BK: Why is your band named Sensitive Area?
Nu: We like how it sounds and didn’t really think of what the words translated to. What we are trying to illustrate is that there is a feeling in a certain part of ourselves—and that’s the most important thing. When we’re working with music, it is that sincerity that we want to convey, whether it is hurt or happiness. It’s that force that makes us play.
Nay: Each of us transfers that feeling through different means. Nu will let it out through his voice, Op and I through our fingers because we are the guitar people. Non, being the drummer, has this power source and expresses it through his muscles and veins. When we put that together, we form a band.

BK: So you weren’t thinking about a certain body part at all when this came up?
Nay: Oh no, not at all! We didn’t even know at first that it would translate to that!

BK: How would you describe your music?
Nay: We try to make it modern rock. We already have a foundation of being a rock band but individually, we like different types of rock. Nu likes new age American rock, but I’m the total opposite of him, and I like hard rock from the seventies. Non and Op tip towards the metal side, whereas Non likes heavy drum beats, and Op likes intense sounds.

BK: Do you have any problems since you all have different music tastes?
Nay: Lots!
Nu: When we first formed the band, we had a lot of disagreement about our directions and music. We did fight and needed time to tune into each other.

BK: There are so many bands out there today. How does your music stand out?
Nay: We try to be our own version of rock where the melody is powerful but the lyrics can be accessible for anyone. Even if you are a person who doesn’t listen to rock, we want our music to be something you can access.

BK: What are your future plans and dreams for the band?
Nu: We’re all giving it our all now. I think if we put in our best today, whatever the end turns out to be won’t matter as much because we’ve already done our best. We’re happy with what we’re doing now. Parisa Pichitmarn
