We Are Knuckle Dragger Q&A

Your name: 
Aran Glover.

Where are you from? 
I'm from Belfast, but currently living in Newcastle Upon Tyne, England.

Name of band: 
We Are Knuckle Dragger.

Who else is in your band? 
My excellent buddies Pete Currie and Shaun Abbott.

How would you describe yourselves? 
Trio of friends on a mission for good times!

What are your main influences musically? 
It's a difficult question because a lot of the time it feels like personality plays more of a part in this band, as opposed to musical influence and/or prowess. It would be easy to reel off a bunch of bands, or musical styles, but in fairness it's not really gonna get either of us anywhere, is it?

What do you hope to achieve in music? 
To show people that the real music exists beyond what is fucking fed to them on a convenient level, and that new shit shouldn't just be a slightly dressed up/down version of the past. Also, designer haircuts fucking suck, in music or otherwise! 

What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why? 
Touring with Meshuggah and Animals As Leaders, the last date being the sold out HMV Forum in London! That would have to be up there, being the biggest crowd we have ever played to. The very first time we ever played Belfast was one of the best times too! Played a little venue called The Pavilion, and it was near sold out. We'd only just released our first EP, so it was most unexpected!

And what’s the moment you want to forget? 
Bits I want to forget are forgotten, and hence I can't remember any for you now. Plus some bad times are good to remember regardless. Makes you appreciate when the roads smooth out.

Where can we listen to your music? 
Just searching WeAre Knuckle Dragger in YouTube will find many music videos we've done, along with tour diaries featuring us on the road with The Dillinger Escape Plan, Meshuggah, as well as studio footage with Steve Albini in Chicago summer 2011 recording your debut album Tit For Tat.

Where can we find out more about your music?

Anything else you’d like to say about your band that forgot to ask? 
Next month we're recording our next album in LA with Ross Robinson, and our concentration is all on that at the minute. We'll be back on the road again soon though, and if we ain't playing a town near enough to where we wanna be heard, be sure to let us know!
