What´s the name of your band? The name of our band is Utopia Unborn.
How was the band formed? Kind of a long story. We already had a project in the past, which was named "ScumDrug" but we split that up due to a lack of time. And last year (2014) we decided to continue making music together. And so Utopa Unborn was formed.
Can you tell about your band? We started as a Doom/Death/Black/Gothic Metal band. Lately we decided to go more into the direction of Dark/Alternative Rock. The lyrics in the beginning were mostly about Death, Depression and religion. Nowadays we concentrate on love and relationships in our lyrics.
Where are all band members from?/Who does what in the band? We are a two-man-band. Deady is doing vocals and he is from Leese. Alex is doing drugs and plays a little bit guitar and he is from Leese as well.

What was the ambitions of the band when you started? Getting drunk, getting laid, getting high.
Could you explain your music to someone that haven't heard you? We play modern rock music with experimental influences (like strange synthesizer and shit) and lyrically we write about love and relationship. "Girlie Rock" if you want to say so.

Who writes your songs?/ who writes the music who writes lyrics? Well, most of the lyrics by now are written by Alex as well as all the music. But there are songs from Deady coming, too in the near future.
Who has the best since of humor in the band? Both of us. We are sick bastards that can laugh about everything.
What's good/bad with the band?/What genre do you feel you are? Everything is good in our band. We are friends since we went to school together, so we always know how far we can go with eachother. The genre thing... We could categorize ourselves as a Dark Rock band.
Why did you pick that particular style?/What are your songs about? Our songs deal with romances, love and relationships in all aspects. So we do not only focus on the good sides of that, but also try to concentrate on the rather negative aspects about these things.
Do you write your own material or mainly covers? We'd say 50/50. We did a lot of covers im the past to find our style, but now we are mainly working on our songs.
Have you made any albums?/If yes what are they? We are currently working on our first demo called "Black Rose Romance", which is coming in summer of this year.

Deady: I've grown up with music from Bagpipes to E-Bass. So it was kind of naturally to start a band.

Alex: I started playing guitar when I was 16 years old.
Deady: I started playing when I was 8 years old.

What places will you be playing in in the imidate future? Well, we couldn't play live up to now, because we are just two people. But we hope to find people that are just as fucked up as we are, so we can add them to our line-up and then we want to play anywhere. Doesn't matter. We're whores.

When did you decide to go all in for the music? As soon as we started playing music.

Deady: Booze, boobs and booster.
Alex: Girls, girls, girls.
What's the first step when making a new song? Almost everytime it starts with Alex picking up the guitar.
How do you feel about the downloading of music instead of buying albums? We think it's a good think for unknown bands to spread their music, but of course it's a problem for bigger bands, because making a record is pretty expensive, so it's money that got lost. But we prefer to hold something in our hands, look through the booklet and read the lyrics. We're old-school bitches.

Besides your own music, what genres and bands do you listen to?
Deady: Mainly metal, such as Sodom, Judas Priest, Slayer and Tankard.
