You Know they are good, playing with only the Best of the Best! 

But When They aren't sleeping and being totally awesome, they took the time out to answer a few questions answered by the totally awesome Guitarist  Robert Suthern.

Where are you from?Canberra, Australia

How did you get the name "When Giants Sleep?
I came up with it randomly after thinking of heaps of different names, and everyone seemed 

to agree on it, not a very exciting story really!  (laughs)


How do you describe your music to people, who haven’t heard of you?
Amity crossed Getaway Plan, that's what i usually say anyway,

or the softest band at a hardcore show or the heaviest band at a softer show. We're smack bang in the middle.


If a song would play, when you walked into a room what would it be?
The XX - Intro

 
New Year, New You, What is some goals you aspire to reach this year?
We will have a professional film clip done by Ben Clements (House Vs Hurricane, Amity Affliction) coming out within the next few months as well as writing a whole lot more this year, we have about 6 new songs in the writing process at the moment!

For all those who don't know, Ben is the genius that shot & edited blood knuckles 
and does a lot of professional photography.  (seen Here)

If you had to save the world how would you guys do it?

(laughs)  By using our instruments as weapons!


My Fight, Your Monsters was released 2012, In Three Words Describe The EP for the Fans?

Unique, Young, Interesting


What is your favourite song of your own and the inspiration behind it?
Reluctant Weather, Helpful Hands - In general it is about being completely defeated. The writing style towards that song is open ended and people can interpret  that as there own experience, people can make their own stories out of the lyrics. Also the guitar writing style is something we never had really done before, and it adds a whole new element to our set (video to be released in march) (and we can't wait to see it either)


For someone who never went to one of your shows, What would they expect?

An Energetic live performance with heart and soul put into every song.



If you could collaborate with anyone who would it be?
Anyone who's willing to share some piece of mind with us and a musical bromance, and someone that we can get along with and work well together.


You have played support to so many talented artists,how was this experience for you?

Absolutely amazing, we can not be more thankful for all the bands we have played for and all the people we have met throughout our whole journey of playing. It's crazy, some of the bands we grew up listening to in college we are now sharing the stage with!


Thank You Rob,And The WGS Team
