Adam Smart.
Where are you
from?
Deal, in Kent, England.
Name of band:
IRIS.
Who else is in
your band?
James
Wells, Rich Goodyear and Ross Gilbert.
How would you
describe yourselves?
Alternative rock
with a post hardcore edge.
Who are your
main influences musically?
Nirvana, Biffy
Clyro, Lower Than Atlantis, Don Broco, Smashing Pumpkins, Reuben
What do you hope
to achieve in music?
To be able to
play big festivals, do big tours, give up the day job and live comfortably as
musicians. And for our songs to mean something to people.
What has been
the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Err, we've had a
few 'moments'. Touring with I Divide towards the end of last year definitely.
Headlining a sold out Barfly in Camden was also pretty cool. Amazing show
with amazing memories, the crowd were awesome!
And what’s the
moment you want to forget?
Err probably the
early days playing to hardly anyone at The Garage in Highbury whilst having our
tour van broken into at the same time :(
If you could
choose just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and
why?
I think it has
to be our new single 'Lights At Ten'. Not only cause its the only recording of
our new line up but also that it most represents where we are at now musically.
I think it encompasses all of our sound pretty much in one song.
Where can we
listen to it?

our website....http://www.iris.uk.com/
