Happy Release Day <3

Ich rate wirklich dazu die 4LP (oder die Doppel-CD) zu nehmen, weil das Konzert, was sie da leztztes Jahr im März gestreamt haben, wirklich fantastisch war. Das ist dann auch die ultimative Live-Version von "Basketball Shoes".

Auch wenn mein "Nachbar" beim Köln-Konzert den Abend aufgenommen hat und ich das ganze Konzert jetzt als Erinnerungs-Bootleg habe. Hach.

Can you tell us anything about the future of Black Country New Road’s sound as the make-up of the band is changing going forward?

Charlie: Isaac leaving is a big thing. As we said in our statement it’s really hard to quantify all of the influences he had on the group, it was massive. But if Black Country New Road had rested solely on the merits of one person then we would have ended the band with Isaac leaving. But because it’s doesn't, we haven’t. In very tangible ways the band sounds pretty similar. The songs are definitely different and we are exploring spaces we have never been to before, but we are the same musicians playing our instruments. It’s just the songs will be new and that’s exciting.

Tyler: Before any of this happened we had for a long time discussed an evolution. New voices coming in and roles and responsibilities changing. It’s taught us that it’s really important to relieve people of responsibility in order to keep everyone in check and to actually live up to this thing that we have been saying about everyone holding the same responsibilities. It’s daunting to be ‘the voice’ of a band. Even if we do make the music 100% collaboratively, there’s an added pressure that the vocalist gets and we have learned that we really need to share that.

Lewis: Tyler’s got the best voice so she will be singing the bangers. I will be singing the flop.

(all laughing)

Charlie: (laughing) Me, Luke, May and Georgia will be doing all the vocal skits in between all the songs.
