Band name:
Wax Ersatz.
Where are you from?
London, England.
Who is in your band?
Stuart (Vocals/Guitar), Matt (Guitar/Backing
Vocals), Adam (Bass/Backing Vocals) and Steve (Drums).
How would you describe yourselves?
Simple songs with a strong chorus and a catchy melody - indie.
Who are your main influences musically?
It varies really depending on which member of the band
you ask but as a general overview we all listen to a huge range of music, from the modern
day contemporary rock bands like Foo Fighters and Chili Peppers to the legendary British
classics like The Smiths, Dexys Midnight Runners and The Clash, even Oasis if you put
them in that category. In terms of song writing there are even essences of electronic music
in there like The Prodigy and The Chemical Brothers. Too many bands to name really but to
be perfectly honest we try not to get too drawn into one band or artist when writing songs
otherwise you end up sounding exactly like them which is a recipe for disaster.
What do you hope to achieve in music?
To be able to play music, and make some sort of a living
out of it, not having to worry about any real, “credible” career, and to be able to play music
to people that appreciate us, and want to hear us.
What has been the highlight of your career so far, and
why?
The first time we played at the 12 Bar Club on Denmark
Street (in London) was pretty memorable, we went down really well in there and
had a great time.
And what’s the moment you want to forget?
Playing at The Rescue Rooms in Nottingham, the sound
engineer was more interested in playing on his phone during our set than actually doing
the sound, we sounded terrible and couldn’t hear ourselves at all, it was counterproductive
and making us look bad so we played two songs and walked out....the engineer was still
playing on his phone while we were walking off. The people in there were nice enough though.
If you had to pick just one of your songs to represent
your music, what would it be and why?
The Song ‘It's Not That I'm Bored’. Good chorus, good
guitar solo, good lyrics, simple chords. It's a belter.

Anything else you’d like to say about your band/music
that I forgot to ask?
Not really, just something worth noting is that all our
songs are currently acoustic recordings, we are due to re record some of them as a 4 piece band by
the end of the year so keep a look out for those versions as well.
