September 28th, 2008Who does your favorite artist want for their President?
Special MSbands.com ONLY featured blog!!
Within this next blog we asked Coheed and Cambria, Rachael Yamagata and last but certainly not least Chris Walla of Death Cab for Cutie!!
Each participant was asked each of the following questions via e-mail/phone.
Coheed and Cambria

This was in an e-mail format and equally discussed amongst the band’s members.
MSbands:Obama or McCain?:
C&C:it’s an obvious question when you look at the policies each candidate goes by. its either you want bush for another 4 years or you want someone that can at least attempt to make a change and someone that you know is going to at least try.
MSbands:Would you rather have Hillary?
C&C: with [her] as our president it would still be better than bush or another bush for 4 years. plus with a guy who already knows how things are run, we are looking pretty good.
MSbands: What will change your vote?
C&C: theres no way in hell we are voting for another bush, lets put it that way.
Rachael Yamagata

This was on a phone interview which lasted not more than a minute, which was not easy to come across. But I got the answers in which satisfy what I need for this to be meaningful!
MSbands: Obama or McCain?
Rachael Yamagata: Quite honestly I don’t agree with any of their (McCain/Obama) viewpoints. The ones which I actually agree with, don’t satisfy what I want. The abortion, firearms, war and taxes just don’t flow well for each one individually. Or quite simply I just don’t know (a short pause with a stutter) y-yet.
MSbands: Would you rather have Hillary?
Rachael Yamagata: Yeah.
MSbands: What will change your vote?
Rachael Yamagata: Ummm, just seeing what happens I guess, there is still time left so one of them will have to pull something together that works for everyone. I gotta go , sorry, but thanks!
Chris Walla of Death Cab for Cutie

MSbands: Obama or McCain?
Chris Walla: mccain for now but the current situations are fluctuating my vote
MSbands: How do you feel about his running mate?
Chris Walla: that’s exactly why my vote is fluctuating. i can see why he made the decision, but although it was a clever attempt to gain votes it backfired.
MSbands: What will change your vote?
Chris Walla: time. the next three - four weeks really will get a solid decision in gear for me
There will be more artists coming soon! Stay tuned if you want to hear what Relient K, Cute is What We Aim for & This Providence have to say!
