Next Stop Olympus stopped in for a chat!

How did the band come to be?
Matt and Conor had spoken about being in a band for years and nothing really came from it but Matt met Josh through a friend and found out he played drums, they started talking about putting a band together then they found Skips on a musician website and ask Conor to come along and we starting working on songs from there, after trying out a couple of people for a second guitarist and them not working out Matt remembered Harry was back from University and that he sang and played guitar so asked him to come along and it all fell together from there.

Do you have any releases coming up this year?
We’ve just released our new EP ‘Heart, Mind & Hell’ in April so we’re really happy to finally be able to release that after the pandemic!

What is something you want listeners to take away from your music?
Anything they need too! Whether its the lyrics hit home in a good way or they connect with a song or even just that they’ve had a good time!

With everything that is going on in our world what is one cause or organization that you are passionate about?
Personally I’d say especially after everything that happened, everyone has got to give it up to the NHS, I know a lot of people that work for the NHS and hats off to all of them for all their hard work.

What is your writing process like?
We’re all involved with all the songs writing process, someone will bring something to the table whether it be a riff, the skeleton of a song, lyrics or even just an idea for how the song could sound and then we all work on it together from there.

To follow up with the last question, what inspires your sound?
Normally just whatever’s happening in our lives or what we’re listening to at the time, we always want our own style of rock ’n’ roll involved with our post-hardcore/ metalcore sound, the lyrics on our new EP are extremely personally because they’re about what we’re going through or have gone through.

Any tours coming up soon?
Nothing concrete as of yet however we are in talks for a few things.
