INTERVIEWS

Sometimes, a band needs little introduction and simply lets the riffs do the talking. Such is the case with Yorkshire four piece L.O.C. In the run up to their new release 'Family Values', I had the pleasure of speaking with frontman and guitarist Adam to find out a bit more about the band.

Norwich to Wacken, Wacken to Bloodstock. One hell of a bike ride. However, for the past few years, Laurence 'O.B' O'Brien has been making the pilgrimage, a positively unique way of getting to experience two of metal's greatest open air festivals, all for the name of charity too.

There's a new band in town...if that town is a county and that county is Merseyside. Since forming last year, Liverpool based DROPSTITCH have been hard at work bringing their post-hardcore sound to audiences.

"Art belongs together, why have them separate? Music, theatre, spoken word, film… they all help us feel what we can’t feel on our own. I think performances become more powerful when worlds bleed into each other a bit."

"It's been really full-on - but I love that. I'm a very obsessive person and I love the prep-period for a release, putting things together and fiddling with things. It's also been such a wild response so far - the support that people are already showing this band is properly mind-blowing and we're so so grateful for it."
