![]() ![]() We think it's true that the era of classic rock produced music that just doesn't seem to exist today. ![]() “We love a wide range of music but really enjoy classic rock music with decent soulful lead guitar and lots of feel! Our parents Kevin and Carmel like this kind of music and it's because of them that we like it too. ![]() We think it worked out really well though :)”. We have to try to get all levels perfect when we play it as we can't control individual instrument volumes afterwards. We have slowly been getting our recordings better and we've ended up putting all instruments though a mixer and then going directly into our zoom recorder. We really love the song because of the emotion in it and Daniel loves the feel of the lead guitar and really wanted the challenge of playing it. We have a big list of possible songs that we might play and this is a song that Daniel said he really wanted to do. This is one of the songs that we perform and video live in our rumpus room. When talking about the video below, the band said, “This is “Still Got the Blues” by Gary Moore. This is good for variety and a chance to play with other people!” “We also all play individually at school in concert bands and big jazz bands and we sing in our school choirs. Our songs have lots of lead guitar evenly split between Daniel and Matthew to keep it all fair!!” “We're really excited that we'll be able to share our 3 original songs after the Rockquest competition and think that our music could be described as guitar orientated rock with an upbeat soulful pop twist and lots of vocal harmonies. The covers we like to do are classic rock guitar based music.” We practice as our duos and for school music in between! We mainly do covers but we also have a few originals. ![]() On a Monday we run through our full 30 covers, then Wednesday and Thursday we spend working on new covers and also writing our own songs. We play as a full band three times a week. The sisters in the rhythm section are twins and there’s only 3 years between all four members! For our age we think we play really well and it's because we practice a lot. “Well I suppose what's special about the RUMPUS band is that all the members are from the same family and are very young. Hi guys, can you tell us a little bit about the Rumpus Band’s music and background? We spoke to Kevin Hyde, father of the band members, and the band themselves about their musical influences and background.
