Alterkicks chat to I Like Music

Alterkicks closed 2006 following support slots with Larrikin Love and The Automatic which saw the band gather a host of new fans. Debut single for B-Unique, "On A Holiday", saw praise from NME for a "rollicking stomp". The very end of the year saw Rocksound predict big things for the band as part of their Hot One Hundred for 2007, noting that "their wayward guitar pop has a way of getting inside your head".

Having kicked of 2007 with a headline tour; a date on the NME Awards shows, and a new single, Good Luck, the band have started as they mean to go on. We caught up with Martin from Alterkicks to talk about the new single and album, touring with Larrikin Love and The Automatic, and the power of music.

"I Like Music because… it stops me from worrying." MARTIN, ALTERKICKS

ILM: Your debut album is due out soon. Can you tell us which track on the album you had the most fun laying down in the studio?

MARTIN: I guess a song called the Cannibal Hiking Disaster. That was really good, because it's one of our favourite songs and we had a string quartet come in and play on it, so that was really good, Watching them play on top of that and just all come together, that was really good. The same string quartet played on Universal, Blur songs, they played on a couple of Blur albums and on Morrissey. So we thought it was really good, we were just honoured, we were chuffed. The guy composing it is in a band called The Durutti Column from the 70s, and he's a top bloke.
