Issueskilled it when they were on tour withThe Amity Affliction on their latestLet The Ocean Take Metour! We caught up withTyler Carter to talk about what he was most excited about doing on the tour and what makes him a MANIAC!
1. The Let The Ocean Take Me tour will hit venue sizes of5000-8000capacity in the major cities. Tell us about the largest crowdyou'veever played to and how you dealt with the nerves.
The largest crowd we’ve ever played other than various Warped Tour US stops, was in Michigan with Bring Me The Horizon and We Came As Romans, it was at some hockey arena. It was pretty awesome. I didn’t really have nerves, it’s more like going on a roller coaster, you’re just not sure how intense and amazing it’s gonna be but you’re no doubt excited as hell!
2. Australia is home to some of the deadliest animals in the world, which are you most afraid of coming into contact with?
Oh wow, probably spiders or the bees. I don’t really fuck with Snakes or Jellyfish anywhere so that’s just as intimidating as everywhere else, but everyone knows spiders are more severe in Australia and Africa. But there again a big nasty octopus would freak me out so much, even though I eat octopus… or maybe a tick!? I don’t want a disease, fuck idk!!! Now I’m paranoid why did you ask me this question!!!
3. What song are you most looking forward to hearing from the other bands on this tour?
What song!? Hmm, idk, I’m not too in touch with everyone’s music at this point. But I’m excited to watch and get acquainted the whole tour! I can’t wait to make some new friends, and see everyone kill it!
4. Australians like to think we have the best beer on Earth. Tell us how much you agree and why.
I will probably let my bassist Skyler answer that, he’s the connoisseur of local draft beers!
5. What makes you a MANIAC?
I’m obsessed with cooking and I’m pretty obsessed with people who skateboard really creatively and unique. Curren Caples and Nyjah Houston are my favorite skaters at the moment.
