Influences
editBucket and Spiral were influenced by a number of bands, obviously, because of their wide variety of genres. The Who and Deep Purple influenced the harder rock songs, while the metal attribute was contributed to widely by Iron Maiden and Metallica. Bands like Weezer and Yeah Yeah Yeahs gave the Bucket and Spiral its softer rock sound, and The Ramones influenced the punk sound.
However, guitarist Benjamin Emmuo tries to stray away from the metal aspect Bucket and Spiral approaches. In an interview on November 24, Emmuo says "It's just not who I am. I'll always be punk."
There has been some controversy about bass member Kyle Bolsaque's trans sexuality. The band claims it should make no difference as he is an excellent bassist. But some fans such as 16 year old Republican Jorge Hedge have stated "It's an insult such a great band would allow such a member. I'm outraged." The band continues to play however, ignoring these crude remarks.
