Featured Spotlight: War Stories

By Jazmin Temores, Staff Writer, and Katherine Cunningham, Guest Writer

Earlier this week, FVHS had the privilege of having a talented indie/alternative rock band called War Stories perform during lunch. The band members, who are originally  from San Diego, include Evan Robinson on vocals, Reid Curby on guitar, Eric Mace on bass, and Andrew Rivera on drums. They are signed by the label NunConrad and have been touring high schools in southern California. Their performance left students shocked and amazed; Barons would run up to them to get free merchandise, take  pictures with them on the red carpet, and ask them for their autographs (one girl even wrote her name on them arms and told them to make it a tattoo). Baron Banner had a chance to talk to them after the excitement subsided.

Baron Banner: How long have you been playing together?

War Stories: We\’ve been playing together for over 6 years.

BB: When did you guys first meet?

WS: Evan and I (Reid) met eight years ago in Temecula where we worked. From there, we formed our band.

BB: Where can people get a hold on your albums?

WS: You can find our two albums Arm Yourself and War Stories Vol. 1 on iTunes. You can also find them free streaming on myspace.com/warstoriesmusic.

BB: Thank you for your time and good luck on your tour!

WS: Thank you.

War stories will continue their high school tour throughout Southern California; their next lunch concert is at Mira Mesa High School. If you want to keep in contact with the band, you can add them on Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter. Hopefully War Stories will come back and visit us soon. In the meantime, Barons, buy their albums!
