Hey all,
Here's an interview I got to conduct with Richard Gill from the band of Religion of Tomorrow. Read on to find out how they met, what their messages and themes are in their song and also where you can buy their album 'In Theory'. You can check out their music video down below. Here's the questions and answers that Richard emailed me:
How did you guys meet one another?
Line Up: Karl Christian - Vocals, Jordan Charters - Guitars, Richard Gill - Bass, David Kavanagh - Drums.
Karl (Vocals) and Jordan (Guitar) were already part of the incarnation of Religion Of Tomorrow when i was approached to come in and play Bass, i was working with Karl at the time, various comings and goings have taken place since; mainly in the drums department.
How was the band name created?
Like i mentioned Religion of Tomorrow was a band in the working, after the majority of the original ideas and personnel disappeared, leaving Jordan as the only member from that time, we thought rather than change the name we would give it an identity. Each band member probably explains it slightly different but the idea is the same, Religion of Tomorrow is the idea that the modern world is obsessed with media, technology, celebrity and product )Mcdonalds, Apple, One Direction and the likes of X-Factor for example), hence a sort or religion of tomorrow?
How would you describe the music that your band creates?
We have had people try and pigeon hole us and liken us to other acts, but they are very varied attempts and none have ever stuck, so we go with alternative rock.
What are some of the themes and messages that come across in your songs?
We have been described as "thoughtful" in the press, this came from the lyrical content on subjects such as religion, war, depression, self harm, murder, take your pick, though you would have to talk to Karl to get anything more.
What are your plans for 2015?
We have quite a few shows taking us until new year including 2 festival performances in one day, our aim will be to release something before next summer, whether that will be a couple of EP's or a follow up to 'In Theory' we will have to wait and see?
Where can people find you on social media?
We are pretty much everywhere, Facebook, twitter, istagram etc
Finally, if there was only one album that you could listen to for the rest of your life which one would you choose and why?
I'm going to go for Temple of the Dog, its a complete album and pretty much genreless and Timeless!
Our debut album 'In Theory' is available from all the usual online stores, CD's are available on our big cartel page.
Thanks to Richard for answering the questions. If any bands want to contact me then email me at rachelcolley@msn.com and I'll get back to you with the questions.
Hope to talk to you soon,
Rachel.
