the bedroom hour Q&A



Your name: 

Stuart Drummond (vocals).

Where are you from? 
We are from West London and we have our own studio space in Uxbridge where we rehearse, record, etc.

Name of band: 
the bedroom hour.

Who else is in your band? 
Mark Dudley on keys/synths, Rob Payne on guitars and backing vocals, Dan Rider on bass and backing vocals and Ryan Pincott on drums.

How would you describe yourselves? 
We are a dynamic and melodic guitar/synth based band.

Who are your main influences musically? 
We all have many influences but Doves, Death Cab for Cutie and The Doors are just the tip of the iceberg.

What do you hope to achieve in music? 
We just want to be recognised for making credible music and be in a position to earn a living from doing something we are all very passionate about, anything else on top of that is just a bonus. 

What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why? 
I would not class it as a highlight but I would say the feedback we get through Twitter is very humbling and the love and support we have had so far is a highlight in itself for me personally. 
One fan in particular travelled down from Scotland to Blackburn to see us and then decided that she wanted to design a website and set up a street team and that gesture in itself meant a great deal to all of us to know that all came from songs we wrote, it’s crazy.
We try very hard to communicate with our fans and have a bond with them best we can, we want to create something special musically and something special with those  that take their time to support us.

And what’s the moment you want to forget? 
Well long before the bedroom hour was a band my previous band did a gig for a very well known artist at his studio for his daughters surprise birthday. It was all very pretentious they had a sheep going round on a spit, they had bits of his work floating around the strangest locations and they thought they had booked a covers band and it was all very awkward when we played our own brand of music... so a bit of a disaster really.

If you could choose one of your songs as an advert for your music, what would it be and why? 
Well we are in the final stages of recording a song called ‘Slow Motion Cinema’, which I have so much faith in and I can't quite believe as a band we have written a song like it.
I believe this song will appeal to people of any age, race, gender,  it came from a very dark place in my life and something universally beautiful has grown from a terrible desperate situation and I am very proud of it as I am of all the lads in this band for what they have created.
  
Where can we find out more about your music? 
The best place to find out more information is on our website which is www.thebedroomhour.com

Anything else you’d like to say about your band that I forgot to ask? 
We are in the final stages of our debut E.P. which we have recorded at our studio in Uxbridge, although no release date as yet we are very hopeful to have it available on iTunes and through our site in early 2013 til then we have some acoustic songs available to download through our website.
