Interview with Mallory Knox

Mallory Knox are a darn talented band. Not only did they manage to storm up to the coveted  #1 position on the iTunes Rock Chart with their debut album Signals but they also managed to get #4 on the Albums Chart last time I checked. You have to admit, it's pretty impressive. So, as a way of bringing in more fans who may not have heard of them yet and to give their current fans what I hope will be an interesting read,
I did this interview with lead singer Mikey Chapman and bassist/ backing vocalist Sam Douglas. You can have a look at the official version of the interview here.

An Introduction

To say the least, mine is long overdue so I better begin rather than leave you wondering about who I am and what I'm doing with this blog.

So... Hello! I'm Shamini. Just your average teenager with a passion for music, though my preferred genre is rock. I currently contribute to a youth publication known as The Cut by doing the occasional interview with a few bands. However, I get a word limit of only a couple of hundred words, which is why I post the full interviews up here for actual fans of the band. Sooner or later I'll start posting album and gig reviews but I have a bit of restraint on time at the moment so we'll just have to wait and see where this goes.

And that would be pretty much it. I leave you a tad bit more informed about and hopefully interested in my little blog. Enjoy reading the interviews :)

Interview with Scholars

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of seeing a band called Scholars play live while I was in Sheffield. Although I had heard good things about them from a friend of mine, I wasn't really expecting much because if they were so good, surely I should have heard more about them, right? Wrong. To be quite brief, they are a force to be reckoned with;I was blown away by their performance and regretted not listening to their songs sooner. How they've remained underground so long is a mystery to me. Either way, I left with two thoughts that night. The first was that it is never a good idea to wear shorts in December, no matter how sweaty you think you're going to get at a concert. The second was that I needed to interview them. So, without further ado, I present to you my interview with Chris Aylett, the bassist in Scholars. You can view the official version here.
