A ROCKET TO THE MOON

***All questions answered by Eric Halvorsen of A Rocket To The Moon***

What’s your take on Valentine’s Day? Do you celebrate it, or do you hate it?

I am not the biggest fan of Valentines day to be honest. In fact, I’d say it is my least favorite holiday. I don’t exactly know what it is about v-day that causes me to dislike it. Probably because I haven’t had a real girlfriend since 8th grade and she dumped me the day before valentines day. True story.

Do you remember your first valentine?

My first valentine was my whole 1st grade class. We always had v-day parties in elementary school and we would make cards for everyone in the class. I guess that makes me a player.

What’s the most romantic thing you’ve done for Valentine’s Day?

Well like I said, I was dumped the day before valentines day in 8th grade. I had gone out a few days before and bought my girlfriend some cheesy presents like a giant stuffed polar bear and some candy and a card. She dumped me so I gave everything to my friend Gamez as a joke. My parents were a little confused haha. Funny thing too, Gamez and her started dating shortly after haha.

If you were to contribute one of your songs for a Valentine’s Day mixtape, what song would you choose?

We sing a lot about love, and sometimes about heartbreak as well. Since I have only experienced the latter on v-day, I would say Like We Used To is my perfect Valentines day song.

SING IT LOUD

What’s your take on Valentine’s Day? Do you celebrate it, or do you hate it?

I celebrate it. For me I think Valentine’s Day is awesome if you have someone special to spend it with.

Do you remember your first valentine?

I do. She was a girl I had an enormous crush on in elementary school. I gave her such rad candy, better than all the other kids in my class.

What’s the most romantic thing you’ve done for Valentine’s Day?

I wrote and recorded a song telling this girl how I felt about her, got her a dozen roses and a bag full of Valentine’s Day goodies.

If you were to contribute one of your songs for a Valentine’s Day mixtape, what song would you choose?

I’d put “No One Can Touch Us” on the mixtape because it’s a song talking about how stoked you are in your relationship.

THE SUMMER SET

***All questions answered by Josh Montgomery of The Summer Set***

What’s your take on Valentine’s Day? Do you celebrate it, or do you hate it?

I don’t understand how you could hate a holiday about love. I guess there’s a lot of lonely people who are a little bitter.

Do you remember your first valentine?

yes, I was in the sixth grade she dumped me after I gave her a cute Teddy bear.

What’s the most romantic thing you’ve done for Valentine’s Day?

I cooked dinner for my ex girlfriend but I forgot to turn on the oven and the lasagna never cooked. We ordered Chinese.

If you were to contribute one of your songs for a Valentine’s Day mixtape, what song would you choose?

Passenger Seat. Its a nice little love story about sneaking out to spend the night with the one you love.
