The Phantom Band - The Howling / With you


Zeg maar hallo tegen deze Schotse band. Proto Robo Folk. Glasgow new wave. Whatever. Het is erg fijn. Het album heet Checkmate Savage. Daal af in de krochten van je eigen ziel en geniet deze donkere plaat. Nu dus met officiele clip.

Vocalist Rick Anthony states: we never really took things too seriously to start with so we didn’t think twice about changing our name so much, or asking promoters to pick ones for us. I guess it could be considered a little perverse, but it allowed us the freedom to experiment with different forms of music, and it was also kind of fun. I think we gradually realised that it was potentially as alienating for people as it was amusing for us, and once we had played a few shows under the name The Phantom Band, without anyone complaining, it made sense to stick with it. Also, by that point, we had reached a level of musical expression that was more in tune with what we were aiming for as a band, so I think we were all a bit more comfortable with the idea of settling on something.
