Today’s Featured Artist – INTERVIEW – Ventures

Tell us about:

Your latest single you have released:

Our latest single is called “Melt With Me” an can be found on your favourite streaming service 

Your favourite lyric in this song:

Mine would have to be the main hook/chorus “Come, Melt with me” I just like the way it flows with the guitars

Your favourite song that you have created that is an album track:

Solitude is my Magnum opus so to speak haha I don’t think I’ll ever top that as a musician 

Your favourite song to play live:

Again would be Solitude or maybe Paradise Lost, both of these are just not as heavy as you’d think and they are just amazing to scream along to when on stage 

The song that was the longest to write and why?

That award would go to “Melt With Me” No lie this song has been in the works since like 2019.

It was very different then and just was a BFMV / Trivium rip-off song at first and none of us wanted to do it but over the years small things changed and it became more of a ventures song than BFMV or Trivium 

Your most emotional track:

Paradise Lost, I don’t know why. This was one of the songs I wrote when I first decided to come back to live music and something about it just hits me in the feels 

Dream collaboration:

Tim Henson hands down, come on Tim!

I’ve shouted you out so many times, let’s do something haha

Jokes aside I think Tim has changed the way people look at a guitar, his band Polyphia and others like Unprocessed are smashing it.

Describe the feeling you get when you walk on stage to do a show:

This can be hard to explain as I’ve always put my feelings down to my condition to be fair. I get excited easily and stepping on stage is a whole new rush every time. So yeah, I don’t know if it’s really how it feels for others or just how my body handles adrenalin etc but I love it.

Definitely something everyone should try even if for karaoke.

The hardest track to play live:

Would go to an old song “Happy Hour” It wasn’t a hard song so to speak it was the way our old vocalist wrote the lyrics were just too hard for Ollie to grasp in a controlled way so we took it out of the setlist and haven’t played it since 

Essential items you always take on tour with you?

We haven’t done many tours yet sadly, we had the odd weekend here and there and it would have to be my prescription, can’t go anywhere without that *Wink wink*

Describe your fans in three words:

Amazing, crazy and sexy 

A song by another artist or band you wish you had written:

Avenged Sevenfold – Unholy confessions or Beast and the Harlot

I’d love to have been a fly on the wall for these songs just picture Gates running to Zak like yooooooo check this out!!!

What we can look forward to from your band this year:

We’re hopefully heading out on tour later in the year with some good friends of ours, that should be amazing and it seems to be all new cities too so we can make some new friends.
