Exclusive Interview: Daytrader

Sometimes, some good can come out of bad situations, and this is definitely a perfect example to go by. When Long Island heroes, Crime In Stereo, decided to call it a day, in August 2010, it left a temporary hole in the scene, until now. Shortly after the band released their official statement, it was mentioned that bassist, Gary Cioni, had started a new band (along with members of: Bridge and Tunnel, The Motorcycle Industry, Latterman and Divider.) A few weeks later, after releasing a string of demos, they were already being dubbed a "buzz" band.

In their first interview, Daytrader guitarist, Gary Cioni, spoke to Alter The Press exclusively about: how the band originally came together, the response to the band so far, signing to Run For Cover Records, their debut release and more.

Alter The Press: How did the band get together?
Gary Cioni (guitar): Daytrader first started writing in June of 2010. At first it was just Pat (Schrammand, drums) and I writing a bunch of songs and feeling each other out musically. Tym (vocals) is a good friend of mine and we had been talking about starting a band together for years so it worked out rather nicely. After a few weeks of writing Pat brought Jon (Murray, bass) into the band to play bass and about a month after that Mike (Weiss, guitar) joined the band.

The band will be heading into the recording studio to start work in November.

On Our Stereo: Latterman - No Matter Where We Go...!

This week's 'On Our Stereo', Daniel comments on Huntington, New York Punk Band Latterman's 2005 release 'No Matter Where We Go...!'

There’s not much better than pop punk, it’s hard to think of anything greater. There’s only thing that can improve on pop punk, and that’s pop punk teamed with good weather and mates. Cue me making a mix CD full of pop punk hits to play to make a good day even better. This led me to having a big rummage through a lot of old records and CD’s and stumbling across Latterman.

Now, I’m not one to get into the pop punk argument, I really don’t like it. In my opinion there’s two types of pop punk, there’s the rough around the edges pop punk that I hear some people call RamonesXcore or something silly like that. Then there’s the pop punk with choruses catchier than, well, anything. It’s all done with the sole purpose of bringing a smile to as many faces as possible, pop punk is all about the smiles. It’s safe to say no band brings as big a smile to my face than Latterman.
