I-Zax are back Student Weekly, 7 March
2004 Did you Know : Zax collects Buddha amulets and he always has Phra Luang Nung Sukothai and Luang Poo Tuad with him. The last few years have been busy ones for the teen rockers I-Zax. As each year has passed, the band has continued to grow from being just another small group struggling to make a name for themselves to the teen hit machine that we know today. Their debut album, Khon Rak Kan (We Are in Love), in 2002 introduced I-Zax to music fans across Thailand. In 2003, the band increased their presence by taking part in the now-famous Little Rock Project, a compilation of young rock bands. And now, I-Zaxs sophomore album, Jai Thueng Jai (Heart to Heart), proves that the band has finally made it. The single Kean Jai Hai Phen Pleng (Write the Song from My Heart) is a huge hit and is getting serious airplay on radio stations and music channels. Student Weekly recently caught up with I-Zaxs lead singer Kumphol Panphum (Zax) to talk about his bands hit album and the creativity that made it happen. Student Weekly: Lets start by comparing your debut album with Jai Thueng Jai. What are the big changes? Zax: The fast tracks on Jai Thueng Jai are more powerful than the first album, while the slow tracks are more sentimental. Student Weekly: Speaking of sentimental, why did you guys pick the song Kean Jai Hai Phen Pleng as the first single? Zax: Our debut album, Khon Rak Kan, had a lot of slow parts. So does Kean Jai Hai Phen Pleng. It is a great way to ease our fans into the new album and let them know were back. Student Weekly: Well, the song is a hit. Is that surprising for you, or did you expect it to be the big hit it is? Zax: It was really a big surprise. We expected that listeners would like it, but we definitely didnt expect it to be a hit like this. Student Weekly: Lets move on to the song Pom Dum Tae Jon (Think Dark and Poor). Is this song about anyone in particular? Zax: No. We wrote this song while we were practising and touring with the first album. The song is basically a sarcastic take on girls dream guys, which is tall, dark and handsome. But the members of I-Zax are thin, dark and poor. Its a teasing song, but done in a fun way. Student Weekly: Speaking of looks, the bands look seems to have changed for the new album. Whats going on with that? Zax: The look on this album is more serious than the debut album, where we wanted to look like teen rockers. This time were going for a more grown-up look. Student Weekly: Pirated CDs are a big problem for any band these days. What do you think about piracy? Zax: I want to tell listeners that every song from every artist comes from our brains and determination. Before an album can be released to the fans, we work really hard to make it sound perfect. So please support legal CDs instead of the pirated versions. If you have any comments about I-Zax or their songs, then please post them below:
