Where can we find you right now and what are you up to?
We are releasing our sophomore album, “Noisserped”, on 25 Aug which will be up for streaming
over on Spotify, Apple Music and wherever you like. The physical release of the vinyl will be
made available to purchase on our Bandcamp platform. The release will be accompanied by a
stunning music video of the song, “Electrified”, taken from the album - a dark, unconventional
track but yet captivating all at the same time.
Tell us a bit about your influences.
We’re all driven by the sound of the 90s but also lots of timeless post punk and British indie
acts. You can hear infuences from bands like Slowdive, Joy Division, New Order, Editors and
Primal Scream.
How did you start?
From a husband-wife duo in Malaysia, Troy and Selene, to an international ensemble in Sydney
including Serena, Brendan, and Chase, our music journey evolved. Along the way, we crossed
paths with music industry talents, amplifying our exposure and enriching our sonic tale.
How will artists be influenced by the rapid change in technology in the future in your opinion?
What will change?
Our hearts lean toward the vintage approach - how music is discovered is exceptionally special
and personal. Live music was where people uncovered bands and music, untouched by online
prominence. Nowadays, the landscape is molded by the hand of social media, where personal
connections fade. The rapport with fans, listeners, and the press becomes pixelated. Artists find
themselves entrusting screens to cultivate engagement and virtual presence, as the digital
realm reigns supreme.
What obstacles does an emerging artist have to face in our time?
The spotlight often fixates on social media metrics for venues, organizers, record labels, and
prominent press. Countless gifted artists remain hidden, their absence from physical arenas and
industry interactions hindering their rise, a scenario that's even more complex for Asian talents.
Independent artists carry a heavy burden, investing significant toil to amplify their music and
band's presence, yet frequently encountering minuscule outcomes. Moreover, challenges stem
from financial considerations, as venues demand fees, and the resulting ticket sales struggle to
offset expenses linked to the event.
In what way, in your opinion, could someone get real fans?
Keeping social media active and play more gigs. Also, strive to gain more attention and market
the band to online music press.
What are your goals? Where do you see yourself in five years?
Never stop gaining more listeners and followers from any part of the world. Perhaps, getting a
record deal and a management contract would make a great deal too.
What is your favorite movie? What would you suggest to our readers?
Richard Linklater trilogy - “Before Sunrise”, “Before Sunset” and “Before Midnight”. It’s a story
about the reality of love, pain, human relationships and passion.
Tell us about your latest or upcoming release.
The album's themes revolve around the human experience, with songs that touch on love, loss,
and finding meaning in a seemingly bleak world. "Noisserped" showcases a canvas of
remarkable vocal prowess, intricate guitar work, and lots of relentless rhythm sections. The
album is both deeply personal and universally relatable, with songs that range from
introspective to anthemic. We can’t wait for the listeners to hear it!
