Stereoboard Speak To The Answer About Extensive Touring And Their Rock N Roll Revival (Interview)

The Answer are one of the finer finds in the realm of rock ‘n’ roll. Proving that the genre, contrary to the opinions of certain press outlets, is far from dead, the Irish foursome are in the midst of a lengthy club UK tour following the release of their third and highly acclaimed record ‘Revival’. In the midst of this tour, and on a journey to find food for the evening, the band’s bassist Micky Waters took a little time to talk about everything from their extensive touring with the mighty AC/DC to proving to the critics that rock ‘n’ roll isn’t dead as they hit the top 40 with their latest offering.

Stereoboard Speak To Steel Panther Ahead Of The Release Of Brand New Album 'Balls Out' (Interview)

Steel Panther are, as cited themselves, ‘the greatest heavy metal band of all time’. Let’s not dispute this fact. If you’re unfamiliar with their full repertoire, chances are you’ve heard ‘Death to All But Metal’, the track in which they happily open with the lyrics “Fuck the Goo Goo Dolls, they can suck my balls”. Following 2009’s triumphant studio debut as this current namesake, ‘Feel The Steel’, the spandex-loving foursome are in the final stretch of the run-up to the release of their sophomore record ‘Balls Out’.

I am sat downstairs at the High Street Caffe Nero in Oxford. It is October 1st and 29C outside. While the café is lovely and air-conditioned, the stifling heat outside is something I’ve never experienced in an October in my lifetime. I get a text message from Kates manager telling me that the Oxford traffic is a nightmare (which is never a surprising text message to read, as Oxfords traffic is never exactly the stuff dreams are made of), and they’ll be a few minutes late. I’m slightly thankful for this as it gives me a few more minutes to grab a second coffee.

Stereoboard Speak To Matt Cardle About Life After X Factor & His Anticipated New Album (Interview)

It's a common misconception that X Factor winners are the epitome of the word manufactured. A cover version here, a cheesy song there. It's not the norm to have an X Factor contestant, let alone winner, that can actually write their own songs, play their own instruments, and not be bossed around or owned by "The Man". Last year, Matt Cardle broke the mould when he not only won X Factor, but smashed the voting polls every week but one with his natural talent. A down to earth genuine guy who just wanted to sit on stage wearing his hat, playing his guitar, and showing the viewers that this show can give real musicians a platform to be heard.

Following the release of their second album ‘Screaming is Something’ and a tour that has seen the new record gather a host of early admirers, Manchester’s The Travelling Band are currently getting settled in to the festival season with dates at Eden Sessions, Green Man and Standon Calling. With more headlining dates on the horizon, the folk rockers have a busy few months ahead and things are just getting started. Frontman Adam Gorman recently took some time out from their hectic schedule to chat with Stereoboard about the band, their music and the meaning behind ‘Screaming is Something’. Whatever your opinion of U2, Coldplay and Beyonce might be, there is no denying that, headliners and celebrity attendance aside, Glastonbury is one of the country’s most diverse music festivals, which offers young hopefuls an opportunity to share their music with the masses. One group that you won’t find arguing against this point is Manchester-based indie folksters The Travelling Band. Although they weren’t gracing any of the Somerset event’s many stages last weekend, the festival must have brought back some fond memories for the quintet. In 2008, The Travelling Band were fortunate enough to be given the honour of opening Worthy Farm’s Other Stage, despite being relatively unknown at the time, after receiving the festival’s Best New Talent award. A proud achievement indeed, and the perfect celebration to accompany the release of the band’s first album ‘Under the Pavement’. Three years on and the group are back with their sophomore release ‘Screaming is Something’ and, this time, they are setting their sights high.
