Just to begin let's speak about the band : When was it formed? How did you get in touch with the other members? Shall we have to consider it as a real band or rather a solo project of yours?
Hi there!..Well the Sanchez Band is more my solo project...It is an Idea I had for years!!
I have the lucky to know a lot of excellent musicans here in Sweden so it was no problems to put together a band.

Since the first song of the CD "I'm in Love" there's a clear "American" influence on your sound... Which are the bands who influenced you more?
I think my influence absolutley comes from bands like ...Mötley Crue, Europe, Firehouse, Dokken, Stryper... and on and on!!

You play a music genre which a lot of people would consider as "old" ... What is your opinion about it ?
I can Igree on that but music like the 80`s hardrock and glam era... Will never get old... And I think it is only good to bring people and kids of today a bit of the past music with all the good and clatchy melodies.

I've really appreciated the ballad " Treat me Like a Fool"... Can you please tell us anythng about its text and why did you decide to make also a Spanish version of it?
The ballad Don´t treat me like a fool is a song based on a true love story back in the 80`s. And the Spanish version was an idea from the guys at artist Service,And I think it is a good way to attract the spanish audience.

How did you get in touch with the guys of Artist Service and what do you think of your working with them?
I recorded a demo and started to send it to different record companys and that was the way how i get in touched with Artist Service. And I can say nothing but good about them they are really good people and they have done a really good job! a big cheers to them!

Have you planned a tour to promote the album ? Will it be possible to see you also in our region?
Well to tell you... the album has just been out since the 14 of september 2007, so we are still waiting for the reaction from fans and media... so we`ll see what happends in the next coming month.

What do you think of the present Hard Rock scene ? Are there any new bands which have attracted your attention?
I think the Hard Rock scene is at it`s best right now and with all the old bands getting together again it is great. About the new bands. Well as I am a hardrocker from the 80`s and love good old clatchy melodies hardrock, I have to say: The Poodles and Crashdiet... Are one of thouse new band that have catch up my attention.
