Gibt es ein besseres Trüffelschwein für neue Künstler als Dan Carey und sein Speedy Wunderground – Label? Black Country, New Road, Squid, The Lounge Society, Honeyglaze, O. oder English Teacher sind alle in den vergangen paar Jahren auf dem Londoner Label erschienen. Mit Heartworms, dem Projekt von Jojo Orme, hat Carey nun das nächste Juwel veröffentlicht – und seine stärkste Band seit Black Country, New Road gefunden. Die Debütveröffentlichung ist eine EP mit vier starken Songs, die sich zwischen Goth-beeinflußten Post-Punk und Dark Wave bewegen. Jojo Orme meldet sich damit als die interessanteste neue Stimme aus diesem Subgenre seit Jehnny Beth mit ihren Savages an.
* Your three favourite Punk singles/songs?
** The Clash – Janie Jones
** Killing Joke – Wardance
** Big Joanie – Fall Asleep
* A record that will make you dance?
The Shins – Wincing The Night Away
* Your favourite song lyrics?
I have way too many, but my favourite lyrics on The Shins album would be
‘And if you took to me like a
Gull takes to the wind
Well, I’d’ve jumped from my trees
And I’d’ve danced like the king of the eyesores
And the rest of our lives would’ve fared well’
* The best “new” artist / band right now?
The Last Dinner Party – I never knew I needed them until they released their new single ‘Nothing Matters’:
the vocals bring me to life
* Your favourite song about rebellion/revolution?
not going to lie but I had to look this up because I have no clue but I found ‘The times they are A-Changin’ by Bob Dylan – I love this track it reminds me of simple days of doing nothing but dreaming.
* Your favourite song this year so far?
I’ve been playing You Me At Six ‘Little Bit Of Truth’ on repeat for months because I used to listen to them a lot when I was 14
* Your favourite movie about music – and why?
“Begin Again” because that movies a feel-good movie with everything one needs. Also it used to help me motivate myself to go busking when I first started playing to public living in Cheltenham.
* Joy Division, Siouxsie & The Banshees or Elastica – which one do you prefer and why?
Joy Division because I know more of their songs and its more emotionally distressing, despressing some might say
* Your favourite cover artwork?
Amnesiac by Radiohead which is also my first ever tattoo I got on my arm!
* The best song you’ve ever written / recorded?
the one in my dreams
* Your favourite german song/record?
Grauzone – Eisbär
* Your favourite record of all time?
Turn On The Bright Lights by Interpol !!
