"We Are One" emerged from diverse backgrounds, driven by unity. Influenced by Nu Metal pioneers and contemporary artists, they fuse passion and rap into anthemic performances, aiming for universal connection.
1. Can
you tell us about the origins of "We Are One"? How did you all come
together to form the band?
Aidan and
Bud are twin brothers from Doncaster, they moved to London to pursue modeling
and acting and whilst working in the private boxes at Wembley met Sean, from
Donegal Ireland, with the surname Brennan, which is the twins mothers maiden
name.
2. What is the significance behind the name "We Are One"? How does
it reflect your music and message?
The name We
Are One stands for Us, the twins are one, us and our bandmates are one, us and
our fans are one and humanity is one. We aim to unite everybody. Our message is
one of positivity and hope.
3. Your music combines passion, energy, and harmony with anthemic hooks and
aggressive rap verses. Who are some of your musical influences, and how have
they shaped your unique sound?
We have
lots of difference influences for many different reasons but the core ones
would be the pioneers of Numetal, Limp Bizkit, Beastie Boys, Rage Against The
Machine, Bodycount, Linkin Park, But we also are massively influenced by
current artists such as, Falling in Reverse, Bad Omens, Bring Me The Horizon.
The way these artists can switch up their style and sound is so inspiring, they
are genreless.
4. Can you walk us through your songwriting process? How do you balance the
different elements like rap verses and powerful melodies to create your
signature sound?
Our writing process is all natural, we will hear or say something and turn that into a verse or hook. We want our lyrics to always have purpose. every song has true meaning and is to inspire or motivate.
5. Your song is about unlocking the power within and unleashing the magic everyone has inside. Can you elaborate on this message and how it’s reflected in your lyrics and performances?
What was
once human nature is now so rare, we as a civilization have moved away from
core values like community and respect and into a greedy and lazy creature.
"The Power Of 3." is about unlocking your power and energy within and
using it to enhance and transcend.
6. Your live performances are described as explosive and powerful. What do
you aim to achieve with your live shows, and how do you prepare for them to
ensure they’re impactful for your audience?
We feel
that if a band or artist is truly captivating and within the performance on
stage then all the audience should be fully captivated and in too.
At any of our live performances Bud (Frontman) looks into every single person's
eyes to engage and make sure no-one is talking or on their phones, everyone in
the room even the bartenders are fully engaged in our live performance with us.
7. How do you connect with your fans through your music and performances?
Are there any memorable interactions or stories that stand out to you?
There are
many different parts of our songs that are like pirate shanties, that are
perfect for crowds to join in and sing with us. It is such a special feeling
and experience to have a room full of strangers all on the same wavelength and
invested in the same energy. It's like magic.
One story that stands out was after one of our London shows we were approached
by a very cool & excited stranger who was blown away by our performance and
told us how it transported him back to his youth. Bud went on to ask him if he
was Anthony Flemming The tattoo artist and he was. Anthony has been one of the
twins favourite tattoo artists for over 10 years so this was a really special
connection to make through music.
8. What have been some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced as a band, and
how have you overcome them? Conversely, what triumphs or milestones are you
most proud of?
It's so
difficult in today's world to create new, original music. We have had numerous
different members in the band all who brought something needed but only
temporarily. It's almost impossible to find other members who are fully
committed to the goals and aspirations of the band.
There are many triumphs we are proud of but the ones that stand out instantly
are playing the Hard Rock Stage at The Isle Of Wight Festival or meeting and
hanging out with Jacoby Shaddix at Papa Roachs London show at one of our favourite
London venues, O2 Forum Kentish Town.
9. Are there any upcoming projects, tours, or releases that you’re excited about? What can fans expect from "We Are One" in the near future?
We have just released our latest single
"The Power Of 3." which is the beginning of the bands new heavier,
more experimental metal style change. We will be playing a single release show
and also have new merch available at the show and on our website. We have also
just recorded our next two songs which in our opinion are by far our best songs
so we can't wait to show everyone what we have next.
10. How do you manage the dynamics within the band, especially when it comes
to creative differences or decisions? What’s the key to maintaining harmony
among members?
We have a
very open mind when it comes to music. If you have an idea or a plan we will
discuss everything as a band until we come to an agreed decision that best
suits the band. We want to do this for the rest of our lives so every decision
could be crucial to the future of the band.
11. Your songs feature aggressive and powerful lyrics. How do you ensure
these messages resonate positively with your audience and inspire them rather
than intimidate?
Good
question. This is very difficult to maneuver. Although we are very aggressive
it is all in the hope to scare people into actually listening to what we are
saying. If our music, lyrics or live performance has the power to affect one
person positively then we are doing something right. We want people to be
inspired to tell their friends about the most aggressive and scary band they've
ever seen who are all about unity and inspiration.
12. What advice would you give to aspiring musicians who want to create a
unique sound and build a strong presence in the music industry?
Stay true
to who you are or what you believe in. As a person and an artist. It's very
easy to listen to what every bus driver or factory worker thinks about music
and allow people who don't actually know what they are talking about to
influence you. Try to create unforgettable experiences that make all the
struggles and hard day's worth it. Do this because you love music and love
creating and aim for the stars.
