We just write music as much as possible. RSNG How important is telling a story with your songs to you? But who knows where future songs go? RSNG What does it feel like when a performance is totally in synch with the crowd? Okay, you had a good career going as a solid blues musician. When did Tony Iommi invade your soul and turn you to the dark side?

I took like a year off a couple of years ago, to just really figure out what I wanted to do and I figured now was the time I really want to commit to doing something heavier and put all my energy and time into starting something completely different.

I guess with the solo thing, I still want to play my blues, still want to play that kind of music and that kind of style and still be that kind of performer and do the acoustic shows as well. But my favorite rock bands are all bands.

I wanted to create something with an identity as a band rather than being about me. You have five songs on the EP. Did those come before or after you formed your band? They came before. I recorded ten tracks last year in March. Before I went in to record, I sat by myself for a couple of weeks and I had a drum kit and a bass guitar and just recorded as many demos as I possibly could. I recorded every single song that I could think of and got all my ideas down.

What was your method of elimination? It was really the ones that spoke to me the most. Some of them were more progressed and some of them were more defined in the sound. When you start coming out with all these ideas at once, the similarities start coming out in the writing and you can put them together and create one song.

Was there any temptation to do a blues song, like ones you had done before? But I plan on holding onto them right now and build up the foundation for RavenEye. But there are some lighter songs, some bluesier-based songs, that are definitely coming out in the future. You can be your own worst enemy, especially when it comes to making decisions that will give others a chance to have an opinion of.

This song is the reason RavenEye really came together. It was like some personal therapy or motivation I guess! It was about me leaving England. I think I was struggling at that point in time just trying to figure out who I wanted to be and where I wanted to go and being let down by the people who were with me at that time.

But I started realizing a lot of things I had to give up in that relationship and maybe the best thing was to just run away. Yeah, I do. The bass player, Roland Pritzler, said one day, cause they were telling me to sing and I never wanted to be a singer.

And I wrote it about when I was in America for two months, I had this whole package thing where I had a card to read every day, from friends, like letters, and each day I would open a letter.
