We managed to catch up with the band as they talk about the upcoming single and more!
How pumped are you for the release of ‘Face It’?
We’re super pumped for this release, we’ve been sat on this track for over a year due to lack of funds and reasons out of our control, but we believe the wait will be worth it. We’ve got good vibes about this track!
Can you tell us something about the track nobody knows?
In the beginning ‘Face It’ may have not been a single at all, it was written about two weeks before we entered the studio along side another track called ‘Forked Tongues’. When we arrived at Sound Hub Studios we were set to record three tracks but couldn’t decide between ‘Face It’ or ‘Forked Tongues’ so it was all left to the flip of a coin and ‘Face It’ ended up becoming the third track. It was also the producers (Barrington Mole and Tom Carter) favourite out of the three and was decided to be the single.
Will you be releasing an EP or album this year?
We’re planning to release the two remaining tracks that were recorded along side ‘Face It’. One of those being a track called ‘Empires Fall’ which we are shooting the video for at the end of February but so far doesn’t have a release date.
How have the guys at Sound-Hub Records helped you guys?
Sound Hub Records have been fantastic, in the past we would have recorded a track and released it as soon as it was ready without putting any planning into it. Sound Hub have been guiding us prior to the release making sure everything has been ticked off before it reaches the listeners ears.
What’s the alternative rock scene like in Andover/London?
Obviously London is booming, rock bands playing left, right and centre. The alternative rock scene in Andover is brilliant, there is a real sense of community that dwells around the main venue that is The Rockhouse. Everyone is welcome regardless of genre, and there is always support for new up and coming bands that our still finding their feet.
If you could work with any band on a new song, who would it be and why?
Without a shadow of a doubt we’d love to work with the Lower Than Atlantis boys. They’ve been a massive influence on our writing just lately, I think their knowledge of the industry would be seriously beneficial to us.
Will you be touring at all this year?
We have a couple of shows coming up, we have the ‘Face It’ release show at The Winchester Gate Salisbury on the 2nd of Feb, we also have a gig supporting Divide and All Ears Avow at the 229 in London on the 12th of Feb. We’re planning a three dayer mid March as a warm up for a seven date tour at the beginning of April but these are still to be confirmed. So keep your eyes peeled!
If you could play at any venue in the world, where would it be and why?
Wembley Stadium….once you’ve played there what’s next??
