How would you describe your music to those who have never listened to your music before?
Hi, Clare!
My music sounds like Nelly Furtado meets Electric Wizard. It’s got a brooding aggression and violence, but is coated with a catchiness that feels like being outside on a nice day. I want it to be harsh enough that someone could skateboard to it or endearing enough that you could cook your friends/family a meal while listening! I have certain music that I listen to while cooking.
What made you want to get involved in music?
I originally wanted to try out music because all the “cool” kids I had went to elementary school with had later become popular locally by playing in bands. I wanted to be cool too, so when I was a freshman in high school, my best friend, Jordan, and I bought a cheap keyboard at a garage sale in our neighborhood. Eventually, all the kids in the neighborhood got together and started making terrible music together. Slowly, I learned how to play and have stuck with it ever since!

Fun, energetic pop rock.

With the release of his massive 24-song album back in March, Tomlinson is planning on making 2015 a year to remember, and Legendary Kids Press was able to catch up with him to learn more about his musical beginnings, the release and his touring plans.
How would you describe your sound to those who have never listened to More Than Skies before?
I would describe it as dynamic, orchestrated folk-rock. I might have to mention to them that it gets a little personal!
Who were your musical inspirations growing up, and how would you say they’ve helped influence the music you’re making now?
Musically, The Beatles were - and have been - the biggest influence on me. [I’m] pretty sure I had an “I Am The Walrus” birthday cake at 16 and likely subjected all of my friends to whichever albums I owned at that point over and over again.
The Beatles covered enough musical territory to be an influence to me in a number of ways, from using characters in songs, creating conceptualized albums, their harmonies, their musicianship and the wide range of dynamics their songs can have on just one album. The fact that a song like “Julia” can exist in the same realm as “Helter Skelter” really blows the lid off having to subscribe to one particular sound. Therefore, I don’t!

Columbus-based duo twenty one pilots are back at it with the release of their new album, Blurryface. Consisting of singer Tyler Joseph and drummer Josh Dunn, the group has wowed listeners and gained new followers as the result of Blurryface, which showcases a slightly more pop sound than their previous albums, but still maintains the classic twenty one pilots feel.
The opening track, “Heavydirtysoul”, is a pretty accurate representation of the group’s style, with rap verses and a catchy chorus. “Stressed Out” refers to the mysterious concept of Blurryface, referenced by the album title. Overall, the record includes subtle touches of different genres, such as the somewhat reggae feel of “Ride” while stay true to the twenty one pilots style with poetry-esque rap verses. The album also features tracks, such as “Fairly Local”, with it’s genius reverse verses, “Tear In My Heart”, “Doubt” and “Polarize”. It ends on a relatively softer note with “Goner” - an appropriate title for a final track - but the duo still manage to go out with a bang.
