Hello there, Apologies, I Have None!
Hello.
Firstly, for the record, and for any unacquainted readers, who is Apologies, I Have None? And how did you come about?
We are four dudes from London who spend most of our time arguing amongst ourselves, and write songs with what time we have left.
You released the excellent London earlier this year. How's life been for the band since?
It's been pretty busy. We did quite a bit of touring at the beginning of the year, then had a good run of shows in the summer, and now we're back off on tour again so I can't complain. It's good!
According to your Tumblr, you're recording some demos at the moment. Care to share any details with us?
We've got a few songs that we're demoing right now. There’s not loads to say about them right now other than we think they are good. It’s probably the same with every band that you always think your newest stuff is your best, but we do think that these newest songs are our best. I guess that’s not really for us to decide though.
You've [had] an incredibly busy few months what with dates with legends Less Than Jake, Reading Festival and a European tour with the brilliant Joyce Manor. What [was] it like to be playing with a band a legendary as LTJ? And indeed playing a festival as popular as Reading on the typically awesome Lock Up Stage?
Playing with Less Than Jake was great. They’ve been doing what they do for a very long time and it’s very inspiring to see them still tear up a stage as much as any band, I truly hope we’ll still be doing that after 20 years.
Playing the Lock Up stage was very special for us. It’s been my favourite stage at Reading since I was young, and to be able to play it was just awesome. The show went very well, I don’t think we could have asked for more.
What other bands [did] you check out at Reading Festival?
I watched The Gaslight Anthem, Me First & The Gimmie Gimmies, Trash Talk, loads of bands really. The Skints were the highlight for me though. It was the busiest I saw the Lock Up tent the whole weekend and they nailed it.
If you can actually choose, what's been the best moment of your musical career so far?
I would say releasing ‘London’. It was the culmination of many many years of work so it was relieving and exciting to finally have it done and out.
If Apologies, I Have None was an ice cream dish, what would it be?
I guess Neapolitan as we can never really seem to agree on anything.
Final words?
