Empire Extreme got to sit down with the girls of GFM and talk about their tour with Fozzy and more. 

EE: How’s the tour going so far? 

GFM: it’s good, it’s been super learning wise. The Fozzy guys have been helping up with questions. It’s been crazy the amount of people showing up. Chris had us on his podcast. 

EE: I seen that you have described your music as “beautycore” how did that come to be? 

GFM: It started off as a joke first. When we first came out everyone would say you’re not metal, you’re not MetalCore. And we would say we are BeautyCore. We were wearing dresses and pretty makeup. So we franchised it. 

EE: How’s it like being in a band with you all sisters?

GFM: It’s a lot of fun. We don’t know how we would do it if we weren’t related. We have this hidden language and know what each other are thinking. It’s special to share those memories with the family. We don’t know how people travel so long without seeing family, it makes it much easier for us. 

EE: So with the band being named Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh which is obviously from the bible, how did that name come to be and relating it to your upfront Christianity in the band. 

GFM:  Our mom named the band. It’s just a cool homage to our belief. It’s a conversation about what we believe in and even if you don’t believe you can still listen to our music, we don’t want to push or force anybody into it. We just love to share our knowledge and our truth and talk to the fans and pray with them if they need it. We want to make a safe place for our fans. We are there to help answer questions, that’s why we run our social media team. 

EE: I seen that you got added to BlueRidge Festival and have played it before but now it’s so much bigger are you excited about that? 

GFM: Yes so excited. Hopefully we can redeem ourselves. Last time we played it was 2018 and I broke my ankle the 3rd song in. I just thought I rolled it and still went on. They had to carry me offstage and went to the hospital and it was too swollen to do anything so I went back to the festival. I’m gonna hear a lot of don’t break a leg..lol. 

EE: You have a new EP coming out in May? 

GFM: yes we are super excited. It’s going to come out right after the tour. May 27th. It sounds so good it’s our adult version of what we sound like. 

EE: if you could go on a tour with 2 bands who would you want to tour with? 

GFM: I think because we everyone compares us to Kittie so love to go with them and love to tour with Slipknot. That would be a really in your face kind of tour.
