Interview Through Email:

You played at Bloodstock Open Air Festival on the New Blood Stage, what was your experience at the festival? "We all really enjoyed the festival, as we were playing along side Bands that we all love...Devin Townsend, Motorhead etc. We played the Saturday morning and got a good stage time and we had a really good crowd"
   
Did you expect the kind of reviews and response you have been getting about your music? "Yes and no, because we try to aim to sound a little bit different from all the bog standard metal music out there, people either get our music or dont, which we love. We aim to get the interest of the people listening"

In looks like every member of the band sorta has different bands that influenced them, does this sometimes make problems or does it help the band's music? "If anything it adds to it, again we all like such different types...from blues to funk, all kinds comes out when we write music. we do have the common interests in metal obviously, but its the different genres which really help us get our sound"

Is there anything that you have learned about the Music business that you didn't know before starting this band? "Well, we have come into contact with people who want to help us etc, but sometimes they have different ideas to what we want to achieve. also some venues/promoters we have come into contact with want a pay to play scheme, which needs to be stamped out! As its a joke for new up coming bands to get heard!"
How is the band going to keep this success up? "We are in talks with a few different managers and distributions labels at the mo, but we are looking for the right fit for us to release our music. we are also going to go on tour later in the year and keep playing live, which we love to do, since we go a bit crazy on stage!"



We would like to thank Bury the Conscious for doing this interview with us. We hope that they keep there success up for many years to come.

Interview with: The Guitarists (Pelle Aarsbog, Ulrik August Linstad)

Interview Through Twitter:
Why start a Metalcore/Hardcore band? "It's actually hard to say what genre we're in. But we've evolved into a technical metalcore band the last few months, because that's where we take inspiration from."

If someone picks up your EP "Intentions" what should the expect to here? "If someone picks it up, the expectations should be far away from mainstream. Technical and weird rhymes that's setup smoothly."

Whats your favorite song off the EP? "The favorite song would be Lesson Learned! It's a good one."

Whats is the message behind your music? "There's not really a concept throughout the whole EP. There's concepts behind each songs, and you are the one to decide what the concept is."  

What has been the best moment in your career so far? "The best moment would be last Sunday when we signed our contract with the record label."

What has been the biggest hill you had to overcome? "The biggest hill we had to overcome would actually be about the money.. all bands have their huge money issues throughout their career."


Thank you to Turn the Tables for answering our question. We wish you nothing but the best for the rest of your career.
