It's finally the moment we've all- well, I know I have, anyway!!- been waiting for... the first review of The Underground Experience!! I'm really excited about it!! And away we go!!
First up, we have a great little band from Sydney called Scream Infamy!! They are absolutely amazing!! Think catchy, pop-punk guitar riffs and tons of energy. Yet another one of my unsigned lovelies; the music these guys make is pop-punk magic!! If you hear their single, Scene Kid (which you should all go and buy on iTunes right now!!), you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. For those of you too lazy to look it up, watch it now!!
Scene Kid- Scream Infamy
Bet you understand me now, huh?!
Another reason I adore these guys is how lovely they are. The lovely Josh was sweet enough to play twenty questions with me especially for you guys!! My first time interviewing anyone, so hope you love it as much as I do!!
20 Questions With... Scream Infamy!!
1. Where did you all meet?
Mutual friends and me (Josh) and James have been cousins since birth!
2. How did you decide to become a band?
Me and James have been jamming since we started playing our instruments (really badly!) and we eventually decided to start a real band!
3. Where did your name come from?
I just put two words together, Scream and Infamy, and it fit and holds a really important meaning. Most of our lyrics are pointing out people that are in the wrong, or are 'infamous', so the name is pretty fitting to our music.
4. What bands inspire you?
Say Anything are personally my favourite band; we're seriously influenced by anything from Parkway Drive to Lady Gaga to Blink-182, as well as local/obscure bands.

5. How would you describe your sound?
Pop punk with a touch of indie, emo, alternative rock. We like to think we sound a bit like Fall Out Boy, All Time Low and Good Charlotte, so if you like those bands you need to check us out.
6. What do you like doing better; covering songs or writing your own music?
Covering songs is always fun, but people singing along to your lyrics, rather than a Blink-182 cover is an amazing feeling too. The best singalongs we get are to Scene Kid and Cool Story Bro!, hopefully our new material is 150% catchier so we can get more singalongs!
7. Who does most of your song writing?
7. Who does most of your song writing?
I (Josh) write all of the lyrics and most of the music; the other boys usually come in and change parts to how they please. I'm pretty much the evil dictator when it comes to songs though; my kids are like my babies!
8. What inspires your single, Scene Kid?
9. How long have you guys been playing your instruments?
10. What are your favourite subjects at school?
12. What other hidden talents do you have?
13. How long have you all been playing together?
14. Where can we hear your music?
18. What’s your biggest ambition musically?
19. Your debut release is set for early next year… what can we expect?
20. Any messages to people of general cyber space and your fans?
So, who else can't wait for the next release?? If Scene Kid and Cool Story Bro! are just the beginning, just wait until what comes next!! Exciting?? I think so!!
Yes, you read right. Free music, people!! Get on it!! And support them and their awesome epicness by buying Scene Kid on iTunes!
8. What inspires your single, Scene Kid?
Honestly, most of the Sydney music scene. Hardcore/metal kids and 'hipster' scene kids really annoy me a lot. They act like they are better than everyone when in fact, they are just not. The song is about getting rejected by a girl cause she would prefer to date one of these 'scene kids', obviously, and the music is inspired by old school punk rock.
9. How long have you guys been playing your instruments?
Throughout high school we've been learning and perfecting our musicianship. I've personally been playing for 4 years.
10. What are your favourite subjects at school?
Music class is always fun! I love multimedia too, great way to let out my other creative streaks.
11. What do you get up to on the weekends?
Playing shows, or just going to local shows trying to support the scene!
12. What other hidden talents do you have?
Haha I don't think I have any talent at all! Awkward!
13. How long have you all been playing together?
November 2009, nearly two years!
14. Where can we hear your music?
Screaminfamy.com is your best bet, but if you like us on Facebook you automatically get a puppy (Facebook.com/Screaminfamy).
15. What is your favourite song ever?
Definitely. Friday - Rebecca Black. Either that or something by Adele, what a babe.
16. What’s one thing you look for in a girl?
Awesome personality! And if she likes the same kind of music as me, I wouldn't complain either.
17. What’s the craziest thing you guys have done?
Probably some of our shows have had some crazy stuff happen, like jumping into the crowd, swearing at people to mosh or dance. One time we got paid a lot of money for a show we literally brought two people to, haha.
18. What’s your biggest ambition musically?
To get signed and tour the world! And also to learn how to sing, hahaha.
19. Your debut release is set for early next year… what can we expect?
Expect something as pop punk as pop punk can be in 2011, catchy hooks, fun rhythms, intense breakdowns, techno beats to pump up the bass for, bass drops to destroy subwoofers, I could go on forever...Oh yeah, sexy guitar solos and a s**tload of autotune.
20. Any messages to people of general cyber space and your fans?
