Your name:
Scott.
Where are you from?
Kent, England.
Name of band:
Sirens &
Shelter.
Who else is in your band?
It’s just me.
How would you describe yourself and your
music?
I’m just a guy
who likes writing songs. It helps me keep my head clear. I’m also not brilliant
at interviews.
Who are your main influences musically?
Mike Kinsella,
Copeland, Evan Weiss (Into it. Over It), Sam Duckworth (GetCapeWearCapeFly),
Kevin Devine.
What do you hope to achieve in music?
I’ve never
really given it much thought. The idea that my songs might help someone out is
cool… Whether that’s distraction on a morning commute, or cheering someone up
who’s having a shit time, or if it gets someone out of the house to a show for
a beer – that’d be great.
What has been the highlight of your career so
far, and why?
I’ve had the opportunity to release and EP and an
album through Engineer Records and Desert Pearl Union Records, which I’m really
proud of. Played loads of shows all over the place and made some amazing
friends.
And what’s the moment you want to forget?
It’s like
anything really – you only ever really remember the good bits. Saying that;
playing 14 straight nights with some sort of throat infection wasn’t the
smartest thing I’ve ever done.
If you had to pick just one of your songs to
represent your music, what would it be and why?
The title track from my album, Through The War.
The song closes the record and has a bit of everything – hooks, cool chord
progressions, interesting instrumentation and it’s really honest lyrically. I
also recorded the vocals in a horrible corridor, which gives them a raw feel.
Where can we listen to it?
You can listen to the whole album for free
here:
Where can
we find out more
about your music?
Anything else you’d like to say about your
music that I forgot to ask?
I think everything mentioned above is enough to get
you started. Oh, I’m releasing a new album in Spring 2015 called Maybe You
Should. If you like what you hear, check that out too.
