Following is an excerpt from an interview with vocalist Tricia Stanley conducted by BW&BK; scribe Carl Begai conducted late last year:
Not quite metal (yet) and a world away from pop rock (thankfully), Modified have proven crossover potential in that they’re radio friendly – a perfect fit for the modern-edged THREE DAYS GRACE / BREAKING BENJAMIN / SIXX:A.M. rock crowd – yet are fully capable of grabbing the attention of a greasy and / or goth metal-loving legion. Tricia chalks it up to her own and guitarist Anthony Xander’s diverse musical backgrounds.
“I was in a rock band before Modified, but it was definitely going in a pop direction and I always wanted to go heavier,” she explains. “I’ve always liked heavier music but I also identify with pop music, while Anthony is more from the industrial school, so when we got together those elements turned into the Modified sound. We pretty much do everything together. We’ll come up with our own musical ideas and play with them, we’ll jam them out as a band. It can be a lot of fun, and the whole creative process comes naturally to us so it doesn’t feel like work. I mean, I couldn’t play volleyball to save my life because it’s no fun for me (laughs). Songwriting on the other hand comes fairly easy. I really enjoy it.”“I find that some of our newer stuff is going in a heavier direction,” she continues. “It’s not so much that we’re trying to go heavier, but this band is just getting better all the time. Anthony is a great guitarist and I don’t think he’s really had the chance to show his potential yet. And our drummer Jones, it’s not about ‘Hey, look how fast I can play the double kick…’ We don’t want or need any kind of showoff stuff like that in this band. The new music is still melodic and I think it’s still radio-friendly, we’re just pushing it a little more. I think the new songs go a bit more in a metal direction.”
