Interviews: Decrepit Youths
We had the opportunity to interview the Alternative Rock band Decrepit Youths from the UK. Check out the interview and follow the band on their FACEBOOK PAGE.
1. Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or did it just come out like that?
Connor came up with the band's name. We are all experienced musicians and a little older and wiser than when we first started making music, however still young at heart. Decrepit / Youths.
2 . Why did you want to play this genre?
We are all from different backgrounds and love different genres of music, which can be seen in our music, but primarily we have an Alternative Rock sound as this is the music we all enjoy collectively. We wanted to explore a heavier sound also as this is extremely fun to play live!
3. Did you know each other before the band was formed?
I (David) and Connor were friends for 15 years and have always played cover gigs together. Tommy actually joined when we were looking for a drummer for our first music video and he instantly fell in love with the project. Tim came last as he arrived all the way from Tasmania, Australia. We needed a bass player and he popped up at the perfect time. We are all great friends now.
4. Each band member's favorite band?
We all like bands such as Bring Me The Horizon, Linkin Park, Bad Omens, Link Bizkit, Don Broco etc
5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?
Any hook that is catchy and memorable, whether it be a guitar riff or vocal line. We draw inspiration from other bands and artists as well as sitting and throwing a lot of new ideas together and seeing what sticks.
6. Where was your last gig?
Riverside, NCL in December. We supported Juliet’s Not Dead. It was a great show.
7. Where would you like to play?
Glastonbury, Download Festival, Reading, and Leeds
8. Who would you like to support?
Any big band who would have us play.
9. Who not?
The cheeky girls Or Jedward.
10. Have any of you ever suffered from stage fright? Any tips for beginners on how to beat that?
We still all get nervous now. It’s natural. If you aren’t nervous then you either don’t care enough or you are a robot. Channel your nerves into powerful performances and of course remember to breathe!
11. What bands have inspired you the most?
Old school rock bands like Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Fall Out Boy, Day to remember
12. What's the weirdest thing a fan has ever asked you for?
To sign their chest.
13. What do you think of your fans?
Anyone who supports us and our music we thank you so much, this is a tough industry now, and super hard to get noticed so we appreciate any support we get.
14. What do you think of our site?
It’s great supporting new and emerging artists like ourselves which is great to see.
15. Something to add?
Our new single “Love Psycho Kill Machine” is out now. It’s a banger so go stream it!
