Hey Bloggers!
I was lucky
enough to catch up with Puppet Rebellion (minus Craig who had to stay inside
with the stuff) after I photographed their gig at The Full Moon in Newcastle on
4/12/15 (last Friday)! Unfortunately, part of the interview didn’t save so I
had to get Jim to email me all of the information again – I’ve learned from my
school boy error and will be purchasing a dictaphone for future events!
Here’s how the
interview went!
How did you all meet?
Henry:
match.com
Ollie:
Tinder
Jim: Pretty
boring really! Our original singer was looking
for like-minded musicians. He was already friends with our old drummer. He put
an ad up on various band websites. Craig answered, then so did Paul and I. We
were very lucky to find Ollie after our old singer left, and our latest recruit
is our new drummer Henry - who is awesome!
Describe your sound/influences?
Henry:
loud
Paul:
kind of indie/rock ish
Jim: I like to think we’re quite contemporary like, we’ve
got our own style. We have quite varied tastes within the band! Like Paul’s got
his own distinct tone. Some names that come up pretty often though are Bloc
Party, The Strokes and Interpol
What is your favourite song to perform live
and why?
Jim: I
think we all enjoy playing a song off our last EP called Claim to Fame. It's
great to play live and our fans seem to really enjoy it. We usually play it
after one of our slower songs, so it really picks things up again!
Henry and
Ollie: yeah
Paul: I
also like cupboards painted red because everyone thinks it’s a love song but it’s
actually about domestic violence
Jim has been voted the funniest and the fan favourite - do any other band members have a trademark or nickname?
Jim: Everybody
loves Jim - he's amazing.
Henry
is 'King of the Kit'. Paul has massive feet, but that's not trademarked or
anything
What are your future plans?
Jim: World
domination! We hope to release our debut album in 2017 (we're not rushing and
want to make it as good as it can be). Before then we'll maybe do a couple of
small releases... watch this space!
I’m
going to be writing a short review of the night and will include some of the
photos I took for the guys!
Follow
the boys on twitter @PuppetRebellion and facebook Puppet Rebellion and keep an
eye out for their tracks!
Thanks
for reading!
