Q: What’s the story on how you came together to form Thousand Foot Krutch?

A: I started the band in1997 after high school. We’ve all been playing music from a young age. Joel and I met when we were reallyyoung, and later met Steve through the Ontario music scene.

Q: Who came up with the name and what is its significance?

A: To me, the name has always represented the support system our faith is to us. I was 17 at the time haha.

Q: Your songs have very powerful messages. What is your driving force when creating new music?

A: We’re very passionate about our music and what we do, it’s an extension of who we are. Whenever I’m writing for a new record, I always give it to God man, and just ask “What do you want this to be?” We’ve always tried to push our own limits and follow inspiration. Each record is unique in it’s own.

Q: Texas is a long way from your home, Canada. What is your favorite part of touring? What is your least favorite?

A: We love TX!! The best part of touring is getting to connect with everyone each night, feeling that energy, and sharing that time together with our friends/family on the road.

Q: As a band and individuals, you are very active on social media. In today’s tech savvy world, how is being prevalent on social media beneficial to you as a band?

A: We have so many incredible tools nowadays that we never used to have. It’s insane. To be able to get a msg to thousands of ppl in a split second is a far cry from licking envelopes and doing mail outs like we used to!! For us, it’s all about the connection, getting to connect and grow this with the people who support this band and social media allow us to do that.

Q: I know the War of Change tour just started a few days ago and you’re on the road with some great acts. What can we expect from this tour?

A: This tour’s been amazing so far! Such a great group of bands/people, we’re lovin’ it! The response has been amazing, it’s a very high energy show from start to finish. It’s like lighting the wick on a stick of dynamite!!
