Blowback
Definitely Sweden has one
of the finest metal scenes in Europe but they also have some really good
bands in the rock music too. Blowback is a new band who recently released
a split CD and they now prepare for their full length album. Read what
they told us in our conversation before a few days...
1. Hi guys, tell us the latest news from
the camp of BlowBack?
Well the news from the campo of Blowback..
well currently we are writing some new songs for our comming album... we
aim to record sometime in the beginning of next year. We are also playing
some gigs.. we have a mini tour of finland in oktober as well as some other
gigs here and there. Next big thing for us is that we are moving in with
Asteroid... to share rehearsal room...
2. Before a few months, I listened to your
latest demo CD and now I have in my hands your newest work a split CD with
Asteroid. Tell us some things about this release.
Hmm about the release... well we had a great
release party and everything went well... real fun both bands preformed
well. We are really happy about the response this split has recieved, alot
of good reviews and such. It was hard work recording it so that people
like it makes it all worth it! Great!! And thanks to you all!!
3. Will you release your full length album
through Fuzzorama Records, the responsible label for releasing your split
CD?
Oooohh well ... it’s early days yet.. It all
depends, we have not discussed this with Fuzzorama Records yet so there’s
no real answer to that.. but they have done a good job with the split!
4. Are you satisfied with the final result
so far?
Well yes of course.. with the response we’ve
had so far it feels good... but.. we always feel that we can do more, and
better... there’s always a new hill to climb!!!
5. Which is the reaction from the press and
the fans for this split CD?
Well as we said earlier the response have
been better than we thought and that’s really great!
6. You definitely adore the music from the
previous decades. Do you believe that you could transfer this atmosphere
by adding some modern elements in your music?
Hahahah thanks for describing what we are
trying to do so well ;) ... We all listen to music from the 60s and
70s but also new music... so I’m not sure we could write music that wasn’t
contemporary in some ways, and we all have different favourite bands and
ideals so all these things gets mixed up in our music!
7. Have you confirmed any live shows for the
near future?
Well the closest one is at a private party...
then as we mentioned earlier its a few gigs in Finland and Malmoe in the
south of Sweden and probably something in our hometown as well... we try
to book as much as possible... we love playing live.. it’s the best there
is!
8. Which are your dreams for BlowBack?
Our dreams.... hmmm get richer than the king???
hahahaha ... well to play a lot of gigs and sell our music of course, tour
and record new material... I suppose we want more or less the same things
as any band that put down the amount of work we do... to get famous ;)
hehehe
9. By the way, why did you choose this name
for the band?
Well it’s one of those questions.... in England
where Seb lived for a while a blowback is the name of one of many ways
to smoke weeds... we thought it had a nice ring to it ;)
10. Thank you very much for your time and close
the interview as you want…
Thank you for the interview... and letting
us close it as we wish....hehe well were all sat in our incredibly warm
rehearsal room for probably the last time before we move.. and also have
finished writing a new song... we’ve got no name for it yet but we think
it’s a pretty nice tune ;) . Hell man .. hopefully we’ll come and play
in Greece soon, we’ve heard there’s a lot of stoners/retros and doomers
there so we think it would be cool! Have a nice one!!! / Blowback
