DROWNING POOL Interviewed By Adlercast.com; Video Available
June 4, 2009Brian Adler of Adlercast.com has uploaded a five-part interview with vocalist Ryan McCombs and guitarist C.J. Pierce of the Texas hard rock band DROWNING POOL. Watch it below.
DROWNING POOL returned home on May 26 after playing a private show for the troops at Guantanamo Bay on Memorial Day, May 25. The invitation from the U.S. Navy came two years after the start of the "Soldiers" campaign. Through commitment and perseverance, the band has played over 300 shows and is geared up to release the fourth single from its 2007 CD, "Full Circle".
"Any time we get the chance to play in front of the troops, it is a great honor and they're always the best crowds," says McCombs. "When we got the call, we were like, 'Hell yeah, let's go rock Guantanamo Bay. It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance and I don't know of many artists that get an invitation like this."
After two years of supporting "Full Circle", DROWNING POOL will take part in the highly anticipated Crüe Fest 2 tour which stars MÖTLEY CRÜE and features additional support from GODSMACK, THEORY OF A DEADMAN, and introduces CHARM CITY DEVILS. DROWNING POOL will take a break from the studio where they are recording their next studio album in Dallas.
DROWNING POOL — Ryan McCombs (vocals),CJ Pierce (guitar),Stevie Benton (bass) and Mike Luce (drums) — has overcome its fair share of adversity: tragedy, internal struggles, leaving their major record label and multiple incidents of theft over the last few years.
Says Pierce, "We have been through the ups and downs of this business, but stayed true to our goal of bringing kick-ass rock music to our fans around the world. We’ve never given up when we felt down for the count. Now we have Crüe Fest 2 and we are grateful for the opportunity to reach a new audience. It’s pretty unbelievable where are right now."
