This is a band that we are labeling “the heaviest alternative band that we have ever heard of” and that is not a label we give out lightly. When you hear an artist that is able to create a smooth flow and a groove that has a pop element, with nods to grunge and British punk all the way through, while throwing in some nasty unclean vocals, you know how eclectic and inviting it truly can be.
But how can an artist that takes so many influences and so many risks create something so eclectic that it not only succeeds with the masses, but is something that is believable as the real thing… because it is the real thing. Well, we have the artist that pulled it off on the podcast today, and here we are, bringing them to you.
Luke and Jake from the UK band unpeople join the Chord Progression Podcast as they are right about to release their debut album “we are unpeople” on October 9th. Since we called them “the heaviest alternative band that we have ever heard of,” let’s get you into them as we talk about:
- Why unpeople are not worried about the release of their debut album, as they have learned from previous experiences what to expect, and having the confidence in the music that they have created.
- The importance of having fun while writing music and playing live, & why unpeople try to make their live show as real as possible.
- Creating the sound on “we are unpeople” where no preconceived sound started any song, all created by the guys just writing what they found fun, with a common British punk rock delivery.
