INTERVIEW BY: JOSHUA KOLOSK
EDITED BY: JOSHUA KOLOSKI
GRAVITY BURN IS QUICKLY BECOMING KNOWN TO FANS ACROSS THE
NATION AS A POWERFUL GROUP THAT WILL BE HERE TO STAY FOR A
LONG TIME TO COME. IN JUST THE SHORT TIME THEY HAVE BEEN
TOGETHER THEY HAVE ACCOMPLISHED WHAT FOR SOME ARTIST
TAKE A LIFETIME. BEFORE THEY EVEN STEPPED ON STAGE YOU
WOULD HEAR THERE MUSIC STREAMING ON THE AIRWAVES. SOON
AFTER THEY WOULD RECEIVE ENDORSEMENTS FROM SOME OF THE
BEST MANUFACTURERS IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS. WE WERE ABLE TO
GO ONE ON ONE WITH JOSH, THERE MORE THAN TALENTED DRUMMER
ON KEY ISSUES LIKE: HOW THEY GOT STARTED, WHATS TO COME,
AND SOME THINGS THAT MAY BEING SAID FOR THE FIRST TIME. SOON
AFTER THIS INTERVIEW WAS CONCLUDED GRAVITY BURN WAS NO
LONGER A UNSIGNED GROUP. AS YOU READ YOU WILL SEE THAT
APPARENTLY THE RUMORS RANG TRUE AS THE GROUP IS NOW
SIGNED TO RENAISSANCE RECORDS WITH WORLDWIDE DISTRIBUTION
THROUGH KOCH ENTERTAINMENT. ARE YOU READY FOR GRAVITY
BURN? THERE DEBUT ALBUM "WEIGHT AND SEA" IS DUE OUT IN 2008.

M4M: CAN YOU TELL US A LITTLE ABOUT GRAVITY BURN?

JOSH: WE ARE  A FOUR PIECE HARD ROCK BAND THAT IS FOCUSED AND DEDICATED TO WRITING, RECORDING, AND
PERFORMING THE BEST SONGS WE POSSIBLY CAN. IT REALLY IS ABOUT MUSIC TO US! AND ALSO ABOUT CHEMISTRY.
THE FOUR OF US ARE VERY DIFFERENT IN OUR BACKGROUND AND EXPERIENCES, BUT WE ALSO ARE VERY MUCH
ALIKE IN THAT WE HAVE THE SAME VISION AND RESPECT FOR EACH OTHER.

M4M: WHO HAVE GRAVITY BURN BIGGEST INFLUENCES BEEN?

JOSH: THAT’S A TOUGH ONE. WE ALL LOVE A LOT OF THE SAME BANDS, BUT ALSO EACH OF US HAS OUR OWN TASTE
TOO. WE SHARE A COMMON LOVE FOR BANDS LIKE  TOOL, CHEVELLE, BREAKING BENJAMIN, FILTER, AND SO FORTH.
BUT, THERE IS A VARIED MIX OF A LOT OF STYLE’S THROWN IN THERE...AGAIN, WE ARE ALL FROM SUCH DIFFERENT
PLACE’S WHEN IT COMES TO THAT.

M4M: SO NOW HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN PLAYING TOGETHER?

JOSH: MIKE AND I HAVE BEEN PLAYING TOGETHER ON AND OFF FOR A FEW YEARS. THE TWO OF US HAVE BEEN
PLAYING WITH MAGDA FOR JUST UNDER A YEAR. AND, WE MADE THE LINE-UP COMPLETE ABOUT 4 MONTHS AGO
WHEN WE BROUGHT ADAM IN. MIKE AND I PLAYED WITH ADAM A FEW YEARS AGO, AND WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE HIM
FOR GOOD THIS TIME!!

M4M: HOW HAVE YOU GROWN AS A GROUP IN THAT TIME?

JOSH: IT IS AMAZING HOW FAR WE COME MUSICALLY IN A FEW MONTHS. I MEAN WE HAD A
GOOD GROUNDWORK THING HAPPENING WHEN IT WAS JUST MIKE AND ME. OUR STYLES
WERE A INSTANT CONNECTION. REALLY TIGHT! THEN, WHEN WE FOUND MAGDA…GOOD
LORD!! HER VOCALS AND MIKES GUITAR MELODIES GO TOGETHER LIKE CHOCOLATE AND
PEANUT BUTTER!! BUT IT WAS NOT UNTIL ADAM CAME IN THAT IT FELT REALLY “REAL” YA
KNOW?? WE ALL STARTED TO GET GOOSE BUMPS IMMEDIATELY AND WE KNEW THAT THIS
WAS IT!

M4M: WE HEAR YOU HAVE A FEW NEW ENDORSEMENT'S?

JOSH: YES!! ADAM HAS JUST BEEN GIVEN A SPECTOR BASS ENDORSEMENT, AND HE IS VERY EXCITED! SPECTOR
BASSES ARE AMAZING! I HAVE BEEN GIVEN A SONOR DRUM ENDORSEMENT, A SILVER FOX DRUMSTICK ENDORSEMENT
AND A RANDALL MAY INTERNAL MIC ENDORSEMENT. I AM REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THEM ALL! I HAVE WANTED THE
SONOR ENDORSEMENT SINCE I WAS A KID SO I AM PSYCHED!

M4M: THAT MUST BE AWESOME?

JOSH: IT IS AN HONOR TO HAVE THESE INTERNATIONALLY RENOWNED COMPANIES ADD US TO THEIR RANKS OF SOME
OF THE WORLDS BEST MUSICIANS. WE ARE TRULY HUMBLED TO BE INCLUDED WITH PEOPLE LIKE STING (spector
basses) AND DANNY CAREY (sonor drums).

M4M: RUMOR HAS IT YOU MIGHT BE CLOSE TO GETTING SIGNED?

JOSH: THAT’S THE RUMOUR! (laughs) WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF THE ACTUAL SIGNING PROCESS WITH A RENAISSANCE
RECORDS (KOCH DISTRIBUTION)…AND WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO POSSIBILITIES THAT LIE AHEAD! MAYBE A
EARLY SPRING 2008 RELEASE WITH AS MUCH TOURING AS POSSIBLE. WE WILL SEE! (soon after this interview was
concluded they did have the signing)

M4M: IS THERE AN INDEPENDENT CD RELEASE ALREADY?

JOSH: WE DO HAVE A 7 SONG CD THAT WE DID OURSELVES AT OUR FRIEND ANDREW BURN’S STUDIO ( ANDREW
BURNS IS NO RELATION TO GRAVITY BURN) (Laughs) SERIOUSLY THOUGH, ANDREW IS AN ENGINEERING WIZARD AND
NONE OF THIS WOULD BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT HIM. THE PLAN NOW IS TO GO BACK TO ANDREW'S AND RECORD A FEW
MORE SONGS FOR THE RENAISSANCE RELEASE.

M4M: MAGDA SEEMS TO HAVE A PRETTY POWERFUL VOICE?

JOSH: MAGDA WAS CLASSICALLY TRAINED IN KRAKOW, POLAND (her home) AT THE
UNIVERSITY LEVEL. SHE IS AMAZING! POWER THAT I HAVE NEVER SEEN THAT COMES
SEEMINGLY OUT OF NOWHERE, LIKE IT LOOKS EFFORTLESS…AND IT IS ANYTHING BUT
EFFORTLESS I AM SURE! SHE IS A VERY SPECIAL TALENT AND WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE
HER.

M4M: THE MUSIC WORLD NEEDS MORE FEMALE VOCALIST! CAN SHE BE COMPARED TO
AMY LEE(Evenescence) OR LACY MOSLEY(Flyleaf)?

JOSH: I AGREE…MORE FEMALES!! (Laughs) YEAH, WE CAN NOT HELP BUT TO GET THE
EVANESCENCE/FLYLEAF COMPARISON. AND BOTH OF THOSE BANDS ARE PHENOMENAL
WITH MIND-BLOWING FEMALE VOCALIST, SO IT IS FLATTERING TO BE COMPARED TO
THEM. I DO THINK MAGDA HAS HER OWN UNIQUE FLAVOR THAT SORT OF SEPARATES HER FROM THE OTHERS. MAYBE
IT IS THE POLISH THING!

M4M: WHAT NOW FOR THE GROUP? WHERE DO YOU PLAN TO GO FROM HERE AS A WHOLE?

JOSH: WE PLAN TO MAKE THE MOST OUT OF EVERY OPPORTUNITY WE ARE GIVEN. WE ALWAYS EXPECT THE BEST
AND PREPARE FOR THE WORST. AND WE DO IT TOGETHER! WHEN IT COMES TIME TO START TOURING IN SUPPORT
OF THE RECORD, WE ARE GONNA GO PLAY OUR HEARTS OUT AND GIVE EVERY OUNCE OF OURSELVES AT EACH
SHOW…NO MATTER IF THERE ARE 1000 PEOPLE OR 3 PEOPLE. WE OWE IT TO THEM AND TO OURSELVES TO GIVE IT
A THOUSAND PERCENT!

M4M: GOOD LUCK WITH EVERYTHING AND THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO TALK WITH US!

JOSH: THANKS JOSH! WE APPRECIATE EVERYTHING YOU ARE DOING FOR US AND WE WOULD LOVE TO DO IT AGAIN
SOON!!
