Interview: Me vs Hero
February 17, 2010
Fresh from touring with Breathe Carolina, Faye recently caught up with Me vs Hero during their rescheduled, and practically sold out, headline show in Newcastle. We got chatting to the Preston popcore kings about all sorts, including, details regarding their forthcoming debut album, hopes to become a full-time band, and Ross’s Spotify premium account, as well as a whole lot more!
Faye: Can you say your name and what you do in the band?
Ross: I’m Ross and I play guitar.
Sam: I’m Sam, and I sing.
Mike: I’m Mike and I play bass.
Oli: I’m Oli and I play drums.
Pook: I’m Poor and I play guitar.
Faye: You’ve just been on tour with Breathe Carolina, how was that?
Sam: Very weird, it was full of 14-year-old crunk kids, but it was great, those guys are awesome, so accommodating.
Faye: What do you make of the whole crunkcore genre?
Sam: I think we’re a bit too old for it, you know when you’re young and genres come in and stuff, and everyone gets into it? I think we’re probably past it. I mean, I don’t mind it, it’s not my favourite style of music, we’re mostly into pop-punk.
Faye: Were you well received on that tour?
Sam: Yeah, to be fair, from what we saw, they were. They were really, really nice.
Mike: Yeah, we’re such a different band, we expected them to be, “What the hell is this?” with our beatdowns and stuff, but they seemed pretty into it, it was good.
Sam: Totally, it was kind of weird for us, but the guys were really nice and Lights and Sounds, the guys who were openers, they were really nice guys, got on with them so well. Shows like London, we’ve had a hard time in London, previously, like a lot of bands do, but London went down a storm, the kids loved it.

Live Review: Me vs Hero – O2 Academy 2, Newcastle, February 6th 2010
February 11, 2010
After rescheduling a show from last month due to a clash with pop rockers Twenty Twenty downstairs, Me vs Hero have had but a fortnight to shift as many tickets as they can, and it’s clear to see by the ever-growing crowds outside, that they’ve succeeded. Tonight looks set to be an all-out popcore showdown…

Feature: The State Of The North East ‘Scene’
June 6, 2009Looking at the crop of new British talent in what is, essentially, rock bands, across the land, there’s some real gems hidden away in there; where were You Me At Six all but three years ago? Playing to a handful of people in local bars night after night in their native Surrey.
The same goes for the Welsh vallies, which have spawned the likes of Attack! Attack!, Kids In Glass Houses, Save Your Breath, and such, in recent years. Every area in the UK seems to have a real promise coming from them, in the form of one band or another. Brighton these days, is somewhat of a haven for rock, punk and metal bands, with acts like The Ghost Of A Thousand, Johnny Truant, and The Crave among others to come from the seaside town.
But getting really local, there is one place that in my honest opinion, really lacks in new talent in rock, pop punk, metal, punk, you guessed it, the North East.

Live Review: Slam Dunk Festival, Leeds Uni, May 24th 2009 (Faye)
May 28, 2009
After spending hours in the sweltering heat, harassing bands and folk in the queue for on-the-spot interviews, as well as handing out D.I.Y. changetherecord.net ‘business cards’ in the form of notepad paper written in biro, accumulating some attractive sun burn and getting fat off essential pre-gig food (Morrison’s mini-doughnuts) along the way, 3pm finally arrived and doors opened. Holy run-on sentence.

Live Review: Slam Dunk Festival, Leeds Uni, May 24th 2009 (George)
May 28, 2009
People have literally camped overnight for this one, Slam Dunk is bigger than ever, expanding to 6 stages and a DJ set bar now, and this one is packed out with lots of different colours, (and bands mingling in and out, Sean Smith of the Blackout’s hair sticks out like a sore thumb) and the excitement is ecstatic as people rush to their chosen stages for the day.
