Comments(2)Bottom Line Interview - May 1st 2005
HIP: As a start, why don’t you reveal how old is each member of the band ??
BL: two of us are 21, the other 2 are 20 years old.
HIP: Have you guys ever been in other bands before Bottom Line?
BL : For 3 of us, Bottom Line been our only band. We’ve been playing together since 8th grade when we were 14. Our last member, Cliff, has been in the band for the last year and half or two years. But Bottom Line, as a band, started around 1997 / 1998, we just never tried to get big and play outside of our town.
SummerHero interview - May 1st 2005
HIP : Why the name SummerHero ? Is there a special mystery behind it ?
SH : Its not really a mystery. When we were coming up with a name we kinda keep throwing names together. Its kind of a match between two names. I won’t get into the long story of what the other names meant because they had a meaning, but the final choice was kind of a mix of two names we liked. As for Summer Hero, everyone know what a summer hero is. When a movie comes out, there is always a summer hero of the year, you know what I mean.
To me, its like, I hate winter. Winter freaking sucks to me, so its my meaning of the name. We can throw as many different reasons why it makes sense.
To me, it means one thing, but I know we had the name before our singer and our other guitarist joined the band
Copeland interview - November 2004
Gump : First question is quite standard. How old are you guys and what did you guys do before doing Copeland ?
Copeland : We’re 23, 24, 25 and 27. We’re all have been involved in other bands before, nothing too notable. We’ve been playing music and working job and going to school on the side. I was doing furnitures, going to school and doing a band. James was working retail and done graphic design and went to school and playing little bands. John was delivering pizzas and selling insurances and playing bands too. So as you see, we were playing bands and working dead-end jobs.
