September 11, 2008, 16 years ago
BW&BK; recently spoke to HYDROGYN vocalist Julie Westlake about the band's new album, Deadly Passions. The following is an excerpt from the interview:
"It’s kind of weird for me being referred to as a metalhead because I came from a country music background," Julie reveals. "Up until about six years ago I didn’t listen to rock or metal, just country and gospel music. I got into it because Jeff and our former guitarist, Jeff Boggs, were in my country band, and they were writing for what would become Hydrogyn. They needed a vocalist and asked me if I would do it, and I was up for the challenge. I guess it’s something that’s always been inside of me because now I love singing the material. And during the writing process I’m always pushing to make things a little darker. It’s all starting to come out, as you can hear on the new album.”
