Concert Crap: Your latest album Epic Tales of Human Nature just released. This is kind of a comeback album for you guys. How was it different getting this music together in comparison to music you’ve released previously?
Joe Grah: In the past we would tour non-stop and make records in between. With the new album a good portion of the record was written long distance. Toby would send me guitar riffs and I would live with them and create lyrics & melodies. Other songs were written on the spot in the studio. This was our first completely studio driven album and I think it definitely reflects in the final results. In the end it always comes down to the four of us connecting and elevating all ideas
CC: What’s something non-music related that influenced this album the most?
JG: The current state of humanity and the world that surrounds us.
CC: Are we going to be seeing a JIBE tour sometime soon?
JG: We’re in the early stages of regional tour planning right now with long-term plans to spread out far and wide.
CC: What can we expect from JIBE in the future?
JG: Lot’s of touring, a full-feature documentary, and more music.
CC: Any fun summer plans?
JG: Riding up the California coast on my motorcycle and getting back to our region for tour because every show is an uncertain journey into the great unknown.
CC: Is there anything else you’d like to add to this interview?
JG: Thank you so much for taking the time to ask these questions. We look forward to seeing each and every one of you out there…
