"We all have different influences," Raposo said, but among those influences he listed "Nirvana, Green Day, Bon Jovi, and The Beatles."
However, when it came to who the group would like to open for, Raposo's answer was none other than the All-American Rejects. According to Raposo, the bands share similar fan bases. Of course, if Raposo could perform with anyone though-it would be Elvis.
But for now, the band will continue to promote itself as Raposo works toward being the headlining act. The band's latest tour begins in Northborough, Mass., on May 1.
Despite a slew of concerts coming up Raposo said that he is most looking forward to the band's trip to California to record the new album.
He added, "The tours following the album will be great as well, but right now I am the most excited about recording."
When asked if he had a favorite song to play, he responded by comparing a favorite song to having a favorite child. "They are all special to me in different ways."
Raposo looks forward to the day all the songs are special to a big label. "Hopefully in a few years from now we will be with a major label and doing major tours around the world," he said.
Raposo admitted that if he could be any superhero it would be Spiderman "because secretly I am." And in a sense he is, as he spins webs of music that continue to catch people over and over again. And he will keep spinning webs, as he doesn't plan to settle down and stop performing anytime in the future. "It is my way of life," he said.
