Your name:
Ed
Taylor (Lead Vocals, Guitar).
Where are you
from?
Bristol, UK.
Name of band:
Natural Tendency.
Who else is in
your band?
Bec Jevons (Synth, Backing Vocals), Paul Edwards (Guitar, Backing
Vocals), Dan Jevons (Bass, Backing Vocals), Chris Taylor (Drums).
How would you
describe yourselves?
We categorise our music under the genre "Euphoric
Rock" - this sums up the instrumentation we use and the vibe behind
Natural Tendency. To explain that a bit further, we play rock music with big
riffs and anthemic choruses, but with synths and strings thrown in to add a
twist to things.
Who are your
main influences musically?
The great thing about NT is that all of us listen to
similar music, and yet have our own tastes too. But in general a few of the
influences on the band are Muse, Enter Shikari, Young Guns, Biffy
Clyro...
What do you hope
to achieve in music?
In terms of goals the five of us share the mantra that the
sky's the limit, and the passion to make it happen. We think the UK needs the
next big rock band to come through - by big we're talking festival headliner,
Wembley Stadium. Muse and Kasabian are two of the more recent bands to reach
these heights, but we think the industry needs something new and we think we
have what it takes. For now though, it's all about building our name and taking
the band to the point where we can make a living purely through doing what we
love.
What has been
the highlight of your career so far, and why?
We're about to do a sold-out
support show with Lower Than Atlantis in Nottingham so that's definitely one to
look forward to! We're doing a UK tour in November which we're really buzzed
about - we toured back in February too and had some great times. Other
highlights so far include releasing our mini-album in 2012 and selling out the
Bristol Cooler for the release show, headlining the Bristol Balloon Fiesta to a
huge crowd twice in two years, and big support shows with InMe and Spin
Doctors.
And what’s the
moment you want to forget?
There's always tough times associated with being in
a band - going through line-up changes, playing to six people in a quiet
bar...But all of these are just steps along the way, and all of them have
helped to shape us for the future.
If you had to
pick just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it be and why?
Our track 'Faith' says a lot lyrically about what we believe in and pretty much
encapsulates the Euphoric Rock moniker we use.

Anything else
you’d like to say about your band/music that I forgot to ask?

working on our debut album currently and hope that you'll be able to hear some

onto a gig rider once...
