Reverend And The Makers chat to I Like Music
ILM: Yeah, it's all about truth isn't it?
JON: Yeah. I mean everybody knows my opinions from the war in Iraq to the Government and I'm not saying I'm right and their wrong, although I do think what I'm saying is right, but what I'm saying is… 'what do you think?' I'm trying to get a debate going. Post 911, new artists who spoke out and said anything, how many were there? Not many at all, they're very minimal in number. So I'm saying, 'let's have a debate,' there's no debate in society I feel.
ILM: I think there should be more musicians who open up that discussion, definitely.
JON: Musicians, by and large, are an intelligent bunch of people. Their awareness of the facts is undoubtable and I think the reason that they don't' speak out is largely due to the fact that they don't want to lose record sales.

Ellen, Los Campesinos: ilikemusic because... It’s the best form of escapism that you can have wherever you are. You could be completely miserable or waiting for a bus and put on any song that inspires you and you can escape into a little world, well that’s what I tend to do anyway.
Sam, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly: ilikemusic because... Music is a special thing that is not like anything else in the world. You might argue that you can translate emotions through films and through books but anyone can make music, whether that be humming or singing along to the radio, it’s something that gives enjoyment and positivity to many people.
O'Bailey: ilikemusic because... I can live vicariously through a song, whether it's a screaming angry rock anthem or a silly kids song ("I'm a little yellow fish" anyone?) haha!
