Longtime metalcore band The Ongoing Concept is back in all its glory!
With experience comes maturity. While the lineup is the same as the group’s salad days, the Ongoing Concept’s approach to touring has changed over the years. “When you’re on the road, there are no rules. It’s the Wild West. You’re just scrambling and trying to scrape by to make any money. You’re always living on a prayer that your van doesn’t break down or get stolen,” Scholz explains, adding that the band has been lucky to avoid such vehicular hiccups and brushes with the law so far.
“Sometimes the older I get and more responsibilities that I have, I’m like, ‘How did we successfully do this when we were twenty and Parker was fifteen?’ We were just doing it," he continues."Now you go to any city and you’re like, ‘This is sketchy.’” The length of runs are shorter nowadays, too, making them more of a sprint than a marathon. “We don’t even get the chance to get into tour shape, because by the time the tour is over, we’re just starting to get just a bit in shape,” Scholz says. “I’d say it takes fourteen or fifteen days until you’re really at your prime, and we never do a tour longer than that.”
But having a DIY attitude helps, even if “it’s just different” compared to the band’s innocent 2009 beginnings, he adds. “We’re cut with a little bit of a different grain…just living in that DIY sense,” Scholz says. “But we don’t stay in Walmart parking lots anymore. We get hotels now...I don’t know how we made it. It’s crazy.”
