Q&A:

What's the story behind the band name Garagedays?
We have our rehearsal in a garage so it's a fitting band name.

 What are the lyrics about on the album?
About life and how it can fuck you in the ass.
One song is called "Father" that is about a ten year old girl who got raped by her father. A very dark song.

Which song from the new album are you looking forward to play live the most?
"Last Breath" and "Piece Of Shit". Both are great kickass rockers.

Any guests on the album?
No guests on the album.

How come you picked the Sonic Train Studios to mix the album?
I got in contact with Andy last year and he had good rates for mixing and mastering new young bands.

Any plans to come and play in Sweden?
We really hope so. That would be great. Sweden Rock Festival would be fantastic.

What is the best moment in this band so far?
Our demo got a great review in Metal Hammer magazine a couple of years ago and we got 9.8 / 10 in an American metal magazine Metal Bite as well.

What are the plans for the rest of 2010?
Finish the album. More gigs. Get a record deal.
