Interviews

With roots in Venezuela, France and New Zealand, Calva Louise combine their influences to make waves in the UK music scene, with their own brand of alt-rock that has been setting festivals and venues all over the world alight. We caught up with vocalist Jess Eastwood, drummer Ben Parker, and bassist Alizon Taho at 2000trees to see how the band’s last 12 months have been, and the drastic new direction their music is taking in the very near future.

An undisputed god of the festival scene, campfire folk singer Beans on Toast has done just about every festival the UK has produced and is now making his own festival, in the form of the Foolhardy Folk Festival in Nottingham. We spoke to him about creating his own event, Glastonbury, and his opinions on 2000trees.

Joe Appleford may very well be one of the hottest properties in the UK music industry in the next few months. His own blend of rock music in the style of a heavier Queens of the Stone Age could set the UK music scene alight. As his forthcoming debut album 'Distopian Dreams, Utopian Nightmares' approaches, we spoke to the man himself at 2000Trees to discuss the new record, his ambitions in the music industry and more.

Gen and the Degenerates are set to be one of the breakout bands of the near future. Their brand of anthemic alt-rock has got their hardcore fans hooked, with the mainstream surely soon to follow.

We sat down with Nick, Iain and Callum to discuss fanbases, future covers, favourite memories and so much more.

It's always a time for celebration when Silverstein release a new album, and it's no different with their latest effort, 'Misery Made Me'. We caught up with frontman Shane Told and got him to answer a few of our questions about the band's recent release, which continues their streak of phenomenal records. 

Despite what the band name might suggest, the scrappy Canadian underdogs known as Cancer Bats actually have more in common with a snake. Now, before this seems like a cheap shot on a much beloved hardcore veterans allow us to explain… Cancer Bats have shed their previous skin on every release, since their imperious debut 'Birthing the Giant' more than sixteen years ago. With their seventh album 'Psychic Jailbreak' written and recorded, we caught up with frontman Liam Cormier to discuss their bright future on the back of a couple of turbulent years.

As the countdown to Fatherson’s fourth album 'Normal Fears' sets in closer, we sat down with Scotland’s beloved alternative trio to discuss the works of the album, touring plans, and more exciting insight!
