The guys in this band are a tight-knit family. Brian
explained, “We’re all transplants from other states and
countries.” With their biological families elsewhere,
they’ve chosen their own family of rock. Gemini Syndrome
embarks on plenty of adventures together -- whether it’s
trying out massage chairs in the middle of a mall while on
tour or writing lyrics.
Aaron and Brian explained that the inspiration for their
lyrics come from personal experiences or things they’ve
witnessed. The song “Zealot,” off the album “Memento
Mori,” was inspired by a news story on The Daily Show
about a religious extremist who showed up in a mosque in
Arizona opening gun fire.
As the messenger and vocalist in the band, Aaron
recognizes that he has the ability to reach the masses. His
lyrics convey peace, love, harmony, happiness, and the
changes we go through as people in our quest for these
ideals.
The band continues to spread their message across the
country in their 2017 “Brought to Light Tour.” Brian and
Asron
Aaron like to think that fans identify with their music because the lyrics “shine a light to awaken a part of their fans.” “There’s
a tendency to demonize the bad and glorify the good, but they can’t exist without one another,” Brian stated. Aaron agreed,
“It’s part of finding a balance in the comforts of life but not creating an ego.” Brian credits his own personal growth to
“someone wiser and kinder leading me to water”. Aaron agreed that part of life is doing that for someone else, whenever
you’re presented with that opportunity.
Gemini Syndrome certainly seems to have found a
balance in their duality, not just in name alone, but
in the way that they live their lives. Aaron is a
trained martial artist, which has influenced his
perspective -- which is rich in respect for others and
being aware of the energy you put out to the
universe.
Being a believer in energy work myself, I have to say
it doesn’t surprise me that all these talented, like-
minded, musicians found one another. “To have
Meegs in the band right now feels incredible. We
came full circle,” Brian said, as Meegs walked over
to us. The band is returning to the studio this winter
to record a new album entitled “Singularity.”
