 And together their musical expertise put together makes up the perfection that is Clear Skies. It is such a great honor to talk to the boys on 2013 for them.










How did you come up with the band name and what is the history behind the name? 
Jake came up with the name in his sleep one day, we were searching for a band name that fit us uniquely and we couldn't come up with anything until it randomly popped into his head! The name just refers to a new beginning, a fresh start as musicians on our own in a new place, clear skies ahead! 


 Is there any bands or artists you look up too as a musical influence? 
Brooks really values Blink 182 as his major influence in his drumming style.
 Jake doesn't claim any one individual influence but has a love for all kinds of music from classical, to hip hop and anything in between. 


The Song 'I Gotta Know' is amazing, What was the inspiration behind it? 
The song was written about a girl that Jake was seeing at the time. She was sending him lots of mixed signals and he just wanted to know if she liked him back. 

A preview of the song can be seen here: 

If you guys were to describe yourself in simple word choice.. What would you say?
 Precision. Everything we do is calculated down to the last detail as a band. We are dedicated to this group and to our fans and give 110% in everything we do musically. We owe it to ourselves and the people who listen to us to give them the very best product with every song and every item of merchandise. To do any less would be criminal! 


What made you want to be in a band? 
Brooks and Jake have both played music for a very long time. Both have been in bands since they were about 12 years old and really couldn't picture themselves doing anything else. 

What are the Names and Nicknames of the people in the band? 
The members of clear skies are Jake, lead songwriter,and Brooks, percussion.
 We don't have any nicknames persay; We have way too many inside jokes to keep track of though. We will bust out laughing about absolutely nothing most of the time and people will just sort of stare at us! 

 New Year, New You,What are some goals for 2013? 
We have many goals for 2013. But the principle goal is to continue to put out the best possible music, the best possible merch, play every show to the highest of our abilities, and give everyone the time of day no matter who they are or what they have to say. 

Where are you boys from?
 Brooks was born in Seattle, Washington but is from Silver Lake, Kansas.
 Jake was born in Honolulu, Hawaii but is from Manhattan, Kansas. 


 When I say Australia, What are some things that come to mind? 
Kangaroos! 
Vegemite,
 rugby,
 Russel Crowe! 
beautiful girls obviously  
and our dear, dear friends A Sleepless Melody, 
a pop rock band like us from Melbourne!
 Matthew and Andrew are some of the nicest guys you'll ever meet and if you get the chance to see them play, go! and tell em Clear Skies says Oi! 


 And Lastly, What Genre Would you classify yourself as?
 An easy classification would be to label us as Pop Rock. That's what we define ourselves as and we believe our fans do too.




I see Big things for these boys and know there are big things coming their way!
