Words on the meaning behind some of the songs on their latest EP, breaking out of the hometown and their local champions.
What personal or cultural influences shaped the music and lyrics on your latest EP (like When The Heavens Opened…Bodies Fell)?
Mostly frustration coming from lots of things, internal and external. It’s hard to pin point one thing because each song deals with its own issues. But I’d like to say that even though it can be pretty negative at times there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel, we tried to convey that idea in the music.
Are there particular messages or experiences you want listeners to take away from Forsaken Cause or other tracks? A recurring theme of the EP most evidently in Forsaken Cause is the feeling of not being good enough to live up to your own standards, which I think a lot of people can relate to. Also questioning the reason we’re here in the first place and why we all choose to get out of bed everyday to make the most of it.
What has been your biggest challenge in reaching new audiences outside your home turf, and how are you tackling it? Giving people a reason to care, there’s a lot of talent in UKHC. The biggest challenge is creating your own niche, giving a reason to check out your band. Naturally people like to give opportunities to their mates rather than some randoms, which is understandable, but it means have to be active in the scene to make those connections.
How do you guys view your local scene and are there any main players in the game you think deserve a shoutout? Nottingham is thriving shoutout The Tura (RIP), Torn Apart, Mindhold, Human Deceit. East mids OGs Full Contact, Built Upon Hatred and No Witnesses.
