So, What do you sound like?
Artists give some vague, non-specific (yet use lots of words) definition as though people will be so inthralled and mystified by their lack of borders as to run and listen to the band immediately.
Remember, What do you sound like? is an invitation for entertainment. You don’t have to even try to answer the actual question. (And in fact, it’s a pretty lazy question on the part of the interviewer)
BUT, if you’re going to answer it straight up…just tell us you’re an americana artist, or a rock band, or a country act. Don’t add all the extra words…uh, yeah, we play metal riffs mixed with early punk but the drums are programmed to give it a modern twist.
When you get asked that question, answer it quickly, concisely, and move on. Spend more words on better questions.
