Where are ya'll from? The band is based out of Tampa florida, but Mike and me live over in lakeland....la familia 941......and the rest of the band lives over in tampa, most of us are from florida, but mike used to live in colorado, and i have lived in texas and illinios also.

Who are the two people that influence the band the most, musically and/or lyrically.? I cant really speak on the whole of the band there, because were not like alot of bands that have all gone to the same church for years and have the same influences. As far as i go, My father has influenced me in my guitar and bass playing. Musically our band is as diverse as the people in it. Maybe the two musical influences would be MU330 and saGoh 24-7

What do you hope to accomplish as a band? Our goal is to minister to the saint as well as the sinner. And we make no quims about that. We have a heart for people who dont fit in or fit the mold. Cuz were the same. Also we want to make millions touring in a huge bus and playing sold out arenas all the while signed to any label........please sign us.

When was your last speeding ticket? about 3 weeks ago,,,,,,with my grandma in the car...oh the humanity

How should I describe Upperoom to someone who's never heard you guys? Our new stuff is real rocky, we want to get that sorta dark rock sound with horns, maybe take a little : "Blue Meanies, Mu330, and maybe a little Insyderz.

What's the craziest thing you've ever done in concert? Once we played in a gym and i had on a wireless rig for my bass, so i went to the back of the gym and started to skate board around, then i went into the bathroom and then outside, that was sorta fun. But then there was this one time we stayed up way past midnite and........(trailing off)

If you could say one thing to the whole world, what would you tell them? That God is a God of second chances...and third and fourth chances. That no matter what you think God is, he loves you and just wants to be friends with the thing he made.....you. Id either say that or Spring for the two ply tp.....its worth it.
