Kyle Green (Bend - guitar/vocals)
SPB: How has your musical taste evolved over the years? Do you think your “high school self” would appreciate the music you make now?
Green: My musical taste is ever-evolving. In high school I was into a lot of punk and ska. I also had a huge obsession with Kurt Cobain. The music i play nowadays is nothing like the high school bands I was in but is definitely reminiscent of my years before punk (‘90s alternative/grunge/indie). I feel like Bend is where I found myself musically. You can hear punk influences in it, but the songs are very deep, meaningful, yet simplistic in form.
