Parks Bonifay. Snyder says these guys are hiswakeboarding pals, so they seemed to be the perfectsubjects for this video.As he repeatedly makes clear, Snyder is not one torest. Plans for another album, to be released aroundJanuary 2005, are already in the works. He says thefirst four songs on Heart and Soul represent the directionof the band’s upcoming release. “The next albumis going to be the CD that measures this band for whatit’s all about,” he firmly states.After speaking with Snyder, it’s easy to understandwhy there is an unstoppable driving energy withinBadFashion’s sound. “My music is a direct reflectionof who I am,” he says. “My personality is aggressiveand mission-oriented, so all the songs kind of havethat same [feeling].” Fans appreciate the motivatingquality of the music, and its get-off-your-ass adrenalinerush. “Everyone that listens to it seems to beenergized. That’s not necessarily the message I wastrying to get across, but that’s the message they’regetting.”Backed by more than a decade of music experience,BadFashion show no signs of tiring and will continueto be motivated to do what they love – making music.For Snyder, success is not totally defined by getting arecord deal and living a rock star dream. “My definitionof success has slightly changed to the point wherejust being able to perform, record and write your ownmusic on your own terms is in itself a level of successthat I am happy to be able to achieve,” he says. “Ithink our style of music is falling into place right now.”
