The Great Southern Brainfart has issued an interview with WHITE WIZZARD vocalist Wyatt Anderson. The following is an excerpt:

Q: So when did you start singing then?

A: "That would’ve been my 11th grade year in high school. Some friends of mine had a band that my cousin was singing for. He had graduated and joined the military so they needed a singer. I figured I’d try out and that was my first singing gig. They were called GREY DAZE. [laughs] It was a blast. We thought we were the shit in high school but then again, when you’re in high school, what do you really know?" [laughs]

Q: Who would you say are some of your biggest influences as a singer?

A: "Oh well, starting with the old school of course you got RONNIE JAMES DIO, ROB HALFORD, BRUCE DICKINSON, GEOFF TATE and I also listen to a lot of the newer bands like PRIMAL FEAR, ICED EARTH, STRATOVARIUS. I listen to anything with a singer that has a great voice. My main ones are the old school ones."

Q: In April 2010, you announced that you were leaving White Wizzard. In the time that you were gone did you work on any other projects or anything?

A: "I was actually considering quitting music altogether. I had moved back to Florida and got back together with my now soon to be wife. I told her that I was just done and tired of dealing with all the personal bullshit that has to go along with being in a band. I told her I was thinking I would just stay here and try to be a family man and she said, 'Yeah right. We’ll see how long that lasts'.”
