Glide Magazine recently caught up with vocalist SEBASTIAN BACH to discuss his new album, Kicking & Screaming. An excerpt is available below:

Glide Magazine: Another favorite song is the second track, 'My Own Worst Enemy'.

Bach: "Yeah, that is one of my favorite ones. To me, what is weird about that song is my singing. To me, I sound like a little boy in that song. I don’t know why but just the sound of my voice, I sound like a teenager and I’m definitely not a teenager (laughs). I attribute it all to clean living. But that song, 'My Own Worst Enemy', to me sounds like a bunch of pissed off teenagers. I don’t know why God gave me this voice that has a life of it’s own but a lot of the songs on this record – 'As Long As I Got The Music', 'Caught In A Dream' – I just sound very youthful, just very, very young sounding and I don’t know how the fuck I pulled that off (laughs)."

Glide Magazine: You have different voices on different songs, your versatility is amazing.

Bach: "Yes. I know my voice very, very well after all this time and I know how to and what to do. Like 'Dream Forever', when that song starts, it’s me singing as low as I can. As the day goes on, my voice gets like higher-pitched and higher-pitched. I don’t know why that is, that’s just the way it works. So that song, 'Dream Forever', when I really want to sing low like that, (singing) 'All I believe is what I see', like that’s really low for me. But I’ll record right when I get up in the morning and I won’t even speak. I’ll go to the microphone without even talking as soon as I get up and I’ll have the producer there with a coffee in my hand and I’ll sing that very, very low range, and it sounds like fucking velvet. It sounds like so, very, very resonate; has a very good tone. So if I want to sing low, I make sure I do it early in the morning and then I can get that really silky smooth kind of tone. But you can really hear it in 'Dream Forever'. I fucking nailed it on that one (laughs)."
