PRIMAL STATIC are an alternative rock/blues/electro duo who hail from Austin, Texas.

Their music seduces with the soulful essence of blues, and fearlessly rocks with trance rhythms and beats. Song writer/singer/guitarist G. T. sings and plays without reservation, dripping with raw emotion. His exquisitely thought provoking lyrics are second to none. Keyboardist/bassist Houfei brings up the rhythm section with her elastic soulful bass and wonderful classically trained keyboard playing. The band uses innovative trance beats to round out their incredibly unique sound sculpture.

We caught up with them to chat about their musical upbringings, dream producers and lineups and what they’d be if they weren’t musicians, here’s how we got on….

Threatpoint is a Thrash/Groove/Metal quintet from Scranton, Pennsylvania (yep, the same place where the TV series THE OFFICE is based) who blend many different styles of hard rock and metal to make up their unique sound. Growing tired of the endless negativity they see out there in the world, they focus on positive messages within their music to bring hope and strength to the listener.

We caught up Chris James (vocalist) from the band for a quick chat about how they started out, meeting heroes and what he loves and hates about the music industry, here’s how we got on….

You may have noticed that we’ve been chatting to bands and artists that are going to be performing at this year’s BOARDMASTERS FESTIVAL which takes place in Newquay, Cornwall from 7-11 August. We saw that an Australian born singer songwriter called LUCY GALLANT is playing on the View stage on Sunday afternoon and we were keen to find out more about her and her music, here’s how we got on….

I was over the moon when I heard that Devon alt-folk duo SOUND OF THE SIRENS were going to be appearing at BOARDMASTERS FESTIVAL in Newquay this summer, so much so, I got on the information superhighway machine (laptop) and emailed Abbe and Hannah and asked if they’d be up for having a quick chat about it.

Abbe came straight back to me and we had a good old chat about how they felt when they heard they were playing at the festival, heroes they’d like to meet this year and the year Hannah queued up for a bus when she didn’t even need one! Here’s how we got on….

We chatted to Jason Williamson from SLEAFORD MODS a couple of weeks back ahead of the release of their latest album Eton Alive.

I since found out that that they were appearing at BOARDMASTERS FESTIVAL on Saturday 10th August. It seemed a shame to use the same interview twice so we got back in touch with his lovely management team and sent a fresh batch of questions through all about the festival for him to take a look at. Here’s how we got on….

With the recent announcement from the team at BOARDMASTERS FESTIVAL advising who the final headliner is going to be for the August festival, I thought I’d best get my backside in gear and chat to a few bands and artists who were fortunate enough to see their names appear on the famous lineup poster. We’ve been following a North Devon based young chanteuse who has amazed us with her vocal skills over the past couple of years and to see her being recognised and awarded with a slot at THE biggest festival in Devon and Cornwall is amazing, ladies and gentlemen, I give you YAZZY

With the BOARDMASTERS FESTIVAL lineup being announced recently, we wanted to get in early and find out more about some of the bands and acts performing, we kick things off by chatting to Tim Nice who is 50% of BRONX CHEER who’ll be bringing their unique blend of deep, vocal and tech house music vibes to the masses, here’s how we got on….

It’s been a while since we spoke to Jay McAllister, a couple of years even but it didn’t take long to get into the swing of things. We met in the green room of Exeter Phoenix, got comfy, cracked open some beers and had a great chat about touring, Australia, festivals, parenthood and his next album, click the ‘Play’ button below to see how we got on….

Katy Hurt is somewhat of a travelling nomad, she was bought up in New York and now resides back in Blighty where she spends 99% of her days touring the country, performing with her band. We heard that she was supporting the mighty Gangstagrass on a couple of their UK headline tour dates and thought it would be a great opportunity to chat to her at the Exeter Phoenix venue. Sadly, the foul weather (snow, lots of it) scuppered our plans so I had to make do with a phone interview instead. We had a great chat and after a few minutes, realised that we know a lot of the same people, it really was a Twilight Zone moment…..here’s how we got on!

It was back in November 2015 when we last chatted to Cornish ‘acid world rockers’ WILLE AND THE BANDITS, fast-forward three and a bit years to 2019, they had just released their latest album ‘Paths’ and were looking fresh faced, excited at the prospect of heading out on the first leg of their UK tour.

The tour would take them all over the UK and come to a close at the end of March. In April, they head out to Europe to play a ton of live shows before returning to the UK in June to grace a few fields with their presence (UK Festival season). Armed with a box of Sainsbury’s cherry bakewell’s (so rock n’ roll), I joined Wille, Matt and Drew in the green room at the Exeter Phoenix to chat about the new album, touring, funny things that have happened to them at festivals and tons more!

With their fifth studio album Eton Alive set for release on February 22nd followed by a MASSIVE 33 date UK tour, we chatted to the charismatic and utterly captivating Jason Williamson from Sleaford Mods about his work partnership with Andrew Fearn, his loves and loathes of touring and some of the bands and artists that deserve your time….

It was a beautiful day, the recent snowfall had started to thaw and I had an appointment with FRANK TURNER ahead of the penultimate date of the Be More Kind world tour which culminates in a headline show at London’s Alexandra Palace. on February 3rd. We had a good chat about how many shows he has left in him, his forthcoming book, the Lost Evenings gigs in May, playing DJ sets and UK/European festivals, click ‘play’ below to hear the entire interview.
