Building A Community Through Music: An Interview with Survive Said The Prophet

Survive Said The Prophet (often abbreviated as SSTP) are a Japanese rock band that formed in 2011. Their music defies typical genre norms, and includes elements of rock, pop, electro, hip hop, and R&B. Their music is known the world over, and it's very likely you've heard a song or two of their's already. Some of their most popular tracks include “NE:ONE” (CODE GEASS: Lelouch of the Rebellion III -Glorification), “RED” (Banana Fish), “Papersky” (TOKYO TWENTY FOURTH WARD), and most recently, “Paradox” (Vinland Saga). That only names a few, as listing them all would probably take up this entire article. They were recently a Guest of Honor at this year's FanimeCon, and even held their first ever West Coast concert on the second day of the convention. We were lucky enough catch up with them following their show, and conducted an interview that was as fun as it was informative. We discussed everything from their formation, their biggest songs, the then-recent FanimeCon concert, and their hopes for the many upcoming shows and tours that are on the horizon. This interview is sure to delight those who are already fans of Survive Said The Prophet, as well as those who are discovering them for the first time! As always, check out the interview, and be sure to follow them via the social media links at the end!
