Connecticut hardcore band Boundaries were already charging headfirst into before last year even came to an end. Can you tell us a little bit about Boundaries for anyone who might not be familiar?
Boundaries is a band that started a few years ago, that is largely a mash-up of other CT bands who broke up but had a few members that still wanted to play music. The content and sound has always been dark, heavy, and honest, which is something we work really hard to maintain with every release and live performance. You guys will be releasing your new album, My Body In Bloom next month! What are you most excited for listeners to hear on the album?
Like we try to do with every release, we showed some more of ourselves and our influences on this new record and are really excited to see how people react to that. Did you have any major goals in mind when you first started working on My Body In Bloom? A record with a distinct pulse and flavor. We had written a song that was our personal benchmark of what we felt capable of and what the standard should be and moved on from there.
This required logging dozens of hours over roughly 8 weeks to write and pre-produce MBIB but the end result is exactly what we wanted. What was the most rewarding or most challenging moment of the recording process? We recorded MBIB with a really great engineer named Dan Colombo out in Nashville, we are very happy with the decision to go to him, but going to someone so far away, with our budget both financially and time wise was a very real challenge.
We were exhausted creatively and physically but it was all worth it. I understand that this track has a pretty significant meaning — can you tell us a little bit about what inspired it? Blush tells a story of repetition and damage. Growing up I had to learn how to tune out the screaming matches, the doors being punched in, and personal belongings being smashed. It sent me deep within myself and I will probably never know all the ways it affected me but Blush is an attempt to bring some of those ways to the surface.
Do you have any other big plans in the works for ? Any tour dates or shows coming up? There is still a lot being figured out but we expect to have a very busy spring and summer.
