PART 1 - THE INTERVIEW
 
What is your earliest musical memory and what pushed you towards pursuing a career in the music business?
 
"I can recall receiving my first portable tape recorder at the age of six, together with a tape from Elvis Presley and another one with some hillbilly country and western music on it. From then on the fire was lit and it never stopped since. By watching those early seventies television shows, with chart-acts doing lip-sync, I became impressed with the idea of performing in front of people. This, and the music of the Beatles finally made me pick-up guitar lessons."
 
What kind of records were on around the house when you were younger and would you say that these records still influence your music today?
 
"Luckily, my parents had a good collection of sixties beat and rock records, and I was amazed not only by the music but also by the beautiful cover artwork. I remember hearing lots and lots of Beatles. There were also LP’s by The Who, Janis Joplin and The Rolling Stones. Apart from that they had 45’s from Jimi Hendrix ('Hey Joe'), Arthur Brown ('Fire') and some Pretty Things. This musical education definitely put me in a certain direction and has still a great impact on the music I do today."
 
Had you been involved in any other bands or musical ventures before The Royal Hangmen?
 
"I’ve played in a few bands before starting the Hangmen. The first being a Sisters Of Mercy-influenced gothic trio, then at the end the 80’s, as I was digging more and more into 60’s garage, I played guitar in The Vertical Drops, one of the few 80’s garage bands in Switzerland. But we’ve only released two tapes and never made it much further. Some years later I’ve started my first own band The Vicious Circle. With them I started singing and writing all the material for the first time. Despite releasing an album on CD, this group also didn’t make much of an impression and disbanded soon after the release. Then I took a very long break until the idea of forming a garage band came around..."
 
How did The Royal Hangmen begin?
 
 
"In the first place there was Roger (bass) and me. We had worked together as DJ’s for quite some time, and on one of those nights we thought it may be a good idea to play some of this stuff by our own. Our intention was just to fool around a bit, playing 60’s garage covers with no more than three chords, and having a good time. But a guitar and bass is not much of a band, so we watched out for a drummer and an organ player. Very quickly we found Christopher for the banging and completed the line up with Patrick on the organ. We spent quite a lot of time and money until we collected the right equipment together. It was clear for us that we need to have vintage gear to achieve the right sound. After our first gig, we were approached by some guys to record a demo. Strangely, when we put up that demo on MySpace, there were people from France and Greece becoming interested in our band which led to our first releases on compilations, playing abroad in France and finally to our first 7” on Greek label Lost In Tyme records."
 
Can you introduce us to the band and tell us what you play?
 
"The actual line up consists of Roger on bass, Patrick on the organ, Daniel on harmonica and percussion, Luca on drums, and me handling the vocal and guitar duties. Daniel was added to line up in 2009 after Christopher, our first drummer, left in the summer of 2011 to become our booking agent."
 
Where did the name The Royal Hangmen come from?
 
"When the British beat boom caused a stir in the USA, lots of these bands pretended to be English, just to survive. We liked the idea of being this Swiss band, doing their 'English thing'. As you know, we’ve never had it much with royals in our country but for us as a band the British music culture is, and always will be the main influence. And to have hangmen at your service, was a necessity at certain times in the past...wasn't it?"
 
How would you describe the sound of The Royal Hangmen?
 
"As I mentioned before, we are very strongly influenced by all kinds of British bands. We all love The Who, The Small Faces, The Kinks, The Troggs, The Beatles and The Stones and so on. And off course we dig The Jam, Oasis and many others. Then, there’s all the American garage stuff from the sixties, that draws us in, and we all have a strong addiction for R&B and soul, too. So, that’s all the elements you can hear to some degree in our music."
 
You have released one eponymous LP to date. The cover has quite a retro look to it harking back to the fifties and sixties. Was this the concept behind the artwork and why did you choose this particular shot?
 
"A record cover should in some way express what can be expected on the inside. And of course, we can be seen as a 'retro band', but I think we also have a contemporary element in our music. The photo of the band was meant to look like the early cover shots of those sixties beat bands."
 
The CD version of the LP features one cover track entitled ‘Bird Doggin’’. Where did you first hear this track and what pushed you into recording your own version?
 
"I discovered this track while searching for new stuff to play as a DJ. It amazed from the first listening, especially not knowing that Gene Vincent did such terrific stuff in the mid-sixties. I just knew his 50’s tunes until then. As a band, we started with just doing cover versions. There was no intention to write our own stuff. This has changed over the years, and we now play mostly our own songs. But we never stopped doing other peoples songs, because it’s fun and it is also a good exercise. When it came to choosing tracks for the album, we were working on 'Bird Doggin'', liked the way it sounded, then decided to include it."
 
The album also featured the two tracks from your double A-sided single, ‘Mary Jane’ / ‘You Better Tell That Girl’. What is ‘Mary Jane’ about and what influenced it?
 
"Musically, I wanted to do an up tempo garage rocker with a garage punk feel. The lyrics have a double meaning. You can think that it is about a wrecked love affair, or something else that has more to do with plants..."

 
What about ‘You Better Tell That Girl’?
 
"This one’s also about a love affair, which is about to end. But this time there’s a ray of hope. The guy in the song needs to be convinced to make up his mind and forgive her for being so cruel. I’m very happy with the twelve string jingle-jangle sound of this song, influenced by The Byrds and The Chesterfield Kings."
 
Your style of music has quite a retro edge to it but what are your views on the current music scene?
 
"As there is not much music in the last few years that can actually be called 'new', it seems like almost everything these days is in some ways sort of retro. Generally, everything with a good hook, nice guitars and decent songwriting turns me on. And occasionally there pops up a band here and there, that I really like."
 
Do you have any 'rituals' before you go on stage?
 
"No, we don’t. We just go out and play and beat the shit out of it."
 
Any live dates coming up?
 
"We are going to play with US-psych band The Warlocks in March, and we will come over to England for the very first time. So far, we are booked for the Trip Out Festival in Bedfordshire in September, and are now looking for other shows over there to make it a proper tour."
 
Any new songs in the pipeline?
 
"We are working on new songs, but nothing is finished yet. Since the release of the album, we’ve been playing a lot and did not have enough time to concentrate on the new stuff. Our plan is to finish the new songs in the summer, and then try them out live and eventually record them at the end of the year. We are a very slow working band and it always takes a lot of time until we have a song ready."

 
When can fans expect the next official release?
 
"The next project is already in the pipeline. We are doing an EP with cover versions of our favourite garage revival band’s of the 80’s. Recording is scheduled for March, the release will hopefully be before summer."
 
Who would be your dream collaboration?
 
"I would love to play some tunes with Noel Gallagher, one of the greatest songwriters alive."
 
Who would be in your dream super group?
 
"Otis Redding on vocals, Lou Reed on guitar, Steve Marriott on guitar and vocals, Paul McCartney on bass, Kenny Jones on drums and Booker T. Jones on the organ."

THE REAL ME: Our interview with West London three piece The Modern Means!

 
Below is our interview with The Modern Means, a mod-influenced indie band from West London! Enjoy!
 
To stay up to date with future interviews like our facebook page at the following link - https://www.facebook.com/aldorabritainrecords
 
 
PART 1 - THE INTERVIEW
 
What is your earliest musical memory and what pushed you towards pursuing a career in the music business?
 
Tim: "My brothers sitting around our dad (who was also in bands), playing 'Yellow Submarine' on the acoustic guitar he made, wanting that to be my job. Grew tired of the nine to five some years ago."
 
Louis: "Similar to Tim, my first memories are watching my brother Alex and dad play guitar in the kitchen. Before then it was just staring at record covers. I got round to learning guitar about sixteen and hassled my brother to show me a few chords. Once I could string a couple together, that was it. All I wanted to be was a musician."
 
Sean: "Watching 'Tommy' and seeing The Fureys in Ireland."
 
What kind of records were on around the house when you were younger and would you say that these records still influence your music today?
 
Sean: "The Who, Ramones, Eddie Cochran, I think these have influenced me and are still some of my favourite artists."
 
Louis: "In the kitchen there would be everything from Motown, Otis Redding, Bowie, The Jam, Kinks, Dusty Springfield, Crosby, Still & Nash to opera and classical. Apart from the classical side, all those bands and records influenced me greatly and is still some of my favourite stuff to listen to."
 
Tim: "Not so much records playing, but always had the radio on in the background growing up. This defiantly influenced my musical tastes as I still listen to Capital Gold/Gold music to this day and have a wide spectrum of musical taste."
 
Had you been involved in any other bands or musical ventures before The Modern Means?
 
Sean: "Yep played in a few bands of various types."
 
Tim: "I've been in bands for years. My three brothers all play guitar, so I picked up the sticks."
 
Louis: "I’ve played in bands, on sessions and sporadically working as a solo performer since my teens. The main band I was in for many years was the Lieutenant’s Mistress from Brighton."
 
How did The Modern Means begin?
 
Louis: "I was in a band called Hands Make Fire, which came to an end and I found myself with about six or seven songs which I wanted to do something with. I had met Sean and he said his mate was a drummer (Tim) and we set about working on them. Didn’t have any pre-planned idea just decided to let the tunes dictate. In the end we naturally became a band as we’re all around the same age and have a lot of shared influences. We thought about adding extra musicians but the three piece setup really worked and suited the material."
 
Can you introduce us to the band and tell us what you play?

Louis: "I play guitar and sing, Sean is on bass and backing vocals and Tim drums and does backing vocals."
 
Where did the name The Modern Means come from?

Louis: "Loads of bands at the moment seem to just have one word for a name. So we wanted something short and with a 'The'. We really liked ‘The Means’ but there were too many bands called that. We settled on The Modern Means as a way of getting round that, but also cause it had a nice ring to it. It also seems to fit in with the lyrical content of some of the songs which draws from modern day observations."
 
How would you describe the sound of The Modern Means?

Louis: "Melodic, powerhouse indie combo."
 
You have released one EP to date. You released this as a free download. In the age of illegal downloads do you think this way of releasing music may be the way forward for up and coming guitar-based bands?

Sean: "I think music should foremost be accessible and this is the best way for us to get it to the people that matter, albums are a great way to showcase your art and style but I think people will get an album if they can first get a feel for the music."

Tim: "I think its the only way, isn't it? if you want to get out there and heard. Shame because there is a lot of crap to be sieved through."

Louis: "For us it was just initially so we could get some gigs. I’m not against free downloads as such, however I think it does slightly de-value what you do as a musician. I think if you’re a new band it’s very hard because no one has heard of you so you wanna spread the word."
 
We at AB Records are really enjoying the EP especially the lead track entitled ‘The Real Me’. What is this song about and what influenced it?

Louis: "It's essentially about different events happening in around your life and how this affects you. Does it change you? Have you changed and do you still recognise the person and ideals that you set yourself in life? Just raising the age old questions."
 
Are you a fan of The Who song of the same name!?

Tim: "Definitely."

Sean: "Brilliant song and at a great part of a great film, almost as good as 'Bell Boy'."

Louis: "Cracking tune! For our 'Real Me', I wrote the chorus last and wanted to change it once I thought of something better. However it just worked so nicely that it became part of it. Title aside though it has nothing to do with The Who song."
 
The EP on the whole seems to have a strong pop edge to it. Is this what you were aiming for?

Louis: "Not intentionally. We didn’t really know how we sounded and that is pretty much just how it came out. It was recorded live with vocals and a few guitar bits done later. I think having now done some gigs we are perhaps a bit heavier, but essentially we are aiming to do intelligent pop music with guitars."
 
Do you have any 'rituals' before you go on stage?

Sean: "Trying to adhere to the two pint rule..."
 
Any live dates coming up?

Louis: "Yeah, we’re supporting The Bishops at The Finsbury on Saturday the 8th of February. We also have a gig at the Camden Enterprise on 4th March as part of End of The Trail records showcase."
 
Any new songs in the pipeline?

Tim: "Yes."

Louis: "Got one that’s nearly done called ‘My Own Worst Enemy’ and I’ve got a few more in home demo form. So yes plenty more to come."
 
When can fans expect the next official release?

Louis: "ASAP – we have been in contact with a couple of labels who want to do something with us, so just a case of working out what format it will take. Watch this space..."
 
Who would be your dream collaboration?

Louis: "Dunno really, love to do something with a horn section at some point."
 
Who would be in your dream super group?

Louis: "Reni (The Stone Roses) on drums, Paul Simonon on bass, Johnny Marr on guitar and Paul Weller on vocals and guitar. Maybe also stick Ian McLagan on keyboards and the Memphis horns. Staple Singers on backing vocals."

Sean: "Bruce Foxton of The Jam on bass, Stevie Wonder singing, Hal Blaine on drums, Eddie Cochran on guitar and hair and Josh Homme for extra guitar and vocals Shangri Las on backing."

IF I WASN'T ME: Our feature on Little Liam's latest EP 'If I Wasn't Me'!

 
Below if our feature on Little Liam's latest offering, the 'If I Wasn't Me' EP! You can see our review of the EP alongside a track by track from Liam and some excerpts of an interview we did with him last year! Enjoy!
 
To stay up to date with future interviews like our facebook page at the following link - https://www.facebook.com/aldorabritainrecords
 
 
PART 1 - AB SAYS...
 
Here, AB Records reviews the EP!
 
"Little Liam have already released an acoustic live album ('Live From The Heart') and a demo EP ('The Beginning'), the former features just two guitars and a voice while the latter features just a piano and a voice. This makes 'If I Wasn't Me' the first full band offering from Birmingham's very own Little Liam and the presence of the rest of the band add double to the final sound. This is saying something as the two acoustic offerings to date are mind blowing. The EP can easily draw comparisons to the likes of The Bluetones, Oasis and especially Ocean Colour Scene. This is no surprise considering frontman Liam Garland was effectively mentored by the OCS boys and there are tales that he played tambourine on the Liam Gallagher/Steve Cradock recording of 'Carnation' when he was just a teenager. However, Liam's songwriting stands out and covers a wide variety of styles - the rock 'n' roll of 'Last Dragz' and 'I Get This Feeling'; the folk rock of 'You Don't Know' and 'Just When I Thought' and the smooth rock of the eponymous title track 'If I Wasn't Me'. Highlights are definitely the two opening tracks 'I Get This Feeling' and 'Last Dragz' as they are simply amazing rock 'n' roll tunes which, at the end of the day, you can't beat. However, the remaining three tracks all have special qualities as well and there is not one weak track on the EP. Also, congratulations have to go to Ange Pyatt for the trumpet and background vocals on the final track 'Just When I Thought' which take the track to a whole different level to the previously released version on 'Live From The Heart'. The only disappointment is the fact that the EP clocks in at less than fifteen minutes! However, we can all be reassured that Little Liam have plenty of unreleased material much of which can be checked out in demo or live format at their soundcloud page. Keep on keeping on Little Liam!"
 
 
PART 2 - LITTLE LIAM SAYS...
 
Here, we catch up with frontman Liam Garland who talks us through the EP track by track!
 
I Get This Feeling
 
"Wrote this song after my second gig! I supported Pyro's ex-band Copious in Birmingham and this gig and meeting Jim made me feel so great!"
 
Last Dragz
 
 "Sorry I wrote this while I was smoking loads of weed but I gave it up and  try to just test it moderately!"
 
You Don't Know
 
"About trying to do something your or my own way, and one of the first proper decent songs I wrote!"
 
If I Wasn't Me
 
"Personal song really and weird because I was going through a tough time and  things play on your mind, I was worrying too much about what people thought and basically looking in from the outside I'd be able to see what that was but only 'if I wasn't me'!"
 
Just When I Thought
 
"Was really just a tune I made at home and never thought nothing of until Jim was certain it had to be in our set, the first night I showed him his hairs were standing on end! Then Ange joined the band and added to it so much it's now kinda expected at gigs!"
 
 
PART 3 - THE INTERVIEW
 
How did Little Liam begin?
 
"Little Liam began years after my previous band ended. I was recording all my music at home and learning all the instruments to be able to make it sound like a band rather than on my own, we had problems with the last band and people left so it pushed me back a little bit, I went home and over the next couple of years went on to write most of the songs which we now play at our gigs!"
 
How would you describe the sound of Little Liam?
 
"We have tried to figure this one out ourselves because it's kind of unique but again we go with smooth rock."
 
Earlier this year you were joined on stage by Simon Fowler of Ocean Colour Scene. How did this come about and how did it feel to be playing alongside a true legend?
 
"Amazing! Absolutely amazing! It's a weird one, Ocean Colour Scene were supposed to be playing in Scotland but unfortunately got cancelled and Simon saw us listed in the line up for Welfest so he contacted the organiser to ask me if he could join for a couple of songs! Wow! Ideally again, it would have been him joining the band onstage but it was all so quick we didn't prepare for it and if you have someone like Simon Fowler joining you, you have to be on form!"

TELL ME: An interview with Billy from mod/punk band The Spitfires!

 
Below is our interview with Billy Sullivan from the mod/punk band The Spitfires.
 
To stay up to date with future interviews like our facebook page at the following link - https://www.facebook.com/aldorabritainrecords
 
 
 
PART 1 - THE INTERVIEW
 
What was your earliest musical memory and what pushed you towards pursuing a career in the music industry?
 
"My earliest music memory was probably Oasis on Top Of The Tops playing 'Wonderwall'. I think it was the guitars, attitude and clothes that made me think 'that's what I want to do'. So when it came to the time when I was old enough, I started learning guitar at school and it just progressed from there really."
 
What sort of records were played around the house when you were younger and did these records have an influence on your songwriting?
 
"I was brought up on Weller, Ocean Colour Scene etcetera as it was what my old man was into. The Beatles were also a massive thing. They definitely do have a massive influence on my songwriting, you're music collection is almost like you're roots - it's how you build on it which is what makes it your own."
 
Had you been involved in any other band prior to The Spitfires?
 
"Nope."
 
Can you introduce the band and tell us what everybody plays?
 
"You have me - Billy on guitar, vocals and songwriter; Matt Johnson on drums and Sam Long on bass and vocals."
 
How did The Spitfires begin?
 
"The Spitfires began when I was eleven, but prior to meeting Sam and Matt it was just kids mucking around. We met up in the pub and decided that was it. Sorry it's not more interesting!"
 
Where did the name The Spitfires come from?
 
"My old man came up with it I think and I was obsessed with modernism and targets at the time so I liked it."
 
How would you describe the sound of The Spitfires?
 
"I'm not sure really. Youthful frustration maybe?"
 
You are obviously hugely influenced by mod bands, specifically The Jam – everything right down to a guitar/bass/drums trio. Would you say that The Jam are a big influence and was it intentional to end up with a similar band composition to them?
 
"Yes they're a big influence on me but doesn't mean I want to be Weller or anything. We're a three piece because it works better. We don't feel the need to have another guitarist or keyboardist or whatever. The Jam are as much influence on the band as The Specials or Arctic Monkeys."
 
You, as a band, are always well turned out. Would you say that style is as important as the music for The Spitfires?
 
"Well the style is a personal thing really. The bands we're into have the full package which is why we take the look seriously."
 
You clearly are hugely influenced by the mod movement. Do you consider yourselves to be a mod band?
 
"No not at all. Personally I consider myself a mod but we're definitely not a mod band. We don't like to be pigeon holed or labelled as we're into all sorts of things."
 
Your latest single is entitled ‘Tell Me’ – a great modern punk rock song. What is the song about and what influenced it?
 
"The song is about teenage drug abuse. At the time I wrote the song, legal drugs were a massive part of young peoples social lives - yet as they were legal no one knew what they were taking."
 
Do you have any 'rituals' before you go on stage?
 
"Nah we normally just have a couple of beers, a fag then play."
 
Any live dates coming up?
 
"Loads of live dates lined up, we're on tour from February onwards. All up on the website."
 
Any new songs in the pipeline?
 
"We are releasing a new single in March."
 
When can fans be expecting the next release?
 
"New single in March."
 
 Who would be your dream collaboration?
 
"I'm not sure really. Never thought about working with anyone else."
 
Who would be in your dream supergroup?
 
"Small Faces are my 'supergroup'."
 
PART 2 - THE QUICKFIRE ROUND
 
Favourite Beatle?
 
"Lennon."
 
Favourite band?
 
"The Jam."
 
Favourite new band?
 
"Currently Dexters."
 
Favourite song?
 
"I can never answer this question as it changes everyday!"
 
Favourite album?
 
"All Mod Cons."
 
Vinyl, CD or download?
 
"Vinyl all day long."
 
Style icon?
 
"Steve Marriott or Terry Hall."
 
Favourite clothing brand?
 
"Fred Perry."
 
Favourite film?
 
"Clockwork Orange."
 
Favourite TV show?

"I'd never wish for there to be a film about my life."
 
Favourite food?
 
"Indian food."
 
Football team?
 
"Don't support football!"
