The guys are talented, self-taught musicians, with a fabulous sense of humor. Three of the four band members joined me at the Amused Now Featured Artist interview: Brayden Gomer, who sings and plays guitar; Austin McEwen, who plays bass; and Ryan Calatayud, who plays drums. Guitar player Britt Spurka was unable to make the Hangout.<\/p>\n<p>Sugar On the Dashboard recently released the EP <em>Discovery is Dead<\/em>. My favorite of the four songs is <em>Somebody Else<\/em>. I asked if Green Day influenced the band\u2019s sound, because I really hear the influence in the song <em>Innocence In a Sense<\/em>. Brayden admitted, \u201cGreen Day is one of the bands that we definitely enjoy listening to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>All the band members have diverse music tastes. Brayden likes 90s bands: Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, Foo Fighters, Alice in Chains and Queens of the Stone Age. Ryan listens to \u201ca little bit of everything. Some of my drum beats come from rap songs that I try to make something different with a rock song.\u201d Then, Brayden jokes, \u201cAustin likes Creed and Nickelback.\u201d Actually, Austin and Ryan have similar music tastes, \u201cWe listen to all types of music.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ryan started playing drums at age 12. \u201cI formed a band with my best friend, and we got ourselves our first really big show.\u201d At that show, Ryan met Brayden. \u201cHis band killed at that show.\u201d Later, Ryan asked Brayden to join another band, and they have been playing together ever since.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2324\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2324\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2324\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Brayden-Gomer-200x200.jpg\" alt=\"Brayden Gomer\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Brayden-Gomer-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Brayden-Gomer-200x200-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Brayden-Gomer-200x200-90x90.jpg 90w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Brayden-Gomer-200x200-38x38.jpg 38w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Brayden-Gomer-200x200-186x186.jpg 186w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Brayden-Gomer-200x200-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2324\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brayden Gomer<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Brayden started writing poetry before becoming a songwriter. He got a guitar when he was 10 years old. \u201cI didn\u2019t play it for the longest time, because I was so terrified of learning how to play. Finally, I started trying to learn chords and trying to write songs. Now, I\u2019ve written a good number of songs, and (smiling) I\u2019m in a band.\u201d Brayden writes all Sugar On the Dashboard\u2019s songs.<\/p>\n<p>Austin has never been in a band before, and he never played bass until he met Brayden. Ryan and Austin have been good friends for a while. \u201cI\u2019ve been a football player for a majority of my life. I was a jock up until 7-8 months ago.\u201d When Ryan and Brayden formed Sugar On the Dashboard, they were looking for someone to play bass. Ryan suggested Austin, but Brayden put the idea on hold. Eventually, Brayden gave Austin a chance, and the rest is history.<\/p>\n<p>Sugar On the Dashboard uses social media to connect with fans. As Brayden describes it, \u201cSocial media is a really cool tool. It\u2019s something that you\u2019ve really gotta get a groove going. You go on Twitter \u2018follow sprees\u2019 and then 50 people message you back with questions. You talk to random people that you never met before; you talk to people all over the world. When they listen to your music and tell you that they like it, that\u2019s the coolest thing ever!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ryan advises other artists, \u201cDon\u2019t get bogged down on what anyone else is telling you. You\u2019re not an outsider if you\u2019re not going with the wave. Just do what you want to do. If one person likes it or one million people like it, do what makes you happy. Don\u2019t let someone tell you that you can\u2019t do something, because that\u2019s not popular.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2323\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2323\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2323\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Austin-McEwen-200x200.jpg\" alt=\"Austin McEwen\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Austin-McEwen-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Austin-McEwen-200x200-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Austin-McEwen-200x200-90x90.jpg 90w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Austin-McEwen-200x200-38x38.jpg 38w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Austin-McEwen-200x200-186x186.jpg 186w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Austin-McEwen-200x200-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2323\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Austin McEwen<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Brayden adds, \u201cBe persistent, very persistent.\u201d Austin jokes, \u201cThat\u2019s very true. You\u2019d be amazed by how many people told Brayden that he\u2019s horrible, but he still does it! Really, Brayden has been very, very persistent and it shows. He\u2019s been very successful with prior bands and with this one.\u201d Austin encourages all aspiring musicians, \u201cIf you want to play an instrument and write songs, you can do that. A lot of kids are getting discouraged, but Brayden\u2019s been the guy that says, \u2018Get out there and write your own songs.\u2019 He\u2019s very good at what he does.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On June 26, Sugar On the Dashboard opened for a band called The Nearly Deads at His Rock Music in Cumming, Georgia. In July, the band plays at Full Sail University on July 15, The Blast House on July 29 and Centennial Olympic Park on July 31. They play the Summer Shade Festival in August.<\/p>\n<p>Go guys!<\/p>\n<p>For a fun time, watch the complete video interview on the Amused Now YouTube channel: <a href=\"http:\/\/youtu.be\/0XTHnekIfG0\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/youtu.be\/0XTHnekIfG0<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Amused Now Featured Artist Series<\/p>\n<p>Sugar On the Dashboard<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/SugarOnTheDash\" target=\"_blank\">@SugarOnTheDash<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gomermusic\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/plus.google.com\/112903959294050465538\/videos\" target=\"_blank\">Google+<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.reverbnation.com\/sugaronthedashboard\" target=\"_blank\">ReverbNation<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Cynthia Kahn, Founder of Amused Now \u00a0 \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/amusednow\"><br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/Amused_Now\" target=\"_blank\">@Amused_Now<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/AmusedNow\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/plus.google.com\/106372266016264510992\/about\" target=\"_blank\">Google+<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/amusednow\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2326\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2326\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2326\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Ryan-Calatayud-200x200.jpg\" alt=\"Ryan Calatayud\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Ryan-Calatayud-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Ryan-Calatayud-200x200-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Ryan-Calatayud-200x200-90x90.jpg 90w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Ryan-Calatayud-200x200-38x38.jpg 38w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Ryan-Calatayud-200x200-186x186.jpg 186w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Ryan-Calatayud-200x200-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2326\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Ryan Calatayud<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2325\" style=\"width: 210px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2325\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2325\" src=\"http:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Britt-Spurka-200x200.jpg\" alt=\"Britt Spurka\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Britt-Spurka-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Britt-Spurka-200x200-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Britt-Spurka-200x200-90x90.jpg 90w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Britt-Spurka-200x200-38x38.jpg 38w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Britt-Spurka-200x200-186x186.jpg 186w, https:\/\/amusednow.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/Sugar-On-the-Dashboard-Britt-Spurka-200x200-184x184.jpg 184w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-2325\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Britt Spurka<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Interviewing Sugar on the Dashboard is a funfest.
