We Are The In Crowd *interview w/Tay*
We Are The In Crowd
Tay Jardine – vocals
Jordan Eckes – guitar/vocals
Mike Ferri – bass
Rob Chianelli – drums
Hopeless Records’ newbie, We Are The In Crowd,  is an upbeat foursome that hails to us from Poughkeepsie, New York.  They aren’t your typical sugar-coated pop band, but instead they have genuine lyrics that tell a story.  Forming in 2009, they quickly caught the attention of Hopeless Records and joined their team by November 2009.  Their combination of both female and male vocals gives them a unique sound that has caught the attention of many fans, even just in their short duration as a band.
We Are The In Crowd’s first single, “For The Win,” debuted on Hopeless Records with an excellent response, gaining the band an even more devoted fan base.
I had the chance to interview Tay Jardine, [female] vocalist for the band, and we discussed everything from The Hills, the new album to…. snuggies! Check it out!

Were you all big Hopeless Records fans before you got signed?
Yes!
How’s the work on the new album coming along? Are you almost finished?
Our EP is in its writing stage and its been really exciting seeing it morph together! we start recording in February 🙂
Tay- do you ever get sick of being the only chick on tour, or do you
feel like “just one of the guys?â€
Just a cool dude with longer hair i guess haha. I never feel left out
or any different
I saw that MTV’s The Hills featured a WATIC song on an episode- are any of you fans of The Hills or any of the spin-offs?
None of us watch the show(s), but we were stoked to have our song on
there for sure!
What do you all like to do when you’re not touring/recording?
We’re constantly together hanging out…mostly eating.
If you were crashed on a disserted island and only three albums
survived on your iPod, what would you hope they’d be?
Jimmy Eat World-Bleed America, Starting Line- direction, and Circa Survive- on letting go
What were some jobs you all had before you found success with WATIC?
Rob- sold phones for Verizon Wireless, Tay- Camp Counselor, Cameron-
local grocery store, Mike-Zumiez, Jordan-best buy
Snuggies: Genius or ridiculously stupid?
Genius! a fan brought mike and i TMNT snuggies for christmas… im in
love with it!
Seems the band is often compared to Paramore. Do you think it’s
because you both have female vocalists in all male bands- or do you think you have similar sounds?
I think there is some similarities, but i think people have more fun
comparing female singers than anything. haha its all good though.
Who designs your shirts? I love the owl logo!
Hopeless had someone design the owl..but our other designs have come
from all over, i honestly cant remember :/ sorry designers!!!
What can we expect from We Are the in Crowd in the future? Any new videos coming out soon from the new album?
so much is to come! a few tours this winter/spring.. Warped Tour!..EP.
im stoked!
