Blackhearts - Interview


Hi and welcome to this interview. Tell us about your latest release, Lisergicana.
- Hello everybody! Lisergicana is our first EP, it was born from the desire to make noise with only bass and drums. We would like to join our words to a very heavy sound and pressing rhythms. There are 5 fast songs that don't wash over you but they shake the listener inside. 

How would you describe your sound? 
- A raw sound composed by a simple drum and a fuzz bass, all united by the voice which does exactly what you don't expect. 

What do you write about? 
- In our Ep we talk about every single human feeling, from anger to pain, going through torment and ending with carefreeness. 

What do you listen to when you are home? 
- The real question is what you don't listen! If you share some time with us you may listen to Grace, Du hast, Go with the flow, Breed or Bloody Mary in less than half an hour! 

Your favourite live performance so far? 
- The most beautiful live was playing only one song for a charity event which included different performances. Before us there was a child singing his favourite song and after us a quartet playing '60s music. Very different performances united for something good was very inspiring. 

Tell us a funny story that happened in studio or on stage 
- During our last live the bass was connected through bypass for a mistake, the result? Half set list without distortion, so panic, breathe, connect all in the right way and then start over again. Memorandum for the future: check everything twice before start. 

Your favourite albums? 
- Samanta: Is very difficult chose only one album overall: at this time “Trust” of Never Obey Again is my soundtrack. 
- Gabriel: One Dimensional Man - You kill me. 

A musician you would like to meet for a beer? 
- Gabriel: I think Paul McCartney has a lot of xxxxxxx to tell! 
- Samanta: Surely Dave Grohl. 

What would you ask for backstage, if you were the most important band on earth? 
 -Gabriel: I'd like a giant screen to watch “Fight Club” and end our concert like the last scene. Samanta: maybe a big party or maybe a chill night with a horror movie. 

What are your plans for the near future? 
- We hope we'll be very soon at the recording studio for our next EP to share our music with as many people as possible!
