INTERVIEW: Aaron Barry of Gracie Mae

image

Gracie Mae are an ambient rock band from London, Ontario. The three-piece, who are currently looking to release their third EP later this year, have experienced a pretty steady rise since their formation last year and are looking to further that growth in 2015. Recently, I was able to speak with frontman Aaron Barry about the band’s music, his hopes for the new year and where he sees the band going down the road.

How would you describe Gracie Mae’s sound to those who have never listened to the band before?

This is always such a tough question to answer. What I perceive the band to sound like is obviously totally different than the next person would describe it. The best way I could describe it is just by what people have told me: old Alexisonfire, Coheed and Cambria or Circa Survive-esque. I would just say indie rock with post-hardcore roots.

The band formed in 2014 and has had a pretty quick rise. What do you attribute to this?

I don’t know if I’d say [we’ve] “risen” yet, but I can say we’ve just worked hard. I came out of a band before Gracie Mae that worked hard. We played 50+ shows a year and worked really hard. It was kind of a different era, where shows happened more, but that’s where I learned to work hard. 

Social media has been a really great tool in spreading our band. We’ve been pretty selective about playing shows, so we aren’t on everyone’s radar as far as being able to see us, so we use social media to extend or reach past Southern Ontario. Applications like Instagram, Tumblr and Facebook are a modern band’s best friend. 

I would attest the gains we’ve made to working hard and understanding how important it is to be active in the online world.
