“On any given episode I may have to conjure up anywhere from one to five songs in a menagerie of styles. I can work on anything from a prog rock tune to a jazz number to a ’90s inspired dub rock song to an Irish punk rock tune in the style of the Pogues and Dropkick Murphy’s.” -Brendan McCreary
Songwriters blog Build The Song recently interviewed Brendan McCreary, songwriter and song producer for Defiance, the wildly popular TV series–in its third season–which airs Friday nights at 8/7c on Syfy (check local listings). Brendan addresses writer’s block (if there’s such a thing) and his diverse musical influences. This is a fun read for all Defiance fans who want to get inside the mind of the man who writes all those cool songs. The Songs of Defiance Season 2 (Original Television Soundtrack) is out now via Lakeshore Records. See below for more album details. Read the full interview with Brendan McCreary at Build The Song!
