If could introduce yourselves for us, who are you?
I’m Sano Hill, an Irish singer-songwriter (based in Galway city) who writes melodic rock songs that are influenced by life, love and loss – and my musical and literary influences.
How did you all meet?
☺ Well now ….
How long have you been playing?
All my life really but have been releasing singles since January 2022
What three words would you use to describe the music you play?
Passion. Soul. Folk/Rock.
What are your musical influences?
I’ve been influenced by a wide range of musicians and musical styles – Van Morrison (particularly his earlier material, Astral Weeks, Moondance etc.) was a huge influence on me at one point, particularly the personal and folk/blues nature of his lyrics and expression. Other influences have included U2, Bob Dylan, Elvis Costello, David Bowie, Nick Cave, and Radiohead. But I like all kinds of music, from traditional to classical, folk, jazz, blues, and rock, and I guess all these influences have informed what I do, how I sing and the music I make.
What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen during a show?
Not sure. I can’t think of anything.
Being away from the stages in the last few years, where was the first place you visited when the restrictions were lifted?
The local pub Róisín Dubh for a pint! (it’s a fantastic venue for original live music in Galway also)
What’s the one record you own but wouldn’t ever admit to owning?
I used to have a Bay City Rollers LP (on vinyl) – it was a family inheritance but not one I’m particularly proud of.
What have you been listening in the last few weeks?
Mostly artists from the NAS (New Artist Spotlight) community. This is an indie musician’s support community set up by Canadian singer-songwriter Ed Eagle and it features a range of extraordinary artists in just about every genre – it’s a fantastic way to discover new indie music (https://www.newartistspotlight.org/)
Are there any releases you have planned in the near future?
The big ambition of 2023 is to get the album – ‘If Not Now, When?’ – out. It’s nearly there – final mixing and mastering is ongoing and I’m incredibly fortunate to be collaborating with a fantastic and hugely talented Irish producer Larry Hogan who has brought my songs in really unexpected but glorious directions. I’m also grateful to Braddon Williams (who has previously worked with a range of top artists, including Beyonce, Snoop Dogg, Mark Ronson, Il Divo, Wyclef Jean, Billy Joel, Kelly Clarkson, P Diddy, and The Script) and is currently contributing on the final mixing and mastering process. If any of your readers would like to hear more about how the albums coming along, view my music videos and connect online you’ll find all my links here.
Thanks!

1. If could introduce yourselves for us, who are you?
I’m Reed. I write, play guitar and sing.
I’m Ben, keys and songwriting.
I am Nathan Berntson, I play guitar, produce, and engineer for Cthulhu Drea
I am Jake, I play guitar in Cthulhu Dreamt!
I’m Chris, and I’ve contributed a bit of composing and spoken word stuff – but hope to be adding more synths to the next record!
2. How did you all meet?
Reed: A few of us have known each other for quite a while, and Jake and Chris we met through twitter, which is pretty fantastic.
Ben: I met Reed in college, and we’ve been making music together ever since. He introduced me to the rest of the band when he launched Cthulhu Dreamt
Nate: Reed and I grew up in Grand Forks, North Dakota. I have known him for well over 20 years now. Everyone else, I met through being a part of this project.
Jake: I met Reed on Twitter through my uncle Jeremy.
Chris: I met Reed by being a fan of his, which still blows my mind. I’m very lucky. 3. How long have you been playing?
Reed: As a band, we’ve existed since 2020, but for my personal foray into music, I’ve been playing guitar since 1990.
Ben: I’ve been playing music for 28 years now.
Nate: I have been playing guitar for about 25 years now.
Jake: I’ve been playing guitar for about 14 years now.
Chris: I got involved in Liminality, Cthulhu Dreamt’s second album, probably a couple of years ago now. But I’ve been playing music since I was about eight – although I didn’t exactly take it seriously until much later. (Sorry, middle school clarinet teacher.)
4. What three words would you use to describe the music you play?
Reed: Connected, spacey, feeling
Ben: Heavy, emotional, storytelling
Nate: Metalcore, Deathcore, NWOAHM
Jake: Proggy, conceptual, and heavy!
Chris: In Cthulhu Dreamt: progressive, heavy, meaningful.
5. What are your musical influences?
Reed: Mastodon, Hans Zimmer, Lagwagon, Starset, Deftones, John Powell, Igorrr Ben: Royal Blood, Larkin Poe, Rival Sons, Rage against the Machine, Audioslave, Nate: Unearth, Tool, Lamb of God, Whitechaple, Killswitch Engage, Zakk Wylde
Jake: Opeth, At The Gates, and Emperor are probably my biggest 3.
Chris: For Cthulhu Dreamt it’s Meshuggah, Gojira, Mick Gordon, Leprous, a lot of djent. Elsewhere, Reed and I (as Cedarstone) make stuff that’s more like Nils Frahm, Olafur Arnalds, Max Richter – so a bit of a mix!
6. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen during a show?
Reed: Rammstein and all the phallic stuff they did in their old shows. I guess it’s not really weird compared to what’s out there now, but back in the 90s it was eye opening.
Ben: I saw a dude lick the neck of the person standing in front of them at a Xavier Rudd concert once. No, they were not together.
Nate: Gwar once walked a lifesize Michael Jackson doll on stage, “penetrated” it in half with a giant strap on sword, and it sprayed goo all over the crowd.
Jake: I haven’t seen a whole lot of weird things at shows before, but I will say the Screeching Weasel and Dwarves show I went to as a kid was infinitely more violent than any metal show I’ve ever been to. Chris: The last Rammstein gig I saw involved a puppet in a giant baby pram being set on fire and gradually melting, so probably that.
7. Being away from the stages in the last few years, where was the first place you visited when the restrictions were lifted?
Reed: I think the first major thing I did was see Opeth and Mastodon on their tour. Ben: I saw the Broadway Tour of Frozen, lol.
Nate: I went and saw Weezer and Green Day at Target Field.
Jake: I’m definitely a homebody so I didn’t rush out once everything opened back up. I think my first real outing was an Amorphis show.
Chris: I’ve never actually toured! I’m the sole UK-based member of the group, so I’ve not even met the others in person. More widely, though, I don’t even remember. I spent a lot of lockdown seeking out nature nearby where nobody else would go, and that just kinda hasn’t changed.
8. What’s the one record you own but wouldn’t ever admit to owning?
Reed: I don’t really feel shame about tastes. And to be honest, I think for anyone who knows me, there wouldn’t be anything in my collection that was a surprise to them.
Ben: Oops, I Did It Again – Britney Spears
Nate: No shame in my game, but I do get alot of greif when people find out I have albums by En Vogue Jake: I own a record called Picnic of Love by a band who I’ll just abbreviate to A.C. It may be the worst album ever recorded and I love it for that.
Chris: I still have a copy of the Smurfs album.
9. What have you been listening in the last few weeks?
Reed: well, I went to the record store and heard Belmont being played, so I’m diving into that. Otherwise, I’ve been listening to Sleep Token, and the God of War: Ragnarok OST.
Ben: Jurassic Park Theme, by Galactic Empire; HATEFUCK, by Pussy Riot and Slayyyter; The Batman, by Michael Giacchino
Nate: Make Them Suffer – all of their albums have been on constant repeat since about August. They are that good.
Jake: Everything Everything put out Raw Data Feel a year ago and I’m still constantly listening to it. Chris: A lot of ambient stuff – lots of contemporary indie artists, and also going back to some old Brian Eno tracks.
10. Are there any releases you have planned in the near future?
Reed: For sure! We’ve teamed up with a game development company and are launching a Kickstarter for the Cthulhu Dreamt TTRPG, which will include a massive soundtrack full of new music, and we’re so hyped on that! Also, once that concludes, we immediately begin work on the thing I think we’re all getting super excited about: our third album!
Nate: Yeah… lets just say – It has begun. Chris: I think Reed’s got this one!
Check out Cthulhu Dreamt’s latest release, ‘Precursor’ below.
If could introduce yourselves for us, who are you?
I am Eric Gynan and it is my pleasure to chat with you here, from The Boston Massachusetts area USA.
Leaving Eden & Silver Springs Fleetwood Mac Tribute is: (2 different bands)
Eve: Lead vocals
Alyssa Bailey: White Keys/Vocals
Jake Gynan: Drums
Rich Chouinard: Bass/Vocals
Eric Gynan: Guitar/Vocals
Myself, Eve, and Rick the bass player, we played in a band together before Leaving Eden a long time ago and it was really good. After the first hundred people came up to me and told me how great Eve was, I knew that I had to do something for her. Then Jake decided to join and Alyssa, we met at a gig, and she wanted in. The rest is history as they say.
What three words would you use to describe the music you play?
Eclectic, rock, melodic
What are your musical influences?
Anything new, rock ‘n’ roll. Black Sabbath, Richie Blackmore, Disturbed, Shinedown and acoustic stuff like Simon and Garfunkel.
What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen during a show?
Well we’ve seen a lot. Probably the weirdest thing I’ve seen was a guy with his body painted and his privates just hanging out.
Being away from the stages in the last few years, where was the first place you visited when the restrictions were lifted?
Well we were fortunate. When the restrictions came yes, our whole schedule was canceled and we’re always booked up to a year in advance. However after the first month and a half or so we started re-booking and our schedule got full again so we didn’t lose much time. All the gigs ended up being outside which was awesome. We’ve been out there ever since.
What’s the one record you own but wouldn’t ever admit to owning? What have you been listening to in the last few weeks?
Well I don’t own any records. I usually listen to what I want on YouTube. Believe it or not I like to listen to things like Electric Light Orchestra live, the Bee Gees, and the Beatles again all live performances. Oh and Rod Stewart live.
If could introduce yourselves for us, who are you?
Hey everyone, I’m Hywel and I am the Vocalist of the band Virtue In Vain. We are a metalcore band from Cardiff, Wales
How did you all meet?
Il started the band in its earliest forms. Soon after Emyr joined the band as the guitarist.Emyr is my brother so obvious how we know each other. As the band went on we played with other bands that contained both Dan & Mason. Over time changes happened and we all ended up in Virtue In Vain.
How long have you been playing?
Hey everyone, I’m Hywel and I am the Vocalist of the band Virtue In Vain. We are a metalcore band from Cardiff, Wales
What three words would you use to describe the music you play?
Heavy, Passionate and Progressive
What are your musical influences?
Make Them Suffer, The Devil Wears Prada, Architects, Napoleon, For the Fallen Dreams, Crystal Lake & Currents. Plus many other bands we have played with over the many years.
What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen during a show?
That’s a good question, I can’t say I have seen anything too unusual. The closest is someone headbanging right next to the speaker. But I love that so I wouldn’t say it’s too weird.
Being away from the stages in the last few years, where was the first place you visited when the restrictions were lifted?
I went to see my family when I could. That was something I truly missed the most. After that it was the band and our rehearsal space. I cannot tell you the feeling of that first session back.
What’s the one record you own but wouldn’t ever admit to owning?
I am not really sure as I am quite open about what I like. I don’t own as many CD’s as I used to but probably Ocean Eyes by Owl City. I love Fireflies an unhealthy amount.
What have you been listening in the last few weeks?
Last few weeks it has been Bleed Within, the latest releases by The Devil Wears Prada (Album is out now and I love it) and some Until I Wake.
Are there any releases you have planned in the near future?
We are working on some new songs and our next EP. We can’t wait for everyone to hear so stay tuned to our socials or sneak peaks and more info.
If you could introduce Miles and the Chain Gang for us, who are you?We are a band based in York, UK. We play original songs. It’s guitar pop stuff – nothing too heavy. We like old school rock n roll – Bruce Springsteen, Van Morrison, Rolling Stones – that sort of thing.
How did you all meet?
It is a long story but York is also a small town. As long as you’re out there talking to people, playing open mics, you’ll find other musicians. The trick is to find people who are good and local and good natured. The current line up has that – Mat Watt on bass, Steve Purton on drums and Daniel Bowater on keys. A good band, we sound really good. We all live in York.
How long have you ben playing and what are your musical influences? The band started in 2018, so we are four years old this autumn. Influences: your Dad’s record collectcion – everything from Blondie to Pink Floyd, but really we’re about the songs. A bit of soul, a bit of blues, a bit of country, a bit of pop. Good songs – that’s what we are about.
What three words would you use to describe the music you play? Rock and roll.
What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen during a Miles and the Chain Gang show? At one gig, I man took his clothes off and poured lager over his chest. Can you believe that? I can’t!
Being away from the stages in the last few years, where was the first place you visited when the restrictions were lifted? We’re just playing gigs in the Yorkshire area – York, Doncaster, Harrogate, Helmsley… we want to go further afield when we can, but for now it’s best to keep it local.
What’s the one record you own but wouldn’t ever admit to owning? Ah! Well, I could mention it, but unfortunately I won’t admit to owning it.
What have you been listening to in the last few weeks? Sam Cooke – awesome voice. Amy Winehouse – awesome voice. The Springsteen at Hammersmith 1975 album was on in the car the other day – love that. I like listening to vocalists, how they phrase things, how they can charge a song emotionally. The other night ‘Queen at Wembley’ was on TV. Roger Taylor – what a drummer!
Are there any releases you have planned in the near future? ‘Love Is Blind’ came out in May and it has had over 400 plays on radio stations, mostly smaller independent places – so that has been a buzz. We are recording a song in September so hopefully that will come out soon.
1. If could introduce yourselves for us, who are you?
We’re The Rift we’ve been jamming your mom and everyone else we’re here to rock you into oblivion
2. How did you all meet?
I had just destroyed another planet with the lazers that come out of my guitar when I was battling with the fabled Kracken of earth, it was a much more difficult battle then I would have guessed but Ovais came from Mt. Doom and gave me an assist with some brutal beats. Just kidding we met many years ago at a music store actually started playing music ever since then
3. How long have you been playing?
Together we’ve been officially jamming since 2015, but we had messed around in bands both before then.
4. What three words would you use to describe the music you play?
Out of this world
5. What are your musical influences?
Metallica was probably the biggest influence on us as a band then the Foo Fighters, but we grew up loving everything from classic rock, flamenco, reggae, to death metal
6. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen during a show?
We played with a punk band whose gimic was throwing sex toys at the crowd…
Pretty funny actually, but definitely weird haha.
7. Being away from the stages in the last few years, where was the first place you visited when the restrictions were
lifted? Ya it’s been hard for everyone I think we definitely had to put everything on hold like everybody else for a while. Honestly my memory just harkens to us being able to rehearse for the first time after the pandemic, I had Covid when it first hit pretty hard so we weren’t able to jam for several months. As far as venues though I went right to the most legendary spot I know the Rainbow bar and grill it was good to see it and all the people there were still doing good and I walked right to the Whisky after that.
8. What’s the one record you own but wouldn’t ever admit to owning?
I can honestly say I got nothing to hide haha I’m a rocker through and through
9. What have you been listening in the last few weeks?
Been jamming some classic rock stuff and thrash Blackened Metallica, some Turnstile, Montrose, System, Big Wreck
10. Are there any releases you have planned in the near future?
Yes we’re stoked to be recording our 2nd full length album currently so expect it out sometime next year songs are coming along great and I really think it might turn some heads but who knows.
If could introduce yourselves for us, who are you?
We are Novacrow, a deliciously erotic and hilariously charismatic alternative metal band based in Liverpool, UK.
How did you all meet?
Kitty and Jonyx were already dating when Kitty decided to form the band. It’s quite unclear how they met Freddy, one day he just was sort of…there. Playing bass for the band. And they couldn’t get rid of him ever since.
How long have you been playing?
The band was formed around September 2013. So since September 2013. Christ, that’s almost 9 years of this nonsense.
What three words would you use to describe the music you play?
Erotic, Chaotic, Destructive.
What are your musical influences?
We mostly just copy bird whistles, because they can’t sue us for copyright infringement. Other than that, we’re very much influenced by bands such as Type O Negative, Machine Head, Devin Townsend, Nirvana, mostly other bands that seem to love yelling as much as we do.
What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen during a show?
We didn’t actually see this (thankfully), but once we played a show and the venue owner told us afterwards that she loved our set so much that she started touching herself mid-show.
Being away from the stages in the last few years, where was the first place you visited when the restrictions were lifted?
Ice cream parlours. Oh wait, you meant the first place we performed at? Then, also ice cream parlours.
What’s the one record you own but wouldn’t ever admit to owning?
This question is weird because it implies we’re ashamed of the music we like. Fuck that. We’ll listen to anything that’s good, from Metal to Pop to Funk to Classical to anything in between.
That said, we often shame Jonyx for liking Journey over Queen. Never thought they’d be in direct competition with each other but there you go.
What have you been listening in the last few weeks?
In preparation for our most recent Bloodstock appearance, we’ve been listening to a lot of the bands that were playing there this year. Namely bands like Gwar, Lamb of God, Dimmu Borgir, Jinjer, Lorna Shore, and so on. But since we’ve been doing more travelling together, it’s back to our usual 12 hour long car playlist consisting primarily of Pokemon songs.
Are there any releases you have planned in the near future?
Well, I’m glad you asked! Our upcoming debut album ‘Look At Me Now’ is set to be released in late September, and you can pre-order it now on www.novacrowofficial.com/store along with some sexy new merchandise! We got beanies, two brand new t-shirt designs, and so much more! We also just released two singles from said album called ‘Hollow Armour’ and ‘Day Break’, both of which were released along with stunning music videos. SO GET TO PRE-ORDERING NOW BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!
1. If could introduce yourselves for us, who are you?
I’m Hywel, I am the vocalist of Virtue In Vain. We are a metalcore band based in Cardiff/London
2. How did you all meet?
Me and our Guitarist (Emyr) are brothers. Dan (Drums) & Mason (Bass) we both know from other bands that we played in the south wales scene. So at one point we all ended up in the same band together.
3. How long have you been playing?
We have been going about 9 years when this band first started in concept but probably about 6 years we have properly been playing as a band.
4. What three words would you use to describe the music you play?
Heavy, Passionate and Punchy
5. What are your musical influences?
Make Them Suffer, The Devil Wears Prada, Architects, Napoleon, For the Fallen Dreams, Crystal Lake & Currents. Plus many other bands we have played with over the many years.
6. What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen during a show?
Probably two guys full on fighting to a song. It was a proper fight and quite worrying.
7. Being away from the stages in the last few years, where was the first place you visited when the restrictions were lifted?
I just went to visit family and friends. After that it was band prac. It had been so long that the first prac back left us a bit sore the day after.
8. What’s the one record you own but wouldn’t ever admit to owning?
I don’t really know. I am not ashamed of what I listen to. Post malone maybe? I love him but it’s a bit odd for what I normally listen to.
9. What have you been listening in the last few weeks?
I have been jamming Bleed Within lately. Really killing the scene right now.
10. Are there any releases you have planned in the near future?
We are currently writing for our next EP. We have also just announced a small run of shows in the Uk later this year and also have some plans in the works to tour early 2023 so keep checking out our socials for updates.
1. If could introduce yourselves for us, who are you?
Hi. Can I please first start by saying, rather than a band, I’m solo artist Steve Skidmore aka Skidders – song writer, producer, guitarist and session-guitarist. Born in Smethwick in the centre of England, within an area known as the Black Country due to steelworks, furnaces etc., during the Industrial Revolution.
I produce all my own material and play all instruments, apart from the human voice, which I am eminently rubbish at! So my compositions are 95% guitar instrumentals. On my three albums to date, I have not really limited my compositions to be “gig friendly”, hence me gigging mainly with other projects, as I call them. For example, I gig regularly with my duo Bukechi, with the fabulous Sammi Roberts on vocals. However, I will start working on my fourth album shortly, which will be geared towards taking on the road.
2.How did you all meet?
Well, my dad used to live a few doors down from my mom. She was a war widow and my dad asked her out. Apparently, they went out in my dad’s work’s van and my mom complained the rain was coming through the window. So my dad said “What do you want? A Rolls Royce?”. It was pure love from then on. They married a few years later and out I came. The rest is history, as they say.
3.How long have you been playing?
I started playing drums in a band when I was 14. By 15, I had taught myself to play the guitar with the theory I learned from piano lessons. I then took over as lead guitar from 15 onwards.
4.What three words would you use to describe the music you play?
Guitar; Eclectic; Blues.
5.What are your musical influences?
My first inspiration was The Shadows. Hank Marvin, their lead guitarist, played a red Stratocaster and I fell in love with the look and sound. Years later, around 2010, I saw him perform in a small theatre and was one of the best and most emotional concerts I have been to.
Following them, the Beatles – the best pop group that ever was for sure. In later years, I loved CCR, Led Zeppelin, TYA, Black Sabbath, Hendrix, Santana, Rory Gallagher and so on. These days, I love KT Tunstall, Ella Fitzgerald, John Mayer and throughout, Clapton.
6.What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen during a show?
Getting drunk on Pernod and knocking my speaker cabinet over, was not one of my finest hours. Another time, my mobile went off in between songs. A friend wanted to know where exactly we were, so I guided him through over the phone and microphone at the same time – as he entered the hall, the audience gave him a great cheer! I’m afraid that’s it – I’ve never bitten any bat’s heads off or anything like that.
7.Being away from the stages in the last few years, where was the first place you visited when the restrictions were lifted?
I am still being very careful. Not wishing to bore you, but we’re in between houses and staying with the mother in law. She’s very frail and we can’t afford to get covid and pass it on to her. So we’ve avoided places where there’s a concentration of people. I have gigged with Bukechi, but that was outdoors. When we’ve moved into our new house, which should be soon, I’ll be checking out who’s on where. Until then, we’re sitting tight unfortunately.
8.What’s the one record you own but wouldn’t ever admit to owning?
T. Rex’s “Jeepster”. I actually bought the 7” single. Drat – I’ve now admitted it. This is really embarrassing.
9.What have you been listening in the last few weeks?
I’ve been listening to Amthyst Kiah’s “Wary + Strange” – it Is a really great album and I’ve been sharing it with my ‘music’ friends. A bit of a gem not to be missed!
10.Are there any releases you have planned in the near future?
My fourth album will be geared towards playing live, rather than my previous albums. So it will be less “produced” and more cut down instrument wise. I will start work on “Feckem Hall” later this year. I am also recording some guitar for a writer called Kylolus who is putting together a prog-rock album. It is very cool stuff and he has me doing some nice long guitar solos on quite a few of the tracks.
Many thanks to Almost Anything Music for the opportunity of this interview and for all readers, keep safe!
If you could introduce yourselves for us, who are you?
We are Wild Horse. We are made up of brothers Jack Baldwin (lead vocals, guitar, bass, keys) and Henry Baldwin (bass, guitar, keys, backing vocals), and their longtime friend Ed Barnes (drums, backing vocals, guitar). Our music is essentially a hub for our vast array of influences which incorporates pop, funk, rnb, rock, punk, country, blues, gospel, opera etc.
How did you all meet?
Well, as mentioned, Jack and Henry are brothers so they’ve known each other quite a long time! And Jack and Ed met in primary school. There’s a funny story about that. One day their class had to do a paired reading and neither Jack or Ed had anyone to read with. Jack went over to Ed and said “I have no one to read with”, Ed said he didn’t either and asked “do you want to pair up?”, Jack said yes. Ed humorously picked Where’s Wally to read and then said “do you want to be friends?” Jack said “yeah alright” and they’ve been close friends ever since.
How long have you been playing?
We started out really young. Jack was only 11, Ed was 12 and Henry was 14. So we’ve been playing together for 9 years already!
What three words would you use to describe the music you play?
Slick, fun, colorful.
What are your musical influences?
In terms of our influences, we have an extremely wide range. We listen to all kinds of genres. Anything from Pavarotti to Kanye West. Because of this, it would be impossible to individually name all our influences but we incorporate the sounds of Pop, Soul, Rnb, Rock, Jazz, Hip Hop, Dance, Disco, House, Trap, Gospel, Country, Blues, Britpop and Funk into our music. So any artists within these genres, we’re probably influenced by them.
We are extremely inspired by people who have managed to mark their spot amongst the greats and have made a difference to the world. We hope to do the same through our music.
What’s the weirdest thing you’ve seen during a show?
Over the years we’ve seen some pretty weird things. We once had this drunk guy dancing up the front with everyone. Our shows are really energetic so everyone dances so it wasn’t out of the ordinary. But then he starts trying to get on stage and steal our microphones to sing. We politely nudged him away when he would do so but at one point he pushed Jack completely out of the way and then started screaming down the mic like a psychopath. The bouncer came and literally dragged him out by his feet. That one was odd. We’ve also been flashed a few times which we have always found quite funny!
Being away from the stages in the last few years, where was the first place you visited when the restrictions were lifted?
I think the first shows we did once restrictions were gone was festivals. We love playing festivals so much as it’s such a lovey vibe and we missed festivals so we booked ourselves onto as many as we could. And since then we’ve just been playing as many shows as we can as we never want to take that for granted again. It’s our favorite thing to do and the two years we couldn’t do it were really difficult for us.
What’s the one record you own but wouldn’t ever admit to owning?
To be honest, we don’t really have any guilty pleasures in terms of music. We don’t really care to hide our tastes out of embarrassment. We like all kinds of music. We love a bit of One Direction, which is probably the closest we’ve ever been to having a guilty pleasure!
What have you been listening to in the last few weeks?
The past few weeks we’ve been blasting out old Motown, Funk, soul. That kind of stuff. The Supremes, Parliament, Stevie Wonder, The Jackson 5. We’re addicted to it at the moment!
Are there any releases you have planned in the near future?
Well, our new single “Joy Ride” is out everywhere now and your readers will love it so you should definitely check it out. We’re absolutely convinced that it’s the song of the summer. It’s an rnb, funky summer banger. We’ve also got our next song ready for release in a couple of months, and we’re about to head into the studio to record some more songs. So lots more to come, we aren’t going anywhere anytime soon!
Check out Wild Horses latest track, ‘Joy Ride’ below.
