Your name:
James.
Where are you from?
All over the country [UK], but we call
Abingdon home.
Name of band:
Grudle Bay,
although everybody seems to want to shoehorn in an "n" to
make us Grundle Bay. We've never even been to Grundle Bay.
Who else is in your band?
Tom, Nathan and
another Tom.
How would you describe yourselves?
Individually:
unhinged. Collectively: hinged.
Who are your main influences musically?
We love major melodies and warm, satisfying kick
drums. We've recently been listening to Curtis Mayfield,
Caribou, anything on Dublab, the Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
soundtrack, The Whitest Boy Alive, Daft Punk, Ariel Pink, Phoenix, Glen
Campbell, King Creosote & Jon Hopkins, Gonzales, Ham&Eggs, Soil
and Pimp Sessions.
What do you hope to achieve in music?
The ability to
keep on playing together.
What has been the highlight of your career so far, and
why?
For me, it was our acoustic set at Truck Festival 2013. It was totally
unrehearsed, intimate and just a real joy to play. But you'd probably get a
different answer from each of us.
And what’s the moment you want to forget?
It was so bad,
I've already forgotten it.
If you had to choose just one of your songs to represent
your music, what would it be and why?
Personally, it'd be Fool Around from our
Colder EP - it's got the quiet, pretty parts, a great drop, and
a big 4-to-the-floor welcome home. I'm a big fan!
Where can we listen to it?
