Describe your musical sound?
We have so many different influences in our sound, some
stuff can be compared to the likes of Editors and others
like The Vines or We Are Scientists,
Essentially its in your face rock music, catchy melodies
and driven rock guitars is what its all about.
What Gigs do you have lined up?
At the moment were in the process of getting together more
new songs for our live set, we have one show booked in Brighton
this month at a venue called Kulture,
its one of the few we havent played before and are very
much looking forward to it.
There is also a possibility were playing at the concorde2
on the night of halloween which if all goes ahead will be
a fantastic night.
We've had the privildge of playing that stage four times
and its a magnificent venue with the best atmosphere of
any venue in the city.
Do
you have an album ready to be released?
It's far too early days to start thinking about an album
for us,
at the moment we are writing a lot of material a lot of
the time, as soon as we get one new song weve made another
which is much better. Sooo...i think we would have to really
establish what our strongest songs are and then start looking
into it.
Of course if we had a record label paying for the studio
time it would make the whole scenario a lot easier as well
!
Do
you write all your own material?
yeah, everything we write is 100% Rylics.
Do
you all write together or is one of you the main songwriter?
Well it works in different ways. I usually write the songs
as a whole peice and then take it to the guys, and we remake
it and shift it about and fuck it up a bit.
Its a process that works well and we all have massive input
into the songs.
I always write the lyrics however, thats something that
i always enjoy doing. Can really scoop out your brain and
plop it onto a peice of paper with that one.
Where
do you find inspiration for each song you write?
Hmm.
Inspiration comes from many different places. Obviously
i gain influence from bands and songs but its mainly stories
or emotions that are going on with me at the current time.
As i said before, usually a case of offloading a bit brain
juice and just expressing myself. Usual songwriting shenanigans
i guess. Its an outlet for your emotions i guess.
You've
got your own tshirt range, do you do the design for
them?
Are you bringing out any more merchandise?
We
do indeed have some t-shirts, we mainly made them just to
see if people were interested in buying them. and they were...which
was fantastic.
We will eventually bring out more merchandise but its not
really our key focus at the moment, in the new year when
we start a fresh and get everything really going? then we'll
start getting some more stuff in,
we have badges and demos and t-shirts, that'll do for the
time being.
Are
your T.shirts only available through your myspace or do
you have an official website to?
We
dont have an official website, these days which unsigned
bands do?
Myspace is such a fantastic tool for bands to use and it
makes sence just to go through that.
Which
gig has been your favourite to preform at so far?
Hmm...
well we've had the privilidge to play with some great bands.
Both local acts and national acts, bands such as Talula
(who recently came off tour with muse), floors and walls,
templeton pek, Thoughts Collide, Etc and they have all been
pretty fun.
We had a show recently at the freebutt in Brighton and a
load of our mates came down and really packed the place
out which was fantastic, thats probably my most recent fun
gig...
Do
you have any gigs coming up that you are exited about?
The concorde2 show if all goes ahead...
What
band's are you all listening to at the moment?
at the moment im listening to an underground band called
Yourcodenameis:milo, unfortunately they split up last year
which is such a shame as ive only just discovered them.
There a bunch of geordies and are an absolutely outstanding
band, so inspiring to listen to. There probably my favourite
band at the moment.
Tom is listening to a lot of Nouvelle Vague and Beck at
the moment, and Rudi listens to fucking everrrything, at
the moment he is into a fair bit of Biffy Clyro and Muse,
not to mention a gazillion electronic bands who i havent
even heard of.
What
set's you apart from other bands?
Erm, i think the fact the genre of music we play isnt being
played by many other bands our age, it seems to be a lot
of quite dull generic pop indie rock and i find that all
rather bland, If its done well its good and some bands are
brilliant at that sound but personally i just switch right
off it,
i think were quite hard to put into a genre as although
were based around rock we have quite an eclectic sound,
so.
maybe that.
Are
you currently signed to an record label?
were not no. These days thats not always the most neccessary
thing anyway, if it did come up then we would certainly
listen to offers of course.
Do
you have a single scheduled in for release?
We want to whack some stuff on itunes at some point but
as a band we dont really think weve found "our"
song yet.
A lot of people have requested "paranoid distortion"
to be released and it was seriously considered by me and
the boys, but at the moment i think we need to make that
killer EP and then take it from there.
Will
your tracks from myspace been availble on your album release?
Too early to say, i have a small feeling a few of them might
get on there... we will have to wait and see if anyone fancies
paying for us to make it and how long into the future that
will be !
Do
you have any messages for your fans?
