Natural Born Rockers
By: Isaac Davis Jr., BGS, MBA
JC Internet Indie Radio Community Magazine is proud to present our latest interview with Natural Born Rockers. With a sound that puts the band in a league of their own, Natural Born Rockers are making music that fans are rocking hard to these days. In this recent spotlight with Natural Born Rockers, we get to know more about the band and their hopes, dreams, and goals. Enjoy!
Isaac: What was the best part of 2008 for you musically?
Natural Born Rockers: For the band, 2008 was a very important year in our careers. We made a lot of connections worldwide and made our name know outside of our country. As far as the music world goes, 2008 was a good year. We could listen to very good albums like Death Magnetic from Metallica and Black Ice from AC/DC . And on top of that, we could see what was the vision of Axl Rose on Guns N’ Roses and Chinese Democracy.
Isaac: What do you feel was your biggest accomplishment for 2008?
Natural Born Rockers: Definitely was gettin’ our record released in the US through Renaissance Records. We have known a lot of people and bands that we shouldn’t have known if we haven’t released the record in North America.
Isaac: Describe the music scene in your area.
Natural Born Rockers: We don’t believe there’s a scene that we can relate here in Rio de Janeiro. But there is a couple of bands that people would say there are similar to us. What we can say is there’s a live and strong independent scene here that reaches all kinds of band; which is good and bad at the same time.
Isaac: What has been the best venue to perform at and why?
Natural Born Rockers: There were a few of them. We usually say that the venue doesn’t matter that much if the audience was into it. And that’s totally true. Although we had great gigs at good venues like Cultural Space at Vista Alegre and the classic independent venue here in Rio. Circo Voador. The sound was great, the band was perfect and the crowd was insane!!! We couldn’t ask for more.
Isaac: Elaborate a little about whom were your biggest influences in the music industry and why?
Natural Born Rockers: Wow, this can go on forever! From the Beatles to Kings of Leon, every awesome band there was around through all these time. But we can name a couple for their longevity and success like Bon Jovi and Aerosmith. We’d like to name Kiss too, but since there’s a different line up…
Isaac: Let's talk about what you feel you will bring to the music industry?
Natural Born Rockers: We believe that we can bring back that Bad Ass Mother****in’ Rock that we miss so much these days . With the exception of 3 or 4 underestimated bands around we are not seeing much of these bands anymore. And we are eager to take this torch and crave it at the top of the mountain again. And what we can bring to the music industry, that freedom and craziness that Rock N’ Roll is in need so much these days.
Isaac: If you had an opportunity to work with one artist or group, who would it be and why?
Natural Born Rockers: This is another question that can go on forever!! But right now we think we can restrict it to songwriters and producers. For songwriting, we would like to work with Desmond Child, Izzy Stradlin, Rob Thomas and Dave Ghrol. There all great with an amazing melodic sense. As producers go, we really like to see how Will.I.Am would sound in a true Rock N’ Roll record. Bob Rock simply because the guy is a genius. Brendan O’ Brien and Rick Rubin because they are always make up to date records without losing the old feel.

Isaac: How would you describe your music to others?
