Top Bunk is a band from Los Angeles, California, formed by 10 people. The band has 3 singles released so far; Figure it Out, Toothbrush, and Karma. As in their Spotify description; "[They] do it all for the love of music, art, and most of all - [their] supreme muse and icon, MOM". Don't be surprised if they turn out to be your new favorite band!
I also got the chance to interview them, here's the interview!
You're many people in a band, which is so cool! Introduce yourselves and what your roles are in the band.
ALL: There's 10 of us! We all write and produce the music ourselves. The live band consists of Petro AP, Yianni AP, Arieh Berl, Symeon Tzvetkov, Alexander 23, and Ben Rose. Joey Orton is predominantly a songwriter, Jeremiah D.W. makes our videos and illustrations, Bradly Palmer is our manager, and Shabnam Ferdowsi is our photographer / party planner.
Awesome! What inspired your band name?
Petro AP: If you're cool you sleep on the top bunk.
How did you all meet?
Yianni AP: We all go to the same Olive Garden... when you're there, you're family.
Describe your music in 3 words.
Shabnam: Always Good Times, Harsh Life Lessons, Real Good Sounds, Get Down Tonight, 1514 Silverlake Blvd.
You recently released 3 singles and an EP for Karma, what can we expect to see next? Another EP?
Arieh: Expect nothing and you shall receive everything. Expectations always lead to hurt feelings.
How do you come up with your catchy tunes?
Symeon: First we smash our foreheads on the white keys to make a great riff. Then we smash together to make the drums. Finally when we're sure we've made a smash we get smashed and smash each other. (middle finger emoji)
