HEAVY FLUID ADDICTS

Q

Please introduce your band, the current line-up and what each of you do.

A

Mark – eating; Andy – sniping; Lee – smouldering; Matt - moping

Q

How would you describe the band’s sound?

A

It’s usually better if we don’t try. It’s loud and noisy.

Q

How do you approach your song writing and what is your lyrical theme/content?

A

Obliquely. We sneak up on the song and murder it. The words are Generation-X odes to self pity.

Q

Who gets involved with writing of lyrics and melody? Is it down to specific individuals or a collaborative process?

A

We don’t talk about melody. Matt writes sentences; Mark writes paragraphs.

Q

How often do you practice and have you any shows lined up?

A

1.5 times a week; D & P 16th Feb; Semi-final of Get In The Ring on the 20th or the 27th of February.

Q

What has been your best gig so far, and why is it so memorable?

A

Don’t remember – we’ve been doing this for a very long time. These days, still being alive at the end of the set is a result.

Q

What was the last song you listened to, either on the radio, your mp3 player, at a gig...?

A

“Garden Party” - Marillion

Q

Is there anything about the metal scene today that you would like to change?

A

Most of the bands.

Q

What do you think of the Preston/North West  metal scene right now?

A

It’s not generally forefront in our minds.

Q

What do you consider are the benefits of initiatives like Rock On Preston and Get In The Ring?

A

They bring passion and integrity to the local scene.

Q

What’s next for the band?

A

Personally? Lunch.
