My DPS Interview

For my double page spread interview I took my initial interview questions that I had writen, but I wanted to create a more relxaed chatty feel to the interview so I added additional speech and questions where I felt it was nesseccary.

Faded pink skinnies second album ‘friends requests confirmed’ is out soon, so we decided to drag them in for a chat about the new album and give you the chance to ask them some questions of your own.

So your new album, ‘friends requests confirmed’ is out soon? First of all, where did the idea or the name of the album come from is there some sort of message behind it?

Stuart - ‘No not at all, it was a completely random name for the album, we were just lounging around thinking of what we could potentially call the album, and the name just came to us.’

So the name doesn’t tie in with any of the songs on the album?

Stuart - ‘Erm, no, not really.’

Ok, there have also been a lot of rumours that this is your final album, is there any truth in this?

Sam - ‘Definitely not, we are not even close to splitting up, or even to stopping making music, we love what we do and once this album is released we cannot wait to get started on a new one.’

Before you get working on a new one, do you have a tour lined up to support the new album?

Sam - ‘Oh yes definitely, we love touring and will absolutely be scheduling some tour dates soon.’

Will any of these dates be in the UK?

Sam - ‘Without doubt, we can’t go on tour without coming to the UK can we.’

Good, im sure a lot of your fans will be glad to hear that, Ok, what are the worst things about being on tour?

Sam - ‘Erm, for me one of the worst things has to be sharing a bathroom on the bus with 2 other guys all day and night’

Luke - ‘Yeah that is one of the worst, and having to sleep near each other, because there’s always a snorer.’


Who do you think you might ask to support you, any names come to mind?

Stuart - Erm, we’ve always wanted to go on tour with ‘the hype’ we love their sound, we’ve always been good friends with them, and the new album took a lot of inspiration from their sounds.’

Really, so the new album is different to your last?

Stuart - Not drastically different, there are some songs on their that many of our fans will be surprised by but, will hopefully I think still really enjoy. Fingers crossed.’
