HS2 are band (note: not a band, see further down) that don’t take things seriously and don’t want to be taken seriously (well, maybe a bit). There’s enough wrong with the UK without adding to our woes. Let’s have a laugh about stuff using the very British tools of sarcasm and satire…
Simple things first – where are you guys from?
We certainly aren’t from London, that’s all you need to know for now.
How did you meet?
We certainly didn’t meet on Fortnite, that’s all you need to know.
How long have you been playing as a band?
We don’t use the pronoun band, we prefer the pronoun Anti-Cult Cult.
Before you get sick of being asked… where does the band name come from?
Google HS2, see what happens.
What are your influences?
Our idiocracy is the gift that keeps on giving.
Describe your music. What makes you unique?
A 3 piece rock band ignoring everyday boring musical subject matters such as “I saw you across the room and you were pretty”, “Let’s go out and have a good time tonight”, and “Be nice to everyone bro”.
Do you have any particular lyrical themes?
Everything that you aren’t supposed to talk about.

What’s your live show like? How many shows have you played?
[classified]
What’s the wildest thing you’ve seen or done at a live show?
[classified]
What kit do you use / guitars do you play / etc.?
Gibson Les Paul, Fender Precision Bass, Gretch Kit, Noble and Cooley snare and Paiste cymbals. I’m sure the desire to play them will go down now…
What, if anything, are you plugging/promoting at the moment?
Our new single – “Because You’re From London”. Out now on all DSPs!
Our latest video game collaboration – POLITICS USA
What are your plans for the next 6 months or so?
We aim to release a song every 6 weeks until we are dead or arrested.
If you were second on a three-band bill, which band would you love to be supporting and which band would you choose to open for you? A chance to plug someone you’ve toured with, or a mate’s band we’ve not heard of before!
Pertti Kurikan Nimipäivät and Daniel Wakeford
