A short while ago I pinged off a few questions to one-time one-man-band, now actual-band Vredehammer. Today, they came back by carrier alligator, scrawled in the blood of an unborn sasquatch by Per Valla... Up until 2009, Vinteroffer was a one man (Per Valla) band. What led to the recruitment of Kristoffer and then the … Continue reading Vredehammer interview

Interview: Electric River (13th May 2014, Glasgow Cathouse)

However, it's finally here!

Why the long delay? Billy: We were kids … Continue reading Interview: Chrysalis

The band were a little over halfway through a fairly extensive trip around the British Isles. We discussed the band's beginnings, how they came to play ska/punk … Continue reading Interview: Suburban Legends in Glasgow

A new release and your first through a label (Ghost / Subliminal Groove). How has this differed to your experiences with the first album which you self-released? I think it … Continue reading Nexilva – interview
