Les Insoumises

1- Where is the band from and what's the best thing to do there? Siren Sycho: Well I, live in Hertfordshire, just outside of North London. In regards to the best thing to do I’d say either going to the local bakery or walking in a field. aBomb: I live near Windsor which has it’s own castle, so that’s pretty cool to check out! Quinn: Hertfordhire area , best thing to do is avoid getting mugged. Jones: I can't speak for the rest of the band but I'm from Welwyn Garden City and the best thing to do here in join in on one of our fun bi-weekly orgies. Also we have a John Lewis. 2- What does your name stand for and what was the runner up? Siren Sycho: I don’t think the name really ’stands’ for anything. I remember we all came up with a load of names each. I wrote a lot of cool sounding words down and put them in a hat, then picked out different combos until I found several I liked to put in as my share of names, along with the rest of the band. We then each voted a...

If you've been roaming in the local underground punk scene since a while, well the chances are very good that you've seen The Lookout on a stage before. The chances are also very good that you went like '"woaaaaah these guys are killing it!". Because yeah they rock as hard as it gets. The drumming is tight and brutal, the bass is wild with fast runs all over the neck, the riffs are headbanging with some tasty solos, but what will really kick your ass is Martha, the singer, who is as passionate as she is fierce on a stage. Oh and she got pipes too. We've reach out to her to get to know more about her story and what's going on with the band. Enjoy! Hey Martha, first of all, how are you going? How is the family? Hey Emmanuel! Im doing good... besides the fact that taking care of a one and half year old is a 24/7 job and I'm exhausted. Haha! We are however lucky to be together and healthy. Thanks for asking! Of course these are weird times...

1- Where is the band from and what's the best thing to do there? We’re from Brooklyn! We’re going to sound biased, but NYC is the best city in the world. There’s tons of live music (including an incredible DIY scene), amazing food, some great beaches (we know they’re not as clean as in other parts of the world but we still love them), everything is open late, you typically (quarantine time excluded) can explore any possible interest here at any time. We love it. 2- What does your name stand for and what was the runner up? I wish we had a cooler backstory for our name - though we do share our name with a swim team in El Paso and a motorcycle club somewhere in the Middle East. We tend to have a hard time agreeing on things and naming the band was no exception. We wrote a song called “Tequila Shark” which someone suggested we should use for our name. But we vetoed “tequila” in favor of “desert” because we liked the sound of it and that it was an anomaly. 3- Describe your s...

Le Pouzza fest devait fêter ses 10 ans cette année, et une programmation de feu avait déjà été annoncée, avec la venue de groupes comme Propagandhi , Millencolin , Good Riddance , War On Women et The Creepshow . Bien entendu, ce n'est que partie remise, car le festival entend bien être de retour en 2021, lorsque les conditions seront favorables bien sûr. Malgré cette annonce, ont ne peux qu'imaginer l'angoisse qu'a du vivre l'équipe derrière le Pouzza, alors que la situation empirait de jours en jours, et que l'industrie événementielle s'apprêtait à prendre un virage sans précédent. Nous avons voulu savoir comment Hélène McKoy , co-fondatrice de l'évènement, a fait face à cette situation et surtout comment elle a participé à rendre le festival, l'un des plus importants au pays dans le domaine de la musique underground , en tant que femme dans une industrie dominée par l'homme. Bonne lecture! Bonjour Hélène, premièrement comment va...
