And their eyes were bloodshot

Almost 3 years ago I was setting up a magazine with my best friend. One of my assignments was interviewing And their eyes were bloodshot. Since the magazine never got off and the interview never got published, I thought it would be nice to put up here. Please keep in mind the interview dates from early 2007, it be may a bit out of date.

For the Belgian folks who don't know you guys; let's give a little introduction!

hey! we're and their eyes were bloodshot (pask, zach, sean and jake) from worksop, england!

On the last tour we heard some new songs, are there any plans for a new EP/CD?

yeah we'll be recording an EP over the next few months that will be released on smalltown records (penknife lovelife, flood of red etc) around august time.

What bands had the most influence on your music?

although we all have a varied taste in music and genre's as a collective i guess we would say Norma Jean, The Chariot, Misery Signals and bands such as this.

You do have a busy tour-schedule. What do you miss most when on the road?

well without speaking for the whole band i guess it'd be a good nights sleep :P and girlfriends and friends back home that can't all come on the road with us.

Is there any difference between the audience here and in the UK?

yeah the audiences in belgium are alot different to that of the UK. the belgian audience seems to have time for all the bands playing and has respect for the bands a bit more than in the UK. unless you're known in the UK its hard to get a good show.

Although you’re not on a label, you’ve got a solid fan base here in Belgium. How does that feel?

well we have now signed to smalltown records. but the fact that we have been over to belguim three times unsigned and had such a massive response has been amazing to us. we love playing over there and cant wait to come back!!

In may you’ll be playing Treasurefest, sharing stage with bands like Across five aprils. Are you excited about that?

the treasurefest show should be amazing. number one because it has an amazing lineup, number two because we get to travel to sweden and play there and number three we get to hang out with our awesome friends in penknife lovelife again!

Bring me the horizon - Suicide season: Cut up

So, yesterday Bring me the horizon finally released Suicide season: Cut up, a remix of their latest full-length. At first I was a bit sceptical about it, thinking it was going to be another "let's put some drum&bass beats to that song and call it a remix" but already the first track proves me wrong. It's more like the opposite, a few small artists produced songs and in their songs they used shreds of Bring me the horizon's songs. There is also a difference between the songs, they don't sound all the same. A big plus (personally then): Bring me the horizon worked with quite underground artists instead of the big ones, so they get a chance to proof their-selfs. Bottom line, if you're into partying and you like Suicide season then this cd is a big recommendation!
