Say Never - Ep034

This week we feature a talk between Scott and the band Say Never.
Formed in 2017 in Atlanta GA, Say Never features a diverse sound
that can only be described as Post Grunge Hard Rock. With roots
in those genres as well as country, it's a unique sound that gets
your attention.


In this discussion Scott talks to all four band members; Jonathan
Pruitt, Paul Lawrence, Ben Sumpter, and Rick Gatheman. They delve
into the beginnings of the band as it was formed by Jonathan and
Paul. Rick would join next, followed by Ben in 2018. 


'Giving Up' is the first single and video from Say Never. In this
chat, the guys talk about how the song came about and how it's
important to the foundation of the band. Additionally, they
discuss the making of the video.


Say Never recorded material at Ledbelly Sound Studios in
Dawsonville, GA. Both singles were mixed by Fozzy/Stuck Mojo
guitarist Rich Ward. The decision to release singles early is
intentional as the music listening world has changed. In this
episode, the guys explain this plan of action.


Also covered is the band's songwriting process and how it
revolves around initial ideas from Jonathan and gets molded by
the rest of the band.


Other topics discussed include video shoot stories, upcoming
plans, merchandise, family/band life balance, and more. 


This interview was conducted in October 2019. Sadly, weeks later
guitarist Ben Sumpter would pass away in his sleep. Rest in
Peace, Ben.


Say Never is still active and currently recording more material.
