Hello readers of Twilight Collective from planet Earth and ~elsewhere~. In my first article of year 3, I decided to ask a few questions to the South Jersey-based indie rock group Cat In The Wall.
Who would you consider your musical inspirations? I think we draw sonic inspiration from alt rock mainly (Foo Fighters, The Strokes, Radiohead, etc) but we all listen to a lot of stuff and draw creative influence from everything. Cookie likes funk and neo soul and we all like hip hop and other stuff. Other influences like funk, jazz and emo rock will be more prevalent in future releases. Why is your band called Cat In The Wall? What does that mean to you? We were originally called In The Meantime but we could not release anything under that name because it was taken already. For months we tried to come up with a name that would fit who we are. Eventually Kyle suggested the name “Cat in the Wall” after watching the episode of Always Sunny In Philadelphia “Mac and Dennis Break Up,” and we stuck with it. Do you guys like the Philadelphia scene or New York scene more? Have you found a New Jersey scene at all? We haven’t had much of a chance to see the New York scene, but we really love the scene in Philly because all musicians, artists and other creative people support each other. Philly isn’t nearly as big as New York and has a much more unique culture and energy. We have played shows with artists in completely different genres and everyone is always super supportive of us, especially as young musicians. There is a scene in South Jersey, (mostly filled hardcore and emo bands), but we have found other bands in the area. Since the Philly scene is so big and close, a lot of artists from South Jersey end up finding opportunities there. --- Thank you Cat In The Wall for stopping by the Instagram messaging inbox of Twilight Collective! Go check these guys out. They're awesome. You can follow Cat In The Wall on Instagram and Bandcamp.
