What are your songs about? Avoiding sounding cliche, in life every body experiences letdowns and set backs sometimes, what keeps people moving forward is how a person chooses to deal with the issues. He or she can either accept the loss or move around the obstacle and take their fate into their hands. Every person is responsible for his or her own route and we are attempting to promote the idea that when you fall down, be ready to fight your way back up to success.
Having dealt with a great number of these experiences as a musical group already, we've felt the focus hits us all on a very personal level and it is for that reason more enjoyable to write about. It definitely serves as a release for all of us.
Where did you come up with the name for your band? In all honesty it was more of a trial and error process. We had each band member come up with a list of names that sounded cool and limited it down. Everyone was satisfied with Ataxia for the way it sounded. Short, and easy to remember. The meaning of the word itself has less importance to us.
If you could open for one band, who would it be? Tough question, but we'd have to go with a day to remember and august burns red because draw influence from both equally and they put on great shows.
What has been the biggest challenge as a band? The challenges we face grow and change every day and are defined in one word: balance. We all have many priorities ranging from school, jobs, athletics, so finding time for the band can sometimes be difficult. We are trying to progress as much as possible and that can only be done if everyone in the group in on the same level with our priorities. We like to call it "good stress." It keeps us moving and also in check.
