We caught up with newcomers, sister act Carly-Jo, who hail from Burlington, ON, to talk about their new single ‘Miss You Like This’, and more.
Q
You’re new to the Canadian music scene. What do you want the fans to know about you first and foremost?
A
Carly: We’re CRAZY! No that’s kind of a joke. Honestly, we want our fans to know that we are just two regular awesome chicks with a CRAZY dream. We want our fans to know we carry video cameras around because we want them to be a part of our journey. They can see a lot of this behind the scenes footage of us in the recording studio, writing in Nashville, and everything else it takes to get an album pulled together, on our website. Another thing we want our fans to know is that we have a really amazing mom. She won’t let us give up. You need someone like that in your life to not let you give up on your dreams.
Q
What is the story/inspiration behind your debut single ‘Miss You Like This’?
A
Jo: ‘Miss You Like This’ is about ending a relationship with someone you loved who was a part of your life for so long that you can’t let go. When a relationship ends and you are trying everything to convince yourself that it’s time to let that person go, but you just can’t get them out of your mind, it’s torture!
Q
What’s it like being in a band with your sibling?
A
Carly: Family is a really big part of our lives. We are thankful that we can spend so much time with each other everyday. Of course, there aren’t as many boundaries as you would have with a non-relative and your sister has no hesitation being brutally honest with you, but that’s what keeps us grounded.
Q
Is there an album in the works?
A
Jo: There has been an album in the works for a long time. Everything we have been doing over the last couple of years has been working towards completing an album that we are proud of. We’ve ended up with an album made up of all original songs that wrote and we love and are really excited for others to hear. Now we just want to get it out there and pray to god that people like it.
TC’s Fun 5
1. The song you can’t stop listening to?
Carly: ‘Better Dig Two’ – The Band Perry
Jo: ‘Merry Go Round’ – Kacey Musgraves. Her sweet sound mixed with that banjo and her killer lyrics. Pure gold.
2. Specialty dish you cook/bake?
Carly: Homemade tomato sauce
Jo: Sugar cookies. It’s a family tradition to have a bake off every Christmas. My cookie of choice is sugar. I always win.
3. Favourite movie?
Carly: The Family Stone.
Jo: Runaway Bride… or any movie with Julia Roberts in it for that matter. The one thing about Runaway Bride though is that the soundtrack is undeniably finger taping good
4. Artist you would love to tour with?
Carly: Miranda Lambert… love her.
Jo: Dixie Chicks. We grew up with them and although many more recent artists have helped develop more recently, it will always be the Dixie Chicks that got us hooked and bit us with the bug.
5. Biggest pet peeve?
Carly: Passive agressive-ness
Jo: Clutter
