Bryan: State your name and what you play in the band?
Chris: I'm Chris, and I do the vocals and I write the words.

Bryan: What made you sign to Evil Water Records?
Chris: We had some other offers on the floor, but none as free and as giving at the same time as the one EWR proposed to us...and Kevin and Mike are awesome doods.

Bryan: Where did the name Eandi from?
Chris: I was reading a poem by a famous published author and I'm always hesistant to say who it was, because im not 100%, but it was within a poem...furthermore, the writer compared the vowels e and i to his wife and him...he basically was implying that you are what you love, and you cant write without vowels...and in the vowel line, e comes before, right before i, so they are next to each other...also (probably) implying the closeness people share when involved in relationships...so we decided to just make that idea one word...its pronounced as if it were to be, "e and i" but its
spelled eandi. haha

Bryn: You guys are finshing up your new EP. What can we except from it?
Chris: Yeah, we actually go in about 5 hours from now, back to the studio to do the last track, then in about a week, we remix and remaster and will then put it out a little bit after that. As far as music wise, Travis and Jake work really well together so you can expect heaviness with tons of melody, but yet still more progressive than most other bands that get held into that "screamo" genre, we just call ourselves a rock band or a hardcore band-- so you can expect hardcore elements and rocknroll elements...you can expect 2 brand new songs, "The Safest You've Ever Been" and "What if The Catskills Moved To California". You can expect it to do the speaking for itself, its gonna be a grenade! ahahahahhaha.

Bryan: How does the writing process go for band?
Chris: As far as strings go (bass and two guitars) Travis and Jake, our two guitarists, generally, come up with ideas and work off each other to write initial riffs or entire songs then Isaac (who recently left the band for personal reasons) would put his bass touch to it and obviously Adam would put his drumming touch to it...I come last. I trust those doods enought to make good enough jam that I can place my own touch to willingly....which they do very well...I write the lyrics, no one else does, not because they cant write, but because I prefer them to be personal and about me. ahahaha I'm a selfish lyric hog! ahaaha. but yeah, since I cant strum guitars and hit snares I get to spew words which is awesome... so it basically goes, guitars then bass then drums, then I come in and just buffer the song, to each something bigger and better or twist it completely.

Bryan: What do you plan on doing to support the new album?
Chris: A lot of self promotion, as usual, all of us doods will be online, being dorks talking to our evolving fanbase to get the news out...we are very nice, talk to us if you read this...we wanna talk to anybody, fans or whoever... running ads in zines, making banners, ya know, every band does this, there is a pretty solid approach that every band takes...flyers, ads, word of mouth, internet, you get the idea...

Bryan: Any favorite bands that you have played with?
Chris: Actually I'm gonna answer this in a wierd way...recently we played the whiskey, with a few good bands...but i remember going into sound check thinking "The Calico Systems record wasnt all too good I wanna see if they are anything at all decent" so I watched their soundcheck...they were nuts just to watch at a soundcheck...they were great, that show nevea tears played too, they are fun I think...but we play with two bands from our area alot that we are friends with that I think I should shot out....and those are; Let Live, and Werewolf With Robot Hands...if you havent heard of those bands or heard them yet... just go to purevolume and search for them, they are both great.

Bryan: Any bands that you haven't played with that you would like to?
Chris: Oh of course, all of our favorite bands, ranging anywhere between U2 to Underoath, from Beloved(rip) to Interpol, from Misery Signals to the Notwist, tons man, tons and tons i could go on forever....anyone huge so we could play in front of like 330238803835 people ahahaha.

Bryan: Who are some of your influences?
Chris: As far as the band goes, Travis and Adam...well Ithink everyone but me, likes Saves The Day A LOT...I dont hate them by any means, I just dont draw ideas from them... Jake (we dont want to say this) loves Beloved...as do we all... Adam loves Glassjaw a ton as do we all, as far as I am concerned, I'm a trained singer so I love all kinds of weird things ahaha...but my influences that are heavy at the moment are the following: U2, Further Seems Forever (How To Start A Fire, with Jason Gleason...best singer.), Misery signals, and a lot more.

Bryan: What bands have you been listening to lately?
Chris: A l ot of Beloved since they broke up, Misery Signals, Further Seems Forever, Brandston, Cartel, U2, a lot of obscure random vocalists, just to hear styles... American Football, Appleseed Cast, Casket Lottery, old American Nighmare (i refuse to call them GUTG), Killswitch Engage, oh and secretly the new Relient K record (sooo good!!)

Bryan: What do you like to do in your spare time?
Chris: Write, hang out with my friends...my girlfriend lives with me, so I hang out with her a ton, which rules, find new music, write new music, play music...go shopping, movies, play any classic nintendo games (mario, zelda, etc) and a lot more.

Bryan: Anything you would like to add?
Chris: Yeah, go get our EP which is coming out tentatively mid to late january..it will blow you away and anyone who ever wants to contact us and ask us questions, tell us they love us, tell us the dont like us at all, talk to us at all... do so... you can get our aim names from our purevolume site or our myspace so go do that and tell all your friends about Eandi, we are on the rise bwuwahahh! ahhahaha. much love.
