During a recent phone interview, La Torre explained his personal philosophy as a frontman.
“I don’t try to steal the show from anyone else in the band,” La Torre said. “I’m one fifth of the band, and I just try to give an honest performance. There’s nothing contrived or theatrical in what I do. I’m just singing from the heart, and honestly, I think that’s what I would want to expect and see from a band or performer that I like—just honesty in their delivery and performance. That’s better than any kind of technical proficiency or anything scripted or contrived.”
