Interview with Steve Ouchie about The Ouchies EP Release

Love Music : Let's talk a bit about your music and what is the secret behind your band's success ?

I'll have to give that one to our love of music and ability to tolerate each other. We've been a band since 2005. Things can change a lot in that long of a time frame. We have our differences, but have all remained close friends over the years. We always played the underground scene and never really got serious about things until now. People really engaged with our music and encouraged us to push a little harder.


Love Music : Can you please tell our readers more about the band members and their role in the band ?

Yes, I'm on Vocals and Guitar - Then you've got Chase on Bass doing chorus vocals on "War On The Commons" - and Mike on Drums / Vocals. The EP is mostly me singing, but I do split vocals on a few songs with Mike when we play other songs live.


Love Music : Please tell us more about your new EP ?

Sure. It was released this year. Self titled: The Ouchies EP. We had a great time recording it at Glow In The Dark Studios - Atlanta, GA. We worked with Matt Goldman. He is an amazing producer who really shares a passion for both music and the process of recording in general. He really knows his stuff.


Love Music : Any new projects coming up ?

Yes, we are working on two music videos and plan to record a full length album next year. Other than that.. just playing some dates across the US.


Love Music : Where do you see your band in five to 10 years time ?

Hopefully still playing. It's a big part of our lives. We'd love to play with more of the bands that we looked up to in our younger years.


Love Music : Do you have any advice for anyone wanting to be a part of your band?

Yeah. You can be in our band as long as you carry all of our gear around and set us up each night. Just kidding. Start your own band. Find others who share your passion and enjoy the ride. There is nothing like looking back at where you were and where you are now.


Love Music : If you could perform anywhere, in the world, where would it have to be?

We love the USA of course. There are many great places in the world. However, I'd love to visit  and play in Japan, Germany, Australia. Those stick out to me.


Love Music : Have you set some goals to achieve as Rock band?

Yes, record some decent music. Check.


Love Music : Please share with us your proudest moments ?

Band moments or life moments? I'd say doing this interview with you. 


Love Music : Awesome!  How can people find you and follow you online?

We are all over the web now. Most every major streaming network has us. We are on Google play, Apple Music, iTunes, Spotify, Deezer, Bandcamp, Reverb Nation, etc.. You can also find us on: facebook.com/theouchies
