Wedding Present- an in-depth interview with indie legends - Louder Than War

David Gedge:

Well I think the current band actually do Seamonsters better than the original line up. There’s no baggage or having to worry about being originally on it. It’s just timing really, there’s been quite a few changes and this Wedding Present is certainly rockier than what you may have seen four years ago or so.

 

He's not wrong. The current lineup is exceptional.

Last night's show at Cambridge was the best I've ever heard those songs. 

The Wedding Present's 'Seamonsters' tour ends this week. It is my favourite album of all time and the band play it entirely, in sequence, at these shows. I'm going to see them again tomorrow in Camden. If you can, you should too.

"Record Labels are run by deviants. Moral vacuums in mid-priced suits" - DiS meets Martin Rossiter f / In Depth // Drowned In Sound

Martin Rossiter:

I challenge you to name a better collection of songs released by anyone in the last two years. That was the aim, I knew I needed to come back with something brilliant. I’ve been writing music for 30 years and if I am not making a record that I consider to be my favourite record in the world then I’m failing in my craft. I should be able to write a record that personally I love more than any other. I can’t think of another I like as much, I don’t think that’s an arrogant thing, I think it’s me finally being pretty good at what I want to achieve. It drives me insane, I want to break peoples noses when I hear people say they don’t listen to their own songs. Why would you make it then? I remember Ian Brown saying he was the best singer in the world to much derision, and I totally support him in that, I think you need that.

I first heard songs from this album 18 months ago at the Bloomsbury Theatre. The debut album is out next week. Can't wait.

Decided i'm going to go through every cereal EVER made & give an in depth analysis & ratings on each 1,quest 2 find the greatest cereal!

This needs to be done properly! Who the cereal best suits, what time of day does it best react to the palate! #cerealquest

Fair test must be applied! 1. Same type of milk! (semi-skimmed) 2. same bowl & spoon! NOTE TO SELF, must not be biased towards old favs!

A lot of people already trying to sway my decisions before iv'e started! THIS is going to be the greatest experiment mankind has witnessed!
