In a similar way to how Alexisonfire throw vocals around, we wanted it to be more like that live. Sean (Long, guitar) started doing vocals and got really into writing hook lines. This Is The Six was the more metal record, Brainwashed was a bit more punk rock record, and this one we wanted to bring in other band members singing. Loz: “Each album that While She Sleeps have done has been different. You Are We isn’t as heavy as previous While She Sleeps albums. It’s nice to have that friendship group again.” It’s nice that we can all get on with it now and get on with being mates and having a good time.
It’s not always been plain sailing between the two groups of people, but you get over that stuff. It was nothing mental, just every now and again things got a bit weird and it’s nice to be able to turn it around. There’s been a few ups and over the past years, but nothing crazy, and I think that we can sweep it under the rug a little bit, turn away from things that have happened in the past, build relationships and tour with the band.
I loved how they managed to balance the old school influences that made the metalcore/hardcore – whatever you wanna call it – so good in the first place, with something new and fresh, and accessible.”įrom the outside, it felt like there was always some animosity between While She Sleeps and Bring Me The Horizon? Oli: “It really did blow me away, and I find it incredibly difficult to find anything in the heavy rock scene that excites me any more. What was your reaction when you heard the new While She Sleeps record? I try to inject that into my local area to feel a part of something and make a difference to people’s lives who want to get involved in music.” I put shows on for bands that can come in and influence people, like I was when I saw Kasabian play our local bar in front of 80 people. In a community sense, when I’ve got some spare time I focus on the community I grew up in that shaped my musical interests. Loz: “I don’t get too involved in protests as such, I tend to hold back and keep it for a musical thing. The unity vibe is something While She Sleeps has always had, it came out in Brainwashed and poured onto this album a little bit.”ĭo you get involved in any kind of protests or community activity? Our live shows try to encompass unity with everyone, we want everyone to have a great time and be a part of something cool. The song itself reflects that whole feeling with some personal emotion and trying to bring back a sense of unity to everyone. I don’t know if that’s always been the case, but when you’re watching the news it’s always pushing doom and gloom like you’re on the edge of existence in a hopeless kind of way. When you’re walking round trying to take things in, you realise that everything feels like it’s on the edge of something weird. “Another thing that comes into it is a real Earthly feeling. I think people like to whinge about the way things are done but aren’t willing to reach out and change anything. Like when we say ‘Your silence speaks volumes’ people can’t expect anything to be changed if nobody’s going to make any effort to change it, or work toward that change.
Loz: “With things like Brexit being fresh in everyone’s mind and still being up in the air, people have a lot of different views on different topics. The new album You Are We is very defiant and rebellious.
#Oli oli idupe song cracked#
It felt a bit cheeky fucking with someone else’s song, but luckily the guys loved it so I cracked on with the rest of the lyrics for my part and Bob’s your uncle!”
I made a quick sloppy edit on Logic as Loz’s lyric ‘Where is your heart’ gave me the inspiration for the lyric ‘I think the silence speaks volumes’, and I thought it would be cool to illustrate the line with an actual dead stop in the song. Oli: “For the part I sing on, I suggested a change in the structure. How much input did you have on writing Silence Speaks?
