SI #19 This is Float Omen

Float Omen. I discovered the band a few months back and immediately fell in love with one of their latest singles and never looked back. It was stuck in my head all day and remains so to this day. Earworm central. Today, I'm fortunated enough, as are you.... to meet 2 of the 6 guys. We'll meet and learn about them together... sound good? So... Ladies and gentlemen, give a big metalcore welcome to 2 of the voices behind this "gonna be huge soon" band, Vinny and Trent. It's my honor to host them and turn the world onto FLOAT OMEN! ---- Time Codes: 4:00 It's unfair to call a band metalcore if they're not This is where we react THE SONG OF THE WEEK: Oceans Ate Alaska - Onsra 6:30 How did Float Omen come together? 12:00 Classified as Metalcore? 16:40 Connecting to people and making them feel a certain thing 21:00 Lyrics for 'Above the Waves' 26:00 A young person's perspective 31:00 The battle of struggle to 'be someone' 36:00 The feeling that comes in the door 40:00 Coke is killing Rob and he's an addict 44:00 Addicted to the process of making a record 48:00 What makes us feel like we're home? 53:00 It's not hopeless even when it feels like it is 58:00 The hope that springs from an interview 1:02:00 Throwing people under the tour bus THEIR NEW EP, "The Degradation of Life," is out now and can be found everywhere you get your media.
