aaaaaaand we're back. Two months since we died and reports of our death have been greatly exaggerated. With the SFC (sucker-for-colour.com) takeover bid in place it's now all about the waiting game whilst the £££ roll in. Since we're too big and drug-addled to actually do any work now we've been contracting work out and returning to the editorial desk (we still edit with chainsawz). Here is a bit our friend Alex Gody (the guy from the Badical) did for us a while back. It's an interview with 52 commercial road! Think of it as a 'how long can I listen to a post rock band bang on before I fall asleep' type competition that you win when you close the browser window.
Alex – How would you describe your sound:
Ben 52: The easiest way to describe it is by the bands we get compared to. We’ve often said that people who haven’t really listened to post rock say Mogwai, people who have Sigur Ros and people of the older generation who haven’t listened to much instrumental music say pink Floyd.
Pat 52: to me the definition of post rock original applied to instrumental music.
Alex: In terms of your sound how would you say that collaborating with other instrumentalists has changed your sound over time. Does it make you approach song writing in a different way or is it when you think a tune needs something else do you bring someone in?
Tommy: we’ve been keen to work with other musicians on a more regular basis. In some cases the song ideas being preformed means it kind of develops in that way naturally rather than having to accommodate it but for some tracks it just needs something else - (CUT! fuck this I'm ending it here, this goes on for fucking ages -ED)
