Former vocalist and frontman of HAIL THE VILLAIN Bryan Crouch, who left the band last year after blowing out his voice, has returned to the music scene with SIX SIDE DIE. He recently spoke to Tunelab.com about his return; an excerpt is available below:

Q: Starting off, could you take us through who Six Side Die is?

Crouch: "Six Side Die is a band that has been created kinda out of necessity, and kinda because I just couldn’t let music go. After I left Hail the Villain or parted ways with them, and unlike how Hail the Villain was a lot about the branding and the imagery and just the whole comic book scene, this is now all about the music, and that’s purely what we’ve written it for."

Q: If you could describe a specific style or sub-genre… does it fit into one easily that can be described? Or is it just kinda what it is.

Crouch: "It is rock and roll, so it’s hard to put a name on it. There’s some heavy elements to it, there’s some screaming elements to it, and there’s a lot more melodic elements to it that I’ve never done before. There’s a lot more attention paid I guess to big hooks and a big chorus, and something I find a bit easier to listen to than the stuff I did previously."

Q: Part of what made Hail The Villain what they were, was you specifically; your style and charisma as a frontman and how insane you were on stage was what defined the band as far as your live show. Was that you? Or was that something you did to 'be' Hail The Villain?

Crouch: "That’s an awesome question because when I started with the band they looked at me like I was a total idiot and complete clown. As it went on, it became something everyone kept talking about and the guys eventually embraced it as actually being good for the band. I’ve had full rehearsals with Six Side Die and I just get more intense with each rehearsal we have. I can’t shut that guy off. I think that guy makes me feel comfortable on stage and makes my audience turn around and say Okay, that guy looks like an idiot, I can act like an idiot.' And then we have a whole room full of idiots by the time I’m done."
