What are your songs about? (attempting to avoid any cliche) But in life everyone experiences setbacks and let downs, what keeps them going is how the individual chooses to deal with the problem. They can either accept defeat or move past the obstacle and take their life into their own hands. Each person is responsible for their own path and we are trying to promote the fact that when you go down, be ready to fight to get back up and succeed.
Having dealt with many of these experiences as a band already, we feel the topic hits us all more personally and is therefore more enjoyable to write about. It serves as a release in way. Plus the themes themselves are relatable by anyone with a beating heart.
Where did you come up with the name for your band? In all honesty it was more of a trial and error process. We had each band member come up with a list of names that sounded cool and limited it down. Everyone was satisfied with Ataxia for the way it sounded. Short, and easy to remember. The meaning of the word itself has less importance to us.
Do you guys have anything coming up? Shows, new album, stuff like that. We had just released our debut EP, "Memoirs," and are playing that in its entirety at all of our shows in addition to a new single to be released within the month. The song features guest vocals from Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills and we are very excited to put it out. It's a lot different from what we've been doing but for the better. We are fortunate enough to open for Fallen Captive's EP release show on June 28th with many other Ohio metal greats including Along Came a Spider, Skies of December and more. In addition to that we are in involved in an online voting contest to play the blossom date for warped tour, so fingers crossed for that one. (July 17th).
How long have you known each other? How did you guys meet and how did the band get started? Some have known each other for three years but 'Ataxia' as a whole formed one year ago. The lineup today was founded starting from Jordan and Brian who met at Walsh High School, and then bringing in Ricky from Revere High school. Devon was an older friend of Ricky's. We can confidently say that we are proud of how good our communication is with each other and that the pact we have formed would be close to impossible to break after the setbacks we have pushed through.
