Welcome to BuzzMusic, The Hungry & Dangerous. Congratulations on the release of your punchy debut single, "The Hungry & Dangerous." What inspired you to create and release this powerful self-titled single?
The Hungry and Dangerous started out as a solo single that somehow led to this beautiful project coming to be. When we announced the single in April of 2021, all of us started getting messages from fans, friends, family, etc. about how excited they were to hear the new band. So instead of us saying "Oh no it's another JTM solo single", we all got together and started discussing the idea of this becoming a band. That's when we decided we were going to move forward as The Hungry & Dangerous. The song itself is an anthem for anyone who is pursuing their dreams and or anyone who feels that there's more to life than their current situation. It's crazy because that's how we all can together as a group, the pursuit of wanting more out of life.
What was your band's creative process like when crafting the powerful instrumentals for "The Hungry & Dangerous?" How did you divide the instrumental arrangements amongst your members?
So the guitars came first before anything else, I myself had been working on this song since 2015. It wasn't until the pandemic hit and when I had approached my good friend and mixing engineer Tristan Roberts about recording and releasing new material that I had unearthed the original demo of this song. I always said with this track, that the song had to meet the power of the lyrics and when I brought the song to the guys, Matt, our drummer, instantly dove into the song, and we made sure that those drums hit hard. I think if it wasn't for Matt and Tristan's excellent ear for mixing punchy tunes, Idk if the song would have hit as hard as it did. One thing I always really liked about this song is that it really allowed me to show my roots in glam metal and 80s rock music. Over the years, I haven't had many chances to do this and when we get to do songs like this, It really gets the younger kid inside of me excited!
Who wrote the lyricism for "The Hungry & Dangerous?" What did you want your audience to take away from your descriptive lyricism?
The original draft of lyrics for The Hungry & Dangerous was written while I was a student at Full Sail University back in 2016, at the time the song was called "Angels Playing Demons". I ended up re-writing this song 3 or 4 times because I felt the lyrics never matched what the music was presenting. It wasn't until 2020 during the pandemic when we had unearthed the original demo of the song, that I decided to re-write them one more time. The Hungry & Dangerous idea came from personal experience, being a guy working full time in the music industry during the pandemic and knowing/believing that the hard work I was putting in would eventually pay off down the line. Basically the thought of having blind faith, and no false hope.
What should we expect from your forthcoming debut album in early 2022? Should we expect a particular concept or theme from this project?
What everyone should expect from this debut record is simple, authentic, original rock n roll. As a band, we all grew up and were inspired by the rock n roll icons of yesteryear, so we wanna continue on the work of there's while paving our own path. This record is all over the place musically, and that's why I feel it's such a fun album. There's not so much a concept with this album as there is a statement of who we are and what you can expect from us. Rock n Roll has become a very vague term in the last 10 to 15 years, and we feel it's our duty to carry on the torch and to bring the Rock back to Rock N Roll. I seriously doubt Elvis would be doing TikTok's or a young Motley Crue would be obsessed with doing Instagram live, let's mute the distractions and get back to what made music great back in the day, and that's writing and producing tremendous music.
What's next for you?
We are currently in the late stages of mixing and mastering our debut album with the hopes of having the album released by early 2022. Having said that, we do have another single coming this fall and it'll be our first release with Diotima Records, so we're very excited to be working with them on this record. As well as all of the new music, we are planning some live shows for 2021, and potentially some touring to follow the album release in 2022, given if the current situations stay as they are with the pandemic. But stay tuned to our socials, big things are expected to get announced very, VERY, soon.
