HERD Interview
13. September 2019 21:28
K-Pop is the current shit with sold out concerts and increasing record sales all over the world. But what about K-Indie? Never heard of it? Well, maybe you should continue reading then.. We talked with Korean band HERD about everything you should know about a massively underrated music genre. „As you know, people take more time to understand songs in foreign languages and they don’t get its meaning directly; that’s exactly what I want. Hi guys, we’re glad to have you here! First of all

„Astrid, du musst echt wieder auf die Bühne, dann sieht alles wieder anders aus.“ Wir alle kennen den Kindheitstraum Sänger_in zu werden. Du hast daraus Realität werden lassen. Was ist deine Geschichte? Ich kann mich noch ziemlich genau daran erinnern, als meine Mama in unserem Wohnszimmer saß und im TV ein Konzert von Tina Turner ansah. Die Energie und Bühnenpräsenz hat mich damals so umgehauen, dass ich ab da „Rockstar“ werden wollte. Das steht übrigens auch in all den ausgefüllten

Tom Grennan spielte in seiner Jugend Vereinsfußball und hatte sogar die Möglichkeit professioneller Fußballer in den Staaten zu werden. Der britische Sänger entschied sich allerdings dagegen, um sich seiner Leidenschaft, der Musik, zu widmen. Mit „Lighting Matches“ ist vor kurzem nun das Debütalbum des Briten erschienen, der erste große Meilenstein. Als Tom Grennan sich dazu entschied, bei Luton Town F.C. auszusteigen, ahnte der Singer-/Songwriter noch nicht, wie sehr er das Fußball spielen mal

„I’d say it’s somewhere between >I just won the lottery< and >I might throw up<.“ How did you get into music? I’ve always loved music and always liked to sing, but I didn’t pick up the guitar until I was about 15. A good friend of mine also started playing then and we taught ourselves. We became a band that was basically a sort of wannabe Simon and Garfunkel thing and we played all the time. We even made a full length record when we were 17. You’re not a newbie in music business

„But it’s a little bit funny, it’s all a bit weird, right?“ It’s so nice to finally meet you and to see you play tonight. What are your feelings about the recent tour and the release of your btw phenomenal album? Yeah, well it’s really fun whenever you get to release an album that you had done for a long time, it’s a little weird though because you’ve spent all this time building up to something and then it’s just out and people can hear it. Yeah hopefully the feedback’s good and positive

Wie seid ihr zur Musik gekommen? Frederik: Also bei mir war das eigentlich so, dass ich auf irgendwelchen Kartons rum gehauen habe und dann hat mein Vater mich irgendwann zum Schlagzeuglehrer geschickt. Das war auch relativ früh, mit fünf oder so, glaube ich. Also mit Schlagzeug habe ich erst angefangen und die anderen Instrumente sind dann dazu gekommen. Ich spiele noch Gitarre und Klavier, das habe ich mir eigentlich selber beigebracht. Das Lustige ist, Finn, also der Gitarrist und ich sind Cousins

You created your own little republic Kadebostan, where does this idea come from? Kadebostany: I thought there were too many bands and I’ve started to search for a way to stand out from the mass. This idea came to me like thunder strike, all the concept with the uniform, the communication process, the aesthetic etc… Your first album had its release date in 2011, now 2017 there will be the second album. What can we expect and has the process of making an album changed through the years? Kadebostany

Mando Diao hatten nach dem Ausstieg von Sänger und Gitarrist Gustaf Norén die wohl mit Abstand schwierigste Zeit ihrer bisherigen Karriere. Nach 18 gemeinsamen Jahren entschied der Frontmann sich gegen die Band und ließ nicht nur Kollegen, sondern auch Freunde zurück. Dass die schwedische Rockband sich aber von so einem Rückschlag erholen kann, möchte sie jetzt mit ihrem neuen Album ‚Good Times‘ beweisen. Als Björn Dixgård und Daniel Haglund Mitte der 90er Jahre ihre erste Band Butlers

We got the chance to do an interview with Kieran Shudall and Joe Falconer – half of the incredible Circa Waves – in a small flat on Hamburg’s Reeperbahn where they played an accoustic set in a foreign bed for our friends of In Bed With… (you can watch it here and here). After this intimate sort of private concert we sat down on a very green couch and the whole mood was pretty comfy and relaxed. There’s always a lot gone missing of that mood when you write down an interview

Jede Band hat eine Geschichte – was ist Eure? Manchester Snow: Eigentlich ziemlich klischeemäßig: Drei musikbegeisterte junge Buben lernen sich durch die Schule kennen (oder sind sogar fast Nachbarn) und haben eines Tages dann die Idee eine Band zu gründen. Alles Weitere war eigentlich genau so, wie man es sich vorstellt oder es aus Filmen kennt: komische Frisuren, noch komischere Songs und so nahm dann eigentlich alles seinen Lauf. Irgendwann wurde alles dann professioneller und jetzt stehen

Your voice is absolutely stunning and seems well trained – did you have a professional education or is it just natural talent? Vérité: Thank you! I’ve recently started taking voice lessons to learn to control my voice better, but other than that I’ve figured out how to sing on my own. Your debut album ‚Somewhere In Between‘ will be released on June 23rd – What may we expect of it and what are you most excited about?

You have an amazing and clear voice. Did you grow up in a musically family or how did you get into music? Jordan: Thank you very much – Well, my mother likes to tell people that I could sing before I could actually talk, but my family was definitely musical, I used to watch her sing in church, wishing I could do the same thing. She’d also play gospel music from my country (Congo DR) at home all the time, as well as more contemporary artists that she liked such as Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson

You started with Gospel. How much influence does this still have? Far too much (laughs). Whenever I’m back home, I must play at my dad’s church. I still listen to it and I think it’s just a part of my faith so I’m just going to keep it. How did you get into music? Pretty much through the church. I was always being surrounded, even if I was not playing. I knew so many people that played music in the church band or that were interested in music. My dad would just play music

How did you get into music? Rationale: I think as a kid I grew up around music. I grew up the first eight years of my life in Zimbabwe, Harare in Africa and the first musical memory that I have is going to a part called Mbare which is basically in the sticks, which is out of the city where everybody is coming and going and we play different kinds of instruments. Like a box instrument which is called ‚Mbira‘ which is a box with metal reeds and I remember watching people do that. When

Yeah he stood up in front of the school and played “she’ll be coming round the mountain”, a kids song and from that I was just like “I wanna learn guitar” (laughs).

Aber eher locker und anders, eher Singer/Songwriter-mäßig und das haben wir so eineinhalb Jahre gemacht und dann haben wir uns überlegt, musikalisch doch in eine andere Richtung zu gehen.

Is Lola Marsh an allegory of a real person as it’s none of your names? We didn’t have a name for our duo for a really long time. When we wanted to advertise our first show we realized that we have to write something on the banner, right? We brainstormed for a few days and came up with a bunch of names, including “The Lost Penguin”, “One Night Zebra”, “The Dreamers”… I guess „Lola Marsh“ just sounds better. How did you get into music?

(laughs) Umm, the story behind is, as you can tell I’m very Spanish looking. My great-great-grandfather is from Spain. And he and his family came to Norway to buy fish and sell wine. But then he got really seasick. So they just left him in Bergen, which is the city where I’m from and they never came to pick him up again

Wenn man einmal auf der Bühne stand, egal ob vor 10 oder 10.000 Leuten, ist es danach sehr schwierig dieses Gefühl mit irgendetwas anderem zu vergleichen. Als I Heart Sharks Newbie muss ich die Frage stellen, bitte verzeiht mir: Warum eigentlich Haie und nicht Delfine? Und

Festivals can be fun but they’re also really tedious if that’s the only thing you do day after day after day. You’ve released ‘Specter at the Feast’ in 2013, which was a quieter

Hi Charlotte, I hope you’re doing fine today! Billy wrote and produced the new record. How was it for you to get introductions of your band mate? Billy was a great producer to work with! In general I really enjoyed this way of making an album, as I had a lot more time to work on what I wanted to do in each song. I think mainly, Billy just captured our live sound so well, which gave the record a great energy. How comes that you have so many singing parts in this new record? Was it your idea
