Here's my interview with band The Filthy Honey
How'd you get started in music? Well, I tried to work in a shop, a haberdashery - "what size are you? Do you wear black?" That sort of thing. But I didn't like the hours so I became a full time dreamer.
Who are your inspirations or influences? The music I'm releasing at the moment was written years ago so I've forgotten what influenced most of it. One song was influenced by the Syrian civil war whilst another was just simply a rip off of an Eels song, so it varies. I'm currently working on an album that tells the story of Red Dead Redemption 2 - so I guess you could say that's my inspiration at the moment.
What advice would you offer aspiring performers? Don't expect anything from it. Chances are, you're not going to make a living out of it so don't stress out trying to do so - just try to have fun instead. If it happens, then it happens. If it doesn't, well, at least you had fun along the way. Of course, I was the complete opposite of that when I was younger.
How do you set yourselves apart from other bands or singers? I honestly don't think like that. I have no aspirations so I don't plan my music in that way. I just write whatever music I feel like writing at the time. if it sounds like someone else then so be it. Likewise, if it doesn't, that's ok too. And if I think a song sounds too much like someone else, I just change the key of it.
Any new gigs or albums in the future? I think there will be another single in the summer called "Here it comes". After that will be the album. And then hopefully after that Red Dead Redemption 2 inspired album.
