Interview: Bloody Knees

I caught up with exciting new band Blood Knees, here is the interview:

Where and when did the band meet? 
"Sam and Brad met in primary School, da lolly man met the guys at Secondary School and Tom's known da lolly man all his life."
Can you describe the bands sound? 
"It's like so close to being so good." 
What were your main musical influences when growing up? 
"I think really boring stuff like Metallica, Queens of the Stone Age and Alkaline Trio. da lolly man really liked HIM."
Do you have a favourite venue to perform at? 
"ermmmmmmmmm one in Leeds. I can't remember what it was called. The venue was downstairs below a really nice restaurant. We got free food from the restaurant y'see. Underground Leeds Restaurant Venue." (The Wardrobe?)
Can you describe the song writing process for the band? 

Stitches EP

"We now all sit in a room together and someone will have an idea. That idea gets hijacked by someone else and then someone else until we all disagree on the direction it tends to go... Then we take stuff away, de-clutter it and it kinda becomes a song." 
How did the bands relationship with Birdskulls form? 
"We had some songs recorded, they had some songs recorded. Art is Hard proposed we put out a split, we did. We met on the first night of the tour that was put together for the split and became best friends." 
Do you have any advice for someone who's looking to start a band? 
"Just do what you feel is right, not what someone else thinks."
What's next for the band? 
"We're sleeping on some mega hits at the moment, they're mental. Just gotta wait for the right time to put them out."
