Alterkicks chat to I Like Music

MARTIN: We've got a song called My Downfall which I really like, it's one of my favourite tracks that we've got. There's loads of energy in it and it rocks like.

ILM: Can you describe the Alterkicks process of making music?

MARTIN: It's normally I'll play a set of chords and then a melody and then I'll just mumble and eventually something will come out and I'll try and hone it a bit with lyrics afterwards. So it's always about how it sounds to me first, but lyrics are really important. But generally it's the melody first and then, when I've got that. I'll take it into the band and it becomes something else when everyone else writes their bits for it.

ILM: It must be a great feeling to create something that starts off just as a few chords and then, when all the parts come together and it's all recorded and the finished product is there, that must be a bloody good feeling.

MARTIN: Yeah. I guess the best feeling is when you've just done it. Even before you get to the studio and you've practiced in rehearsals and you just know it's going to be good, that's probably the best feeling.
