I got an e-mail recently suggesting that I check out a band from Alabama called Shallow Side. As I hadn’t heard of them, my first stop was the YouTube links for the tracks “Rebel” and “Renegade” (a cover of the Styx track). Liking what I heard, I posted a recommendation for their latest EP “One” (http://www.rockradioni.co.uk/back-stage/music-reviews/2983-ni-rocks-recommends-qoneq-by-shallow-side.html ) and decided to send over some interview questions to find out more about the band. You’ll find these questions and the answers below.
There are some albums that you know you’re probably going to love before you listen to them, but that still really impress you when you do! “Silver” by Swiss rock legends Gotthard is one of those albums. It was released on 13th January via PIAS (Musikvertrieb in Switzerland). I’d played the single “Stay With Me” on the NI Rocks A-Z Show on 20th December and on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 13th January. The opening track “Silver River” is featured on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 20th January.
Shallow Side are a young band from Alabama who have spent the last five years doing what needs to be done to get their music out there; touring across the USA playing gigs and making fans. The band was brought to my attention by one of our longest standing media contacts in the States and it only took a quick listen to the Ep “One”, which was released on 13th January by Thermal Entertainment, to determine that this was a band worth checking out. The single “Rebel” is included on the Friday NI Rocks Show on 20th January.
