The Hang:

In this latest episode of The Hang, Scott sits down with the Connecticut-based band Internet Tears to dive deep into their journey, musical evolution, and the emotional connection behind their name. Comprised of founding members Daniel Lewis (vocals, songwriting) and Mikey Feliciano, alongside guitarist Esteban Rivera and drummer Zach Apuso, Internet Tears brings a unique blend of synth-pop, punk rock, and indie influences to the table.

The band started in post-hardcore but transitioned to a sound that Daniel was passionate about, paving the way for their current dynamic style. In this conversation, they share how their music has evolved over the years, and the balance they strike between creating something perfect and accepting that imperfection can make art more genuine.

This pursuit of excellence extends to their live performances, which are energetic, emotional, and ever-evolving. Whether performing in intimate venues or larger stages, Internet Tears always brings something fresh to their audience by reinterpreting their songs in a live setting.

The band members also talk about their musical inspirations, from international acts like Last Dinosaurs and Four Year Strong to local talent such as Pangea World Beat and Madeline. Their appreciation for these artists speaks to their own openness to exploring different sounds and supporting the local music scene. The conversation rounds out with a message of supporting local bands and purchasing their music to help sustain the indie music industry.
