Fazia um certo tempo que os ingleses não aportavam por aqui, mas a ausência enfim foi suprida em grandioso retorno.
De Newcastle, o quinteto Waves of Dread pega suas guitarras e as direciona ao paraíso. Com a benção de Neil Young e J. Mascis aliada a um lirismo e inclinação ao pop, cortesia da influència dos irmãos Paddy e Martin McAloon, pra quem não sabe os fundadores do Prefab Sprout, o Waves of Dream moldou seus dois primeiros singles neste ambiente.
A sedutora e viciante "In Your Mind" e "Flying" são os cartões de visita de uma banda a ser acompanhada desde o início.
Lembre-se, Waves of Dread e das guitarras do paraíso ok.

Q. When did Waves of Dread begin? Tell us about the history...
The dread started a long time ago. I’ve been writing the songs for quite a while too
Q: Who are your influences?
I've always loved the way Neil Young plays guitar, that raw style. J Mascis and Kevin Shields too
Q. Make a list of 5 albums of all time…
I’m gonna try to avoid any potentially obvious influences here...

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works 85-92
Q. How do you feel playing live?
I’ve not played any shows yet! I'll hopefully get some booked soon

Loud. Like a blimp crossed with a hovercraft, maybe
Q: Tell us about the process of recording the songs?
I recorded the demos at home, I've got a pretty basic setup but it does the job
Q. Which new bands do you recommend?
Not so much new bands but I’m listening to Ariel Pink’s most recent album a lot currently. The new UMO tracks are great too

Simple Minds - Don’t You Forget About Me
Q: What are your plans for the future?
Release some more demos, maybe put a band together and do some gigs

I don’t actually own an electric guitar at the minute, could I borrow one off someone please? Thanks
