Bring Me The Horizon helped shape Tonight Alive into who they are, says Jenna McDougall

In a new interview with TV3, Tonight Alive frontwoman Jenna McDougall reveals that Bring Me The Horizon had a hand in TA’s evolution as a band. “We are totally inspired by Bring Me The Horizon,” she says. “I got goosebumps when I heard they won the NME Innovation Award. It inspired us to want to create our own genre too.”

She adds, “Bring Me The Horizon is pop. The sentence sounds wrong coming out of our mouths because we are trained to believe that pop is a top 40 record. They are a metal band but now they are a metal band who sings. Pop just means popular music.”

Tonight Alive are set to release their new album, Limitless, March 4 via Sony Records.
