Interview with ransom note
Today ransom note has reviled to THE PULSE
the official announcement of their new album after front man Rick Crash’s
five-month stay in rehab after battling with his addiction to Chrystal meth. ‘The
first song we will be releasing is a song I wrote in rehab called a halo in my
clutches, it describes the nights in my room in rehab and how I found God and
how he helped me get over my addiction’.
The new album has 13 singles and features
bring me the horizon and Enter Shikari. The band planned to release their album
in July but then agreed that it was too close to Reading and Leeds festival and
cant be focusing on two things at once ‘ Reading and Leeds is the first live
gig we’ve played since I got out of rehab I want it to best the best
performance we’ve ever done and I plan to put all effort into it’. Ransom note
where one of the first bands to be announced to play at reading and Leeds witch
had a great response by fans with a 10% increase on sales to the last day of
the event (when ransom note is playing). Fans are hyped about the return of
these new age rock Gods with over 100,000 people preordering the new album.
Ransom note is hoping their album will go platinum in the first few months of
its release ‘I have no worries about the sales of our album its killer stuff,
the thing that worries me the most is playing on stage in front of thousands of
people, I still get stage fright’. The rest of the band members are looking
forward to returning to showbiz ‘the rest of us just worked on creating music
to go along with ricks new songs, we’ve all worked really hard on this comeback
hopefully the fans appreciate our new album like we do’. The band are hoping to
take America by storm after their tour of the UK and Ireland there non stop
touring for the next two years and there even going to The Big day out and pukkelpop
in mid 2014. So it looks like the boys will be busy for a while.
Q&A
1Q.What was it like writing most of your
songs in rehab?
1A. I know this sounds weird but the unbearable
long nights kind of inspired me in writing most of my songs, one of the nurses
suggested that while I was going through the withdrawal I write down my
thoughts so after a few weeks of doing this I was able to compose lyrics out of
my thoughts so this album and these songs really mean a lot to me.
2Q. is the new album as heavy as the last
few albums?
2A. If by heavy you mean angry loud in your
face death metal music than yes its x10’s more brutal than the first two
albums.
3Q. What was the most bizarre thing to
happen to you on stage?
3A. This one time in a show in America this
guy threw a live fighting cockerel on stage and it started killing the big ass
amplifier on stage we continued playing while the cockerel was in a mini
mosh-pit.
4Q.What is your advice for future
musicians ?
4A. I advise any up and comeing new artist
to find there own style and keep to it try and get inspiration from the bands
you like but don’t copy there style.
