T8H: The 8th Horcrux is strictly wizard parody rock, but we also record under the name “Paul and Trina”. Trina: “Harry Potter, its elaborate alternate-universe, and the assortment of bands we’ve butchered, I mean, parodied, are our major influences.”ĭFTBA: Do you only play Wizard Rock or do you do other forms of parody music as well? Although songs like that aren’t as funny, I’ve used that formula on several of our songs, like ‘All the Slytherins (Better Run)’, and “Priori Incantatem”. Paul: “In the summer of ‘09, I downloaded the ‘Scarred for Life’ EP and I really felt that the album was, musically, awesome and, lyrically, really dark. Other musical influences include “Weird Al” Yankovic, who got us into the parody business to begin with, and They Might Be Giants. Paul was really inspired by their “Scarred for Life” EP, which is what got him into wizard rock in the first place. T8H: Wizard rockers that have influence are style include, most notably, Harry and the Potters. T8H: The 8th Horcrux has been together for almost three years, and our bandiversary is the same day as Harry’s birthday (July 31).ĭFTBA: Who are some of your major musical influences?

Read through the interview for a special offer directly from the band While doing our Reblog Saturday tour we came across a band called The 8 th Horcrux and we decided to interview them. When you combine the two you have something amazing that is called Wizard Rock. And then there is Harry Potter that has gotten more people to read that were not previously readers than almost any other book before it. Even if the words are not understood the music can break down language barriers and the emotion will join them together. There is little that can connect people groups better than a song. Music is said to be the universal language.
