There’ s a real innocence in Jobin
EP, don’ t you find? Ya think? I don’ t know, it’ s hard to hear it from an outsiders perspective. For us though, one of the biggest parts of being in a band is to have fun, so that could be reflected in our EP.
Talk us through the recording of your upcoming LP. Can you tell us any details about it yet? The LP is in its early stages at the moment, the songs have been written for a while but we have only just finished recording the demos. We recorded the demos at The Nave in Leeds which is a great studio with some tasty gear. Hopefully a lot of exciting things to come with the rest of the recording process.
You do sound like you know your gear. Do you record your own material too? We sometimes record our own stuff in the practice room but that’ s about it. Of course when we’ re recording properly in a studio we like to have as much input as possible. In all honesty, we don’ t know too much about gear or recording, we tend to mess around with stuff and see how it turns out... trial and error.
Would you leave Halifax behind and tour the world to play music? What would you miss about Yorkshire? It would be the dream to tour the world and we would leave in a heartbeat! Aside from friends and family we’ d miss the great music scene in Leeds, the DIY ethic of Sheffield, the charity shops of Ilkley( the tape section in the Oxfam), Hebden Bridge Trades Club and of course Munchitos( if you know, you know)!
Lets move on to the big questions... which records are completely underrated masterpieces and why? Definitely Trenchmouth More
Motion, there were a lot of 90’ s American punk bands doing a similar thing but these guys deserve way more attention than they had. Sure Fire Soul Ensembles self titled LP is so sick and we always play it, it’ s very reminiscent of 70’ s funk and soul. Also Money Mark... and Sonny and the Sunsets have an array of great records that are underrated and more people should check‘ em!
