DJ Interviews: Crimson Disc

 Hey there everyone its your old friend DJ Dizzy here, & I'm back with another interview this time with the band Crimson Disc, This is a dou bnd consisting of meers Wolf & Cam who sat down with me to speak on their musical beginnings.

How'd you get started in music? 

Wolf: "It was 1977, punk was conquering the world and me and my mates were hell bent on starting a punk band, so the not so famous "Störning" ("Disturbance") was formed with me on bass guitar." 

Cam: "I was a church boy and there came a need and an opportunity to do something musical, so I decided to teach myself guitar in 1990 and played in a group with my siblings. I also started as a bass player. Maybe that helps the brotherhood between us, we both have seen band stuff from the unassuming bass 'corner', whilst the main performers were doing their flashy stuff out front!"

 Who are your inspirations or influences? 

Wolf: "At first almost all of the first wave of punk, later on all sorts of artists like Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath etc."

Cam: "We both really dig the classic rock of the 70s and 80s, I'm a bit softer than my viking friend, taking in pop influences that make him throw up in his mouth :). Rock people like the Offspring, the Killers, Green Day, whilst Elton and Billy Joel also get a look in, and bands of New Romantic phase of the early 80s like Duran Duran and Depeche Mode."

What advice would you offer aspiring performers? 

Wolf: "Just. Do. It. Get some friends together and start a band. If you're not trained before, it will probably sound like crap to start with, but you will learn, and you will have fun doing it. Later on, you should really try to get a live gig - live gigs are probably one of the best aspects of music.

 Cam:  Don't be afraid to write songs and make mistakes. Hindsight is better than fear."

How do you set yourselves apart from other bands or singers? 

Wolf: "Well... I partnered up with this bloke on the other side of the globe, making it as good as impossible to play live, hehe. Seriously though, we have a very interesting partnership going."

Cam: "We try to not put limits on ourselves and just go with what feel the song needs. Composing without the other party being in the room is a different process and has it's pluses and minuses, but we were mates before the music... I think that has been important, even if we do live in different hemispheres."

 Any new gigs or albums in the future? 

Wolf: "Yeah, our 4th album will probably hit the digital outlets during 2024."

 Cam: "It certainly will."
