Interview with All Is Fleeting!

-Who is All is Fleeting? Where are you from? How did you all meet? Did you know each other before AIF?

AIF: All is Fleeting is Riley, John,Jaycen, Austin, and Tim(me). The majority of the band is originally from Ojai,Ca (john,riley,austin) but i am from Carpinteria (ten minutes south of Santa Barbara) and Jaycen is from Oxnard. I met the "Ojai crew" at sound and fury 2006 i think? we eventually started a band called Can I Say which eventually molded into All is Fleeting with the addition of Jaycen.

-How would you describe your overall sound?

AIF: i feel we are floating around somewhere in the space between melodic hardcore and pop punk. maybe alternative? i'm horrible with matching sounds to genres.

-What does AIF stand for? What central theme do the lyrics revolve around?

AIF: All is Fleeting was actually a band before I sang for it so the original meaning is unknown. Jaycen is the only original member but i doubt he knows either haha.

-What does AIF have under their belt? Time to brag fellas, aha.

AIF: oh well actually we once played a show with The Kids of Widney High (featured in the movie The Ringer) on the fourth of July at 11:00am. probably the best show we have ever played. oh and we did a weekend not too long ago with our friends in Title Fight. That was the most fun becuase it was just like 12 of us in an rv going wild.

-What has been some of the most MEMORABLE shows up to date?

maybe about a year ago at this venue called the lab in oxnard we accidentally headlined. Those two weekend shows with TF were great as well.

-If you guys could have a 'DREAM' tour who would you play with and where would you tour?

AIF: I've never been out of the U.S. but i hear its the best country so here it is.

full US tour featuring. downpresser/swamp thing/minus/nay sayer/title fight/backtrack/all is fleeting.

i was thinking about some crazy shit with like the foo fighters or something but a u.s. tour with all of my friends that are in bands would top anything. honestly if that ever happens this is my electronic signature to put me out to pasture after the tour. it wouldn't get any better than that.

-What are some of the most HILARIOUS moments for AIF? Inside jokes?

AIF: Dwarfs smuggling moose munch.

-Who are your favorite bands around your area?

AIF: Downpresser

-What should AIF fans be excited for in the next couple months?

AIF: We are playing a record release show for our seven inch called " Stay Awake" in Murrieta mid feb.

-What do you guys love to eat? Any particular places you remember from being on tour that you'll never forget?

AIF: tasty red

-Thanks for the interview! Any Last words?

AIF: "never let anyone tell you how to pit"
