Interview with Stealing O'Neal
1. Your band name is very unique, where did it come from? And who makes up the band?
We got our band name when we stole a life size cut out of Shaquille O'Neal on the way to our first ever show.
We're made up of me (Ryan) on drums, Chris on vocals, Tim and Jack on guitar and Tom on bass.
2. How would you describe the music that you play?
I guess we're a weird mix of pop, rock and punk - come to a show and decide for yourself!
3. What is the most exciting part about playing on Take Action Tour?
We're stoked to be on this tour! To be playing alongside some great bands who we really respect and love is a great feeling and to know that it's all for a good cause is even greater.
4. What do you think are some of the big challenges facing young people today?
I think two things that are hitting kids really hard these days is depression and peer pressure with drugs - we've definitely been in contact with both issues in the past.
5. How have you guys gotten through tough times in your own life?
We're a pretty tight group of friends and have a lot of good friends outside of the band who have always helped us get through tough times.
6. What's in the future for the band and for you guys personally?
After Take Action we will be recording our debut record which we will be releasing in the not to distant future - we're all really focusing as much of our individual time on that.
7. What can the fans expect from your set on Take Action Tour.
A whole lot of dancing, singing, partying and a little more dancing - sweet!
