we were able to give them as an unsigned band, and songs that we feel will still latch on to our listeners, new and old. The new songs are our current pride and joy. We spent a lot more time in the writing process and the pre-production process, which allowed us to enter the recording studio with a better idea of what we wanted our songs to sound like. The songs turned out to be the most diverse, technical, and (in our opinion) the best songs we’ve released to date, we literally CAN’T WAIT for everyone to hear them.

ENVY ON THE COAST Calls It Quits!
Adding to the list of bands breaking up as of recently is now Envy On The Coast. Band member, Ryan decided to blog about everything. You can read the blog below:
To anyone and everyone who's ever supported us:
The day has come to pull down that curtain down. Sal and Jer sat down with Brian and I about a week ago and informed us that they are leaving Envy on the Coast. They explained that they are no longer happy being a part of this, and there was nothing Brian and I could do or say to change that. Because Envy on the Coast was founded upon the musical and personal relationships between the four of us, Brian and I have decided that we would rather move forward rather than finding musicians to replace Sal and Jer.
I can't say I'm all that shocked by this, nor am I upset. At some point in your life, you have to stop saying, "But I never expected this to happen to me!?" For me, that day came when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. Fortunately, after she beat it, I took with me the knowledge that anything and everything can and will happen to you...and you should welcome those hurdles because they will make you stronger. At the end of the day, some marriages fail, some people win the lottery, and some people get struck by lightening. You can trust someone with every ounce of yourself, but a lot of men are the center of their own universe, and that's something I've learned to cope with. I shouldn't have said I wasn't upset. There are aspects of this whole situation that have upset me, but there's no use in dwelling on that when we have so much to be proud of.
When we started this band, we had no idea what we were doing, nor what we wanted to accomplish. Like most bands, we hopped in a van and vowed to stick together and figure it out along the way. In a very short time frame, we decided we wanted to preserve integrity, credibility, and put our art at the forefront above all else. We knew turning down certain opportunities would sometimes leave us broke and maybe regretful, for some of us, but we knew it wasn't within our capability to compromise. Sure, we did a lot of things we were apprehensive about at first, but on 'Lowcountry', our most recent effort, I can proudly say we made something that was 100% us. We played ball for a few years, but not on that record; we did what we wanted. We wrote the songs we wanted to write, the way wanted to write them. We shot the video we wanted with the creative individuals who we entrusted to do it with. We did it all our way. I don't care how many copies it sold, because I've got a lot of acquaintances who have sold a shit-ton more records than I may ever sell, but they don't sleep as well as I do at night.
I've toured with the flavors of the week. I've watched teenagers place "band dudes" up on pedestals, not for the music they make, but for the aura they omit. I've seen the looks in our fans eyes. I know that this little band meant something to you. I know that all of our sacrifice, all of our struggle, and all of our hard work was worth it. I know that we didn't have to tweet what the fuck we were doing every hour of the day in order to stay connected with our fans. They stayed connected to us through our music, regardless of where we were or what we were doing. You understood. You got it.
Brian and I decided a long time ago that we wanted to be artists. That can mean a lot of things, but to us it just means we want to keep making art and music together. And that's what we plan on doing. I doubt anyone's mentally ready to swallow "what's next" yet, so we'll just leave it at that for now. In the coming weeks, we'll be announcing our three final shows and together, we will celebrate the the death of something beautiful. Thank you all for being a part of this.
