The interview with Logic defies logic, live @ the Espy on Thursday, March 19th for Emergenza Festival Australia: 

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF YOUR BAND: WHEN WAS IT BORN AND HOW?
LDL was born in Hamilton, NZ in 2011. Ollie, Matt, Dom and Ian started composing as an instrumental band, releasing a self titled EP in 2012 and then the full length "Anatomical Design" in 2013. We played several high profile gigs and quickly made a mark, opening for Between the Buried and Me and Animals as Leaders. Late 2013 saw a relocation to Melbourne (for all except Ian) and after a brief hiatus the band reconvened in mid 2014 and quickly enlisted vocalist Tarquin. Immediately starting gigging and recording, we have recorded a re-jigged EP of songs with vocals from "Anatomical Design" and started work on our first album as LDL...2.0.

WHAT ARE YOUR MUSICAL INFLUENCES?
Faith No More, Pantera, Opeth, Primus, Dream Theater, King Crimson, Van Halen...anything with soul, groove and melody.

HOW WOULD YOU DESCRIBE YOUR STYLE? TALK US ABOUT THE PECULIARITIES OF YOUR MUSIC!
We have many names for our sound...pleasure groove, organic metal being a couple. We don't put any limit on what we write...at the same time, if it isn't strong enough musically to get past the four of us, it won't survive! The strangest thing about our music is that it doesn't belong to any one genre...and that is something we are proud of.

IS THERE A SONG THAT IS SPECIAL FOR YOU? IF SO, WHICH ONE AND WHY?
All our songs are special to us. They are like kids...you don't pick a favourite. Or if you do, you keep it secret from the other kids haha.

ON AVERAGE, HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU SPEND  PLAYING AND HOW CAN YOU BALANCE THIS WITH YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE?
Put it this way...everyday life sometimes gets in the way of playing!

HOW DID YOU KNOW ABOUT EMERGENZA FESTIVAL AND WHY YOU DECIDED TO TAKE PART IN IT?
We had heard about it being a respected competition so we decided if we could get our music to people that might not otherwise hear it, why not? Typically we dont like to enter "competitions" but being a band starting out in a new country, we embrace any opportunity.

DOES THE COMPETITION WITH OTHER BANDS WORRY YOU OR GIVE YOU ENERGY?
We don't really see it as being in competition with any bands, it's more of a chance to meet new people and have a good time! 

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT FROM EMERGENZA AND HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT YOUR FIRST EMERGENZA CONCERT?        
We expect to have a great time, rock some socks and meet some new friends! How do we feel about the first concert? PUMPED! SEE YOU IN THE PIT!!!
