An Interview With Withering
We have Nil Valliere on drums , Vincent Monfette plays the guitar , Yanic Berubé on Bass , Jass on vocals. And a new unannounced member Mick Mongeau on lead guitar and back vocals
Were any of you guys in other bands worth mentioning before Withering got started?
Jass , Nil and Vincent were in a deathcore band called A Hitman's Business. Mick comes from a melo-hardcore band called GLoria Victis and Watch Your Step the oldest hardcore band in sherbrooke.
Jass ,before AHB and Withering , had a Lamb of god Tribute and a grindcore band called Comatmebro.
Yanic was a virgin of the scence before Withering
What do you guys do when your not playing shows or destroying your practice place? What are your day jobs?
We try our best to keep the passion going
Nil and Mike work in Workshops
Vincent and Yanic are 3D artists
and Jass is a Bouncer at the Sherbrooke Venue Bar Le Magog
What is the scene like in your hometown of Sherbrooke, Quebec?
Our scene is agonising..local bands are breaking up one after the other , the youth dont show up or are unaware of the Sherbrooke Hardcore-Metal scene
We work so hard to bring good shows in our home town. We have killer venues, it would be a shame loosing them in apathy.
Do you guys get a good response from the crowd.
Sherbrooke is not used to having Slow and brutal stuff.
But in the outside shows people dig it^^
Are there any new releases in the works?
First EP coming out in march, also merch... basicly everything is coming out in spring 2015
Who designed your logo? Pretty sick!

the artist is Alex B. O'dowd
