Alfonso Civile of Heartsick - Ep057

This week Scott is joined by Alfonso Civile of Heartsick for an
engaging conversation. Emerging out of the Midwest and finally
ready to take the whole of the  US by storm, Heartsick is a
band of brothers, consisting of Alfonso  Civile on vocals,
Jerred Pruneau on guitar, Waylon Fox on bass and  Talmadge
Jake Bryan on drums. 


The discussion starts with some talk about Scott's ever-growing
music-related collection and how it's becoming a hall of fame of
sorts. Additionally, there's some discussion of how the band went
about filming videos during the Covid lockdown.


Alfonso is from Puerto Rico but moved several times before his
family settled in Miami. In this chat, he shares stories of his
upbringing and family; including his sister's musical influence
on him via rock bands of the day. Alfonso's parents were very
musically diverse and that diversity helped mold his tastes. It's
an interesting cross-section of artists. 


As always, Scott goes album by album through Alfonso's
discography. Before changing their name, the band was known as
Know Lyfe. During this time, they tragically lost their drummer
Matt. The story of how the band recovered and thrived is very
interesting. Albums covered include Sleep Cycles, Self-Titled,
and the 2021 release Thrill of the Hunt. 


Other topics touched on include Scott and Alfonso's shared love
of the movie and soundtrack 'The Crow,' singing in choir,
Disturbed, Columbia House, Madonna, festival touring, trying out
for Il Nino, and much more!


We hope you enjoy Scott's talk with Alfonso Civile of Heartsick
and SHARE with a friend!
