Based out of Rochester, NY, WOODHAVEN, is currently on tour with Malevolence and BandRescue.com caught up with them in Alabama during a performance at Shenaniganz . In our interview, you will hear of their influences and crazy times on the road as well as their upcoming tour with Suffokate and where they see themselves in the future.  We had a blast hanging out with the band after the show.  We danced at the venue when Jim, owner of Shenaniganz turned up the tunes afterwards.  We then departed for a local mall where we shared some taco's and conducted our interview.  

 

 The band is currently on their second big tour which is leading up to a nation wide tour with Suffokate in September.  {mosimage}  We saw a band of hard working musicians who have a strong work ethic.  The last band I saw with this drive was Whitechapel.  Wouldn't you know it...Whitechapel just happens to be one of their influences!  The band released their first album on July 15th that they are currently promoting on tour.  Go pick up "Watching From The Shadows" HERE.

 

 

The following information is a little history on the band that we grabbed from their myspace page.

"In late May of 2007 Rochester New York spawned WoodHaven. With a combination of technical offtime guitar riffs, shredding double bass, offtime drumfills, blast beats, gutterals, growls, and slow sludgey breakdowns WoodHaven has created their own style of Deathcore. Be it local shows, surrounding city shows, or touring the 5piece has turned heads and have gained a cult following wherever they go."

Please watch our interview with the band and then go visit their site!

We had to wind down the evening and say goodbye to some great new friends.  It was a sad departure since we felt like we had already known them from other shows.  We know they will be back through the South and you can guarantee we will go meet up with our friends again.  Do yourselves a favor and get to know these guys.  They are a great addition to the genre and we feel they are going places! 

Below you will find our interview, the bands entire set, along with drummer, Matt Robertson's set that we filmed for Sickdrummer.com
