What was the story in forming the band?
Weatherworn: [We] began as a solo project of Joey’s, called Prior Engagements, in 2016. The name was changed to Weatherworn in 2018. A full-band line-up was established in 2019, after the release of Still Frames (LP1). The band recruited Dylan (Vox) in 2020, fulfilling the line-up for Postcards (LP2) which was released on June 4, 2021. RTA: Nice! We all love the music so far and can’t wait to hear more!
What is the inspiration in your music?
Weatherworn: Creating music is a sense of purpose. Each song has been written about an experience that has been live-changing thus far.
RTA: That’s great! Why none of us have become music writers is that no one like to hear about our single, boring lives with most of us still living at our parents house…not a good seller.
Favorite movie(s)?
Weatherworn: Way too many to list…
RTA: None of us have heard about that one. We sent Judy from IT to find a copy at Blockbuster, she hasn’t returned yet.
Bossman: I employ a bunch of idiots!
Last album/EP/single release?
Weatherworn: New album Postcards (LP2) available now!
RTA: We play it non-stop on repeat here at the office…for weeks now…we think the stereo is broken…please help!
Upcoming shows/tours for the next year?
Weatherworn: We have a few dates lined-up for the Fall. Keep an eye out.
RTA: Will do, keep us updated and we’ll spread the word to our millions, thousands, hundreds of loyal fans.
What is a venue you always wanted to perform in? Why?
Weatherworn: 9:30 Club; Steven and I (Joey) played there in 2010 as part of a battle of the bands event. Performing there as part of an official bill would be incredible.
RTA: Jerry from Shipping did the vocals cover for Metallica’s “Orion” in a battle of the bands once. He just stood on stage for 10 minutes then left. Don’t think he won.
What artist would you want to open for?
Weatherworn: Hot Mulligan, The Dangerous Summer, and The Menzingers
RTA: Excellent choices! Last one of these artists to contact Weatherworn for a show is a rotten egg!
Dogs or cats?
Weatherworn: Both
RTA: Who writes these questions? A better question would be Velociraptors or Megalodons?
What is the song of yours that means the most to you?
Weatherworn: Jets to Muncy and Admire the Quiet. Both songs were written about loved ones who are no longer with us.
RTA: The feels! Music is one of those outlets that can convey the perfect emotion anyone is having!
