Interview: Apologies, I Have None (September 22, 2012)

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?

Review: Waking EP by Late Night Beers

Late Night Beers - Waking EP Release Date: 05 June, 2013 Record Label: Self Release Rating: 8.5/10 For Fans Of: White Lodge, emo goes indie Buy It Here Waking by late night beers _________________________________________________________________ New Jersey's Late Night Beers aren't quite like most other emo bands. Whilst they maintain the wonderful miserablism and sadness that we all know and crave, they present us with an alternative proposition. That proposition in a lovely strain of Smiths-onian indie rock which runs throughout the veins of their modern emo sound. Does Morrissey fronting Dowsing sound good to you? Well, it's time that you listen to Waking, the new three track EP from Late Night Beers. Despite the brevity of the EP, Late Night Beers already come across as a band who know what they're doing. Throughout the three tracks on here, we're introduced into the pretty...
