“The idea mainly spawned from when we were away a lot over the last couple of years.  We always have to introduce ourselves and say here have a listen prior to going in and giving them sampler things and all that stuff. I don’t know, it kind of dawned on us that when you’re doing that sort of stuff how […]

“So after the first record I think we were like we’re not going to go through that experience again, I mean not that it was a terrible thing it wasn’t at all, this album sounds a lot truer to who we are, the each of us, and the people that have heard it so far have all said that, like […]

“…I mean it’s basically if you think about  rock concert that you’ve been to and you multiply it by ten, it’s kind of more, it’s louder and faster and more jumping *laughs* cooler clothes, better guitar playing, you know, the usual… it’s the same thing, just more and better *laughs*” From Release: Australian audiences require no introduction to The Hives. The five-piece […]

“…it’s mainly about performing and the atmosphere when you do perform and one of the most important things for us is to have this sense of well almost community, we want everyone to be involved and we don’t want anyone to feel left out and it’s more about everyone in the room than it is us…” From Bio: Pulled Apart […]

“…as long as we all enjoy playing together and coming up with new songs we’ve just got to keep doing it and enjoy it while we can because the realisation of Steve’s passing, were only here for one shot in life so we’ve got to do it while we’re here and enjoy it, so that’s kind of the path we […]

“I think it’s through and through a Coheed album in the sense that it explores different territories of the band. And in different way than we ever have before.

“This is our sixth record in, Five Finger Death Punch has become a well-oiled machine and we do the things that we do and do them very well, everything is gelling in the sense that everybody writes together and all the ideas are bounced off one another, so pretty much a continuation of the process really.” From release: FIVE FINGER […]

“…these days what seems to remain  of Dr Hook is a sound that people remember, and this many years later that sound almost causes a sense memory, I can tell by what people say to me it’s almost like you smell chicken and you think of your mom’s house *laughs*, so I want this music to sound like they remember […]

“…we pretty much just went in and we never deviated from it we never thought we had to appease someone that might like screaming, someone that might like singing, we just purely stayed true to what we wanted to do and very, very excited for people to hear it, so there’s a lot of cool stuff on the record.” From […]

“…I love performing, I love being on stage, I love playing guitar and singing in front of people and making them dance and party and have a good time.

“…it’s kind of like we know the ten, eleven or twelve songs that we have to play that are fan favourites or so to speak, and then from there we just kind of try to sprinkle in and try to represent every era of the band and then you know try to make ourselves happy too, we like to entertain […]

“It’s just honest music, it’s not like a bunch of dudes in spandex pants, big hair, driving around in limos talking about fucking chicks and doing cocaine, it’s honest blue collar lyrics that connect with kids and I think the world was kind of missing that and it found its place pretty damn quick.” From release: The mid 90’s were […]

Fuelled by a burning desire to rage harder, play louder and have […]

“…when we disbanded in 1997 that was a good time to do that, no one’s heart was in it anymore, it was over, we all love each other but we just ended the band, and then fast forward to the making of this full length record as you call it, everybody wanted it, and everybody was in a good space…” […]

“…when the word Allegiance came up for me when naming this thing I wanted something loyalty, just a loyal group if you will and that’s kind of where the name came from and that’s what we’re trying to do, bring in all these different people, all these sub-genres of metal under one roof.” From release: Heavy Metal is more than […]

“…all we know is we’re only going to return when we’re all ready to commit for the long haul, when we’re ready to give it back to the fans the way they deserve it and we’re not gonna half ass it, we’re gonna come back stronger than ever and we have to make a statement and we have to make […]

“I just want to tour the venues, bigger venues that are dangled in front of me like a carrot, like “If you get back with the old band you can play here” I know someday it’s just a matter of time before it’s “OK, just fuckin’ play here” *laughs* so that’s what I would like to accomplish… I would like […]

“So really over the last four years we’ve become quite a family and I think that the guys are actually very, very proud of what they produced, they know the band very well, they know the material very well, and at a certain point the muttering started of we should actually record all this stuff because the band has never […]

“Basically we took about a year to write songs which we’d never done before, so we had a lot of material diving into that period to choose from to put on the album, so it was actually a bit tedious trying to pick all the best ideas, we actually felt like we were very productive, we made a lot of […]

“We’re still all kind of young, we’ve got a fire, an ambition and we just want to be a timeless band, we want to be as big as we possibly can, reach as many fans as we can and just continue to make music, I mean that’s the main thing, right?” From Release: Over the course of their career, Bullet For […]

“…I’m enjoying this, I enjoy working with Adam, I’m very proud of the record we made and I think it’s only the beginning of what we’ll be able to do. There was two very hard decisions that we’ve had to make as a band, one was deciding on the name and figuring out what that was going to be, and […]
