Leave a comment

Farewell in Vegas come from Lille, France and they play an interesting version of hardcore, so it was nice to interview them for my zine.

Hello and welcome to my webzine! For start, how would you describe FAREWELL IN VEGAS to the readers of this zine that didnt hear your band yet.

FIV is a band of true friends that make their music. As simple as that!

How did you get in touch with the underground music scene? Why is this diy underground scene and ethics so beautiful?

We like to see our friends and other people we don’t know at shows! Seeing them enjoy that moment with us is one of the best thing to live in life!

Where do you get the lyrical inspiration?

Scars! The ones we got deep inside ourselves.

Farewell in Vegas

What is more important in your music, the lyrics or the riffs, what comes first when you are making a song?

First I need an instrumental, then lyrics come. Its my way to make music. Instrumental is as important as lyrics for me.

You recently released a new ep. Its rather early for the feedback, but what can you say about the ep?

We are very happy that this EP finally came out! We hope people like it!

How big is the scene in your hometown? Are there venues and clubs and fanzines, bands?

Yes! We almost know evryone in the local rock scene! Some are very good friends of us!

How is living in France in general? Do you have daytime jobs?

Ahah! Living in France is cool! But we’d like to go on tour in different countries! And yes we do!

What do you think about the rising right wing tide in the world? Did the recent terrorist attacks only increase the hatred among people?

Sadly we live in a world of hate… But Love will save our souls one day. It has to!

When are you planning to release the new material? Will it be different compared to the stuff you have done until now?

Early 2018! Oh yes! A new vibe is coming for that new stuff!

Thats it for the first time, thank you for your answers. For the end, tell me one thing. What do you guys know about Croatia? Maybe you heard for some Croatian band from our scene?

Sadly we don’t know much about Croatia! But it would be a pleasure to come and party with you guys!

(record review)SUCH GOLD-“Deep In A Hole ep”(Bird Attack Records)

Leave a comment

Such Gold from New York area recently released a brand new ep via awesome Bird Attack Records, so it was time for me to listen to it and review it for my zine.

The usual problem with ep is that it contains too few songs and it usually leaves you hungry for more. But, that is the purpose of ep is it?

This one contains 5 songs of melodic punk with some hardcore influences. For those who still dont know Such Gold play very technical version of melodic punk style and it is really a pleasure listening to their rich song structures and catchy but complicated sounding guitar riffs. From slower but heartfelt “Ceiling Stare” to fast almost Propagandhi like “Ransom”, this ep is a really pleasure trip for your ears. I can also hear some rock n roll influences in “Worlds Collapse”. It is just incredible how Such Gold varies in song structures and if you have a band you might know how it is actually hard to do such things. The title song is for me the absolute highlight of this record and I found myself trying to hum the melody tune long after I finished listening to the song and went out to do my business in the city. Absolutely another great record and I missed this band when they were in Europe but I will not make the same mistake again.
