Firstly, what's the band up to right now?

the band is currently just taking it sort of easy writing new material and playing more local shows while the lot of us are in school. most of the currently written material will be on a future full length.

How would you describe the With Childlike Eyes sound?

the way i describe our sound is: a 3-Dimensional dirty rock band that plays at an incredible rate or a rocky tech-grind band...

How did you get involved with the band?

myself and our guitarist (Ted) were in a band that i will leave nameless together when we decided we wanted something different out of the music we were playing and we grabbed AJ to play the drums for us and the new band was made. so i guess i'm a co-founder.

Can you remember your first gig (how did it go)?

our first gig was at a VFW hall in St. Louis, we only had 5 songs written then and we shocked a lot of people, it was a blast.

Are you involved in any other projects and if so how do they compare to With Childlike Eyes?

no other projects as of yet, but we plan to start working on a mellow side project in the future to balance the equation.

What are your favorite With Childlike Eyes tracks?

my favorite tracks... wow, i love them all... i guess Holy Crip! It's a Crapple! and Pirates and Sluts Don't Make Good Dancing Partners, although i'm really digging our newest song we've been working on called Love is a Nice Way of Saying You Suck at Tennis...
