Can you tell us about the origin of the band name, a history of the band and a little bit about the various members?

The band name is derived from a childhood nickname. Started as WI-TY and evolved into TyFy and that one just stuck. Tyler started recording his solo project with guitarist and vocalist of Stereotype I, Jesse Kalhoun. Jesse passed away shortly after we had recorded 3 songs together. After 3 years of major life happenings, Tyler was ready to get TyFy back on track, and went on the search for his next producer and found Randy L. George from Penn Metal Audio Productions during a Google search.

Are you all from the same area? How did you get together as a band?

Tyler and Randy are both from southwestern Pennsylvania. While currently not a “band”, Randy is the only other member of this project.

Who are your favourite artists/bands and how have they influenced your
own sound?

Tyler: Attila, Five Finger Death Punch, Chelsea Grin, Wage War, Slipknot, Beartooth, Dropout Kings, Bring Me The Horizon, Anxxiety. Attila’s good party vibes with their slammin ass riffs are my biggest inspiration of all time. Five Finger matches the Brometal vibe of TyFy. Dropout Kings trap rap numetal style definitely is an energetic influence.

Randy: Pantera’s massive wall of guitar riffage is the biggest influence on me as a
musician and producer. Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, Fear Factory, Early Mushroomhead, lamb of god, NIN, are all major influences as a producer/musician.

Did you always have the ambition to be a musician and in a band or did you originally have other plans?

Tyler: I’ve always had the drive and motivation to be a musician since I was a kid.

Randy: I felt like I was Born on Fire with the passion for music.

What songs or albums are on your current playlist?

Tyler: Attila-About That Life and Dropout Kings-GlitchGang

Randy: Bury Your Dead-Its Nothing Personal, Bloodsimple-A Cruel World

Do you sing in the shower?

Tyler: I practice my gutterals in that bitch (laughs)

Randy: Absolutely not, I sound like ass (laughs)

Do you have any plans for the band for this year and into next year?

Current plan consists of continuing recording songs for an EP to be released sometime in 2024. Second single is in production.

Do you currently have any new songs/albums ready to be released?

Tyler: The first single “Can’t Break Me” is being released July 22nd with lyric video the same day

If you could play at any venue in the world where would you choose?

If you were putting together the greatest show on earth, who would be playing?
