Albert React Interview

Coming out of Pennsylvania, the five-piece Albert React have just knocked a new album for Eulogy entitled Confluence & Scrapes and, as most bands in their place, they are perpetually on tour. In the buildup for the record's release and etc., lead singer Gabe Libhart was kind enough to answer some of our questions. Somehow, though, something was lost in translation and not all of the originals were answered, including our increasingly bewildering bonus question.

How is it being on Eulogy?

We are very happy with how they treat us. They do their job as a label to promote and distribute our record, which makes touring much easier.

Are you interested in being sponsored by some alcohol company like Jagermeister?

Very much so, yes. If you know someone who can make that happen, please email us at info@albertreact.com

Which, and why, are the band's guitars of choice?

Andrew plays a paul reed smith, and Justin plays a Gibson sg. They play them because they like how they sound.

Would you ever consider doing an acoustic record?

I doubt it, that's just not how we jam and touring on an acoustic Record wouldn't be as much fun for us.

Who is a crazier rock star: Courtney Love or Axl Rose?

That question doesn't deserve an answer.

How do you handle your merchandising (e.g., does it go through Eulogy, a separate licensing co., or just yourselves?)?

We go through ian at equal vision for shirts. Eulogy does everything else. Andrew, our guitarist, does the t-shirt designs.

Do the guys in the band have any off-kilter hobbies, like building model WWII planes?

Nothing too off-kilter, no. I collect apricorns in the fall, matt collects shoes, Andrew builds and remodels doghouses, Jamie collects computer keyboards, and Justin builds model WWI airplanes.

At the end of the day, what does Albert React want to accomplish?

We want to continue being able to tour and continue having the opportunity to make music together. We also want to convince as many people as possible to vote for John Kerry in the upcoming election.
