Your name:
Lawrie Pattison.
I play lead guitar and sing backing vocals in the band!
Where are you
from?
Although none of
us are actually from there, we say Guildford, Surrey, as that's where we all met and
formed the band. It's not home to us as individuals, but it's home to the band.
Name of band:
Miss Vincent.
Who else is in
your band?
Alex Marshall
(lead vocals and rhythm guitar), Jack Donnelly (drums) and Owain Mainwaring
(bass and backing vocals).
How would you
describe yourselves?
We're just four
regular dudes making music inspired by the bands we love. Musically we'd
describe ourselves as catchy punk rock; aggressive drums and guitars mixed with
strong vocals and smooth harmonies.
Who are your
main influences musically?
Alkaline Trio,
Misfits, NOFX, Against Me!, Ramones, Bad Religion, AFI, the list goes on...
What do you hope
to achieve in music?
If we could rely
on our music for a living that'd be a dream come true for all of us. Travelling
to new and different places, playing shows day in, day out, being able to spend
all of our time and effort on our band and working hard to be the best we can
be. We just want as many people as possible to hear our music.
What has been
the highlight of your career so far, and why?
We've been given
the chance to play alongside some great bands. We supported Sonic Boom Six in
Guildford back in February this year which was amazing. We were stoked to share
a stage with SB6, and playing with a band like that really forced us to step up
and brought out a great performance in us. There was a lot of energy at that
show, and it was just a good atmosphere; great bands, great crowd, great gig!
We couldn't have asked for much more that night.
And what’s the
moment you want to forget?
We had three
shows cancelled on our last tour back in April/May. We book all of our shows
ourselves and we're always excited to play new places, so whenever a show gets
cancelled, especially the day before, it's a massive bummer. Unfortunately it's
something that happens to every band, we just try to do our best and roll with
the punches!
If you were
asked to pick just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be
and why?
Our first
single, No One Knew. The song is about a woman named Joyce Vincent who died
alone in her flat and wasn't found for years. Alex found an article about her
online and thought it was a very sad, but interesting story so he wrote a song
about it, it's where we got our band name from as well. No One Knew also really
showcases what we feel are our musical strong points.
