Ian (Lost Legion – vocals)

SPB: You changed direction a bit with the band for your latest LP, Behind the Concrete Veil, both in style and with more live shows. Was there a particular reason behind this shift?

Ian: We were a bedroom project that a couple close friends pushed us into trying out as a live band, and things just clicked into place. The live shows we do are just saying “yes” to opportunities that sound like fun. I don’t think I was mature enough to actually have fun with music before we started playing shows. 

Our style did change a lot, but I don’t have a great answer. The principal influences are the same. I was writing about darker, more personal topics and the music I wrote for it just came out darker. I don’t know if this makes sense, but the songs are already out there in the aether and I just find them and write them down. I don’t really have a good vision for how a song will turn out when I start writing, it’s more of a learning process. That’s why all our releases sound a little different.
