Glastonbury born and bred trio Dive In are serving their own blend of synth-pop realness.

\"Dive<\/a><\/p>\n

Good things come to those who wait. There are plenty of pop groups serving catchy choruses and alluring falsetto vocals, but it’s been a while since a band can achieve this with an ice cool authority. Dive In does this with aplomb. Their new track “Eighteen”, a synth pop ballad with a tween charm, is the lead track of their EP of the same name. We meet with the boys from Glastonbury to see what they’ve been up to.<\/p>\n

Your name is Dive In. How did you come about this name?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The name actually derives from a lyric in one of our songs. We liked how it kind of encompassed all that this band is about, our mantra if you like.<\/p>\n

How did you guys meet?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It was a mutual love of music that brought us together. We each found ourselves back in Pilton, Glastonbury, and searching for the next chapter. It was kind of inevitable that the three of us would end up in a studio together.<\/p>\n

Do you three have similar tastes in music?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Our taste in music is most definitely something that’s grown and developed during our time with each other. So yeah, for sure.<\/p>\n

Who are the biggest influences for your music?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We listen to A LOT of music so naturally we’re going to be influenced (be it subconsciously) on some level.\u00a0 Our writing and production process, however, is such an organic and natural affair that it’s always hard to pin point any direct musical influences. It’s not like we sit down and say, “Well, this song needs to sound like this band,\u2019 you know? It’s all about feel. That in itself is probably the biggest influence.<\/p>\n

You\u2019re signed with Vagrant in the states and with Good Soldier Songs in the UK. Would you say your music is better received in the US or back home?<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s early days but we seem to be going down well on both sides of the pond at this point. Time will tell. All feels very positive right now though.<\/p>\n
