Ten musicians who for one reason or another, took it too far in 2012
Following the release of their second album this summer, The Edge spoke to guitarist Freddie Cowan and drummer Pete Robertson of The Vaccines to discuss ABBA, ambition and sex changes.
A huge name in the punk rock genre, Billy Talent are still going strong after nearly 20 years. Before the band’s recent gig at Portsmouth Pyramids, The Edge caught up with lead vocalist Ben Kowalewicz and bassist Jon Gallant to discuss touring, their new album, and how they’ve retained their longevity across their hefty career.…
I went down to Brighton to see new band O.W.L.S. serving up some hot grunge in the Prince Albert. I’d been excited to check this band out, having been a big fan of lead-singer and guitarist Toby and guitarist Richie’s previous work in Stone Gods, also featuring The Darkness guitarist Dan Hawkins. After watching their…
I caught up with Mayday Parade’s frontman Derek Sanders before their show at The Old Firestation in Bournemouth. The pop punk five piece from Tallahassee, Florida are touring veterans, they’ve been to the UK supporting the likes of You Me At Six in the past and now on their own nearly sold out headline tour.…
Fresh from winning the prestigious Mercury Prize for their début album An Awesome Wave I got to speak to Gwil Sainsbury and Thom Green from the band about their reaction to winning the prize, their music videos and more.
As the final UK tour date promoting his new album From The Top Of Willamette Mountain nears, we talk to Joshua James about ghost hunting, the album making process, culture, and even farm life.
DJ Fresh tells The Edge about his upcoming movie plans, working on new tracks with Rita Ora, Dizzee Rascal and Ms Dynamite, and a song he’s just recorded with Diplo’s label. What can we expect from the show tonight? The unexpected! Hopefully not the unexpected for me, ‘cause that’d be a disaster, but we’ll be…
Moving on to your debut album can you take me through the writing and producing process of it? Yeah, it took about two years for me to record my first album. So obviously the first year was just mainly trying to find the sound, find what kind of artist was I gonna be. We tried…
19 year old male solo artist Conor Maynard has experienced quite the transformation from the young chap we originally saw on YouTube covering Drake. It was a pleasure to be able to catch up with him prior to his show at the O2 Academy in Bournemouth on his latest UK tour. How has the tour…
The experience of the cinema is one becoming increasingly redundant in modern times. Why pay an unreasonable ticket price to sit through an hour of advertising preceding 90+ minutes of Hollywood banality – when there’s the option of remaining comfortable at home away from noisy popcorn munches with a Netflix stream of your choosing? Fortunately I was…
I leaped at the chance to interview guitarist Joel Peat from Lawson, Britain’s hot new guitar-pop band. They’ve had an amazing year with the success of three top ten singles, and with even more in the pipeline, it’s fair to say that their fan base could soon be bigger than Bieber’s! We get the lowdown…
After the release of her sophomore album Electra Heart earlier this year, and in the midst of her Lonely Hearts Club UK tour, The Edge caught up with Marina & The Diamonds to talk about touring, Electra Heart, and new music. How’s the tour been so far? It’s actually been much more enjoyable than the first,…
Natt Day catches up with Palma Violets after their performance at Joiners.
