Zombie Juice Press interview with Jeremy Thirteenth



Bringing back a theatrical kind of music that tells a story, Snow White’s Poison Bite’s new album "The Story Of Kristy Killings" tells a haunting tale from anything from a horror story to a love story. Influenced by monsters and ghouls such as Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, Dracula, Frankenstein, and The Munsters, SWPB is a modern—day Misfits with catchy riffs and clean vocals. Uniting their fans by creating “The Horror Crew,” Jeremy Thirteenth wants everyone to feel a part of something, especially apart of his horror family for all of the creeps.

1) What first got you interested in forming a band and creating music?

“I first really got into music when I started high school 'cause everybody was listening to gothic bands such as Cradle Of Filth and Children Of Bodom. My grandma bought me my first guitar when she found out that I was interested in music. I was never in any other bands growing up SWPB is the first band I’ve been in and I also formed it myself.”



2) How did you and your band members meet?

“I met the old members over the internet.”



3) For you is SWPB a hobby or a career?

“I can't really call it a career yet, but I hope that someday I’ll be making music for a living.”



4) What is your favorite song that you and your band have originally composed?

“I write all the music for this band myself, so it's hard to say what song I like the most. They all have a different meaning to me and are a big part of my life.”



5) Are there any specific people, artists, or bands that inspire you and influence your music?

“Everything inspires me in music, there is so many artists/people to mention. One of my biggest influences in music is my grandma.

“The Misfits!”

9) What is your favorite thing about being in a band?

“Making music and playing shows, but most importantly the fans (Horror Crew,) that's what this band is here for.”



10) If you could give advice to anyone who wanted to start a band what would that be?

11) What gave you all the idea to start the "Horror Crew"?

“I want all the SWPB fans around the world to know that this band is a family and we're in it together. The Horror crew is a home for the kids who feel alone or have problems in their life. I want them to know that I’ve been through the same kind of stuff and that I’m here for all of them. It's a home for the creeps!!!”



12) If you could sum up your lifestyle in one word what would that be?

“Music.”



13) Why do people refer to you as Jeremy 13th?

“Jeremy Thirteenth is an artist name I created and it's the "evil" side of me. It's the side that says "I don't give a shit what you think about me" I just want to be myself, and I don't care what haters have to say about it. The skeleton face represents a messed up person and a person who's here for all the other messed up people.”



14) What kind of message do you try to send to your listeners?

“My message is to always follow your dreams and don't stop, no matter what people say. If you're alone, this band is here for you and always remember to be yourself.”



15) Are there any news or updates you'd like to give your fans and "Horror Crew" members?

“I'll be announcing new members for the band real soon and we will have new music coming also. I'm working on a new album and I can promise everybody that it's going to be more amazing than "The Story Of Kristy Killings" is. Last but not least, a BIG thanks to all the SWPB fans around the world. Join the Horror Crew 'cause we're in this together CREEPS!!!”
