Here is an interview with Zack McKim of Take It Back! via my other site (Christian Hardcore News).
 | Interview with Zack McKim of Take It Back Here is my interview with Zack McKim, vocalist of the awesome new Facedown Records band, Take It Back!
This is Zack, I do vocals.
1. How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard your band?
Fast, fun, punk rock with some worshipful parts.
2. You guys, just got signed by Facedown Records, how did that come about?
We've played with a lot of Facedown bands in the past and I guess they all kept putting in good words for us, we talked to Jason for a while and then he told us he wanted us on the label, we prayed and fasted about it for a while and then decided that's where God wanted us.
3. When are you guys hoping to have your Facedown debut out?
Hopefully by the end of the summer.
4. What role would you say christianity plays in your band?
We are a ministry first, a band second. We want kids to know that there's more to life than hardcore, or the problems of everyday life. There's a much bigger battle going on, a battle for lost souls. But, we love what we do. It's a lot of fun. We love to hang out and meet new people. God is good.
5. You guys are a straight up hardcore band, so I'm just curious, how do you feel about metalcore? (I know this is a strange question, but I know alot of hardcore bands aren't fans of metalcore, so I was just curious on your take on it.)
I'm not really even sure what that is. I try to stay out of the sub-genre thing but, I guess if it sounds good and it's sincere i like it.
6. You guys have some big events coming up, such as playing Facedown Fest and getting to share the stage with MxPx at an upcoming show. That's got to make you feel at least a tad bit nervous, right?
We're always nervous about big shows, it's more stressful. But we're really excited at the same time. Mxpx has always been one of our favorite bands so it's gonna be sick to play with them.
7. Is there anything else you'd like to say to the people reading this?
God is good all the time, no matter where you've been or what you've done, He will meet you where you are. |
