Interviews

At Manchester Punk Festival 2023, we had the amazing opportunity to sit down with the seven-piece ska-punk band from Bristol; Fidget and The Twitchers. Although one man down, six of them was plenty enough to get all the gossip. Asking questions they most certainly have never been asked before, meant answers we have never seen or heard. Read on to find out how it went!

Nearly 20 years after their debut 'Room on the 3rd Floor' and three years since their last album, 2020's 'Young Dumb Thrills', McFly are back and feeling rejuvenated as they gear up to release the newly announced Power To Play. We caught up with Harry Judd, Dougie Poynter and Danny Jones to discuss their new material, cassette tapes and the first single off the album, 'Where Did All The Guitars Go?'.

With the resurgence of 'King For A Day' on Tiktok, there is no way to forget Pierce The Veil. These post-hardcore rockers are back. With chart-topping albums such as 'Collide With The Sky' and 'Misadventures', nothing is stopping this band from dominating the charts with their highly anticipated fifth studio album, 'The Jaws of Life'. It has been seven years since their last album but, with a sold-out string of shows in December 2022, the British appetite for Pierce The Veil grows. With the impending release of 'The Jaws of Life', we spoke to bassist Jaime Preciado via Zoom. 

Ahead of their O2 Academy Brixton show, we spoke to bassist Joe Principe.

Currently out on a UK tour, we chatted to Joe Mulherin aka nothing,nowhere. about music, veganism and collaborations.

Circa Waves are a staple of the UK indie-rock scene, coming up to eight years since their iconic debut 'Young Chasers'. The band have gone from strength to strength ever since this LP, with sets in front of tens of thousands of people on main stages now the norm for the band. We caught up with vocalist Kieran Shudall and bassist Sam Rourke at Leeds Festival to discuss their summer of festivals, their new EP 'Hell on Earth' and more.

THUMPER are one of a whole host of talented bands that hail from Dublin. Following in the modern footsteps of Fontaines D.C. and The Murder Capital, and inspired by Dublin's creative hub, THUMPER are trying to bring an exciting brand of chaotic yet thoughtful music to the ears of many. Following the release of their debut 'Delusions of Grandeur', we spoke to lead singer Oisín Furlong and guitarist Alan Dooley about the band’s gradual rise.

We sat down with Alex and Benny G just prior to their set at Boardmasters.

Fin Power of STONE talked to us about their busy festival season and what else is to come from the Liverpool quartet this year.

Boston Manor are one of the best British prospects from the current era of rock music. Their brand of melodic, heavy, and sonically sound music has caught fans' attention from across the globe. We spoke to lead singer Henry Cox at 2000trees to discuss their upcoming album 'Datura', their love of the festival, and what the rest of the year will bring.
