Q&A with Matthew Perryman Jones

“I’m a product of the 80’s and my musical taste was shaped largely by bands like The Pixies , REM , U2 , Echo and the Bunnymen and other underground bands of that time. It was the era of epic art-rock and smart pop. I ate it up. This record certainly nods to my influences […]

The Winter Sounds

Q&A with The Winter Sounds

Not sure if there’s a band out there as comfortable with being on the road non-stop as The Winter Sounds.

Seriously, they embark on the mystery of big tours consisting of 217 shows as easy […]
