New Town Q&A



Your name:
Dan Banks.

Where are you from? 
Norwich, England.

Name of band: 
New Town.

Who else is in your band? 
Adrian Knott, Ciaran McClellan, Edd Jackman, Ash Pascoe. 

How would you describe yourselves? 
I can't really put my finger on it, but most probably a healthy mix of alternative rock, indie/pop and dance beats. 

Who are your main influences musically? 
Radiohead, Arcade Fire, Foals, Hope of the States, Wild Beasts and Metronomy.

What do you hope to achieve in music? 
Anything and everything. We are dedicated to the band and want to play as many gigs as possible, but the most important thing that we regard is just getting our music out there and hoping people like what they hear. 

What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why? 
Recording our three latest tracks. The recording sessions were really good and the songs turned out sounding just how we wanted them. 

And what’s the moment you want to forget? 
Having to cancel a couple of gigs due to work commitments! 

If you could choose one of your songs as an advert for your music, what would it be and why? 
"Music Is Medicine", because it incorporates all the elements of our sound, whilst being direct and energetic. 

Where can we listen to it?

Where can we find out more about your music? 

Anything else you’d like to say about your band that I forgot to ask? 
Just that we love playing music together and if we can make a living off of doing what we love then that would be awesome.
