Interview with Post War Years
Christian: How did you guys get together?
PWY: We’re all Lemington Lad’s originally; we all went to different schools but it’s a place where you end up knowing everyone. That’s why we moved to London in the end.
Christian: So did you feel you had to leave the shackles of Lemington Spa?
PWY: It was really just a change of scene. After Uni we all just reconvened there and decided to move down to London because of the chance for more gigs and more expensive rent.
Christian: Your name conjures up dreams of a world with no war, were there any other names suggested?
PWY: One of us was obsessed with being called Post War Cartel and Post War Heroes was another name being thrown about but we ended up settling on Post War Years. There aren’t many Years bands but it does cause some confusion, we’ve been billed as Cold Year Kids before!
Christian: If you had to give a piece of advice for Newcastle University students what would it be?
PWY: Get a Cluny burger! And drink before you go out, but responsibly of course.
Christian: What would you suggest students listen to at the moment?
PWY: Late of the Pier are a cracking live band, Gold heart assembly, We Have Band and Wave Machines!
Christian: How has the tour gone so far, any late night shenanigans?
PWY: In Nottingham we ended up spending the night with Late of the Pier and there techie in their mansion of a house.
Christian: When can we expect to hear an album?
PWY: Yes, next year seems to be the date, but of course that requires us writing the album first and then recording and then everyone agreeing on every feature of it.
Christian: If you weren’t in a band what would you be doing?
PWY: We’d probably be a lot happier. Perhaps living in a place like Barcelona owning a small bar sounds a nice idea.
Christian: How did you think the gig went tonight then?
PWY: It’s difficult to tell being the first band on but it seems a good crowd tonight and the Cluny is a great little venue.
