Blackhole - Scared To Change - Dead Hearts

'We've got 19 shows in 19 days,' says Blackhole frontman Richard Carter on the band's forthcoming tour alongside the release of their debut album 'Dead Hearts'. 'I can't fucking wait'.

For 5 friends who have put everything they have into doing things their way, it's sweet reward. 'Blackhole started when so many other bands we were in just always fell apart,' continues Carter. 'Andreas (Yiasmoumi, guitarist) and I decided to take things into our own hands and start something new where we would just write for ourselves rather than to go along with what everyone else wanted us to write. We were fortunate enough to know Nick (Mitchell, guitar) and Alex (Hunt, drums) and lucky enough to find Max (Hart, bass), and we discovered that we all wanted to do the same thing, which is simply to write for ourselves'.

'We wanted our band to mix catchy hooks & riffs with a good musical structure,' interjects Yiasoumi. 'And with Rick's vocal.. we've created exactly the band we wanted.'

'We did a bunch of practices and wrote songs as a three-piece for a while,' adds Mitchell, 'before Alex came on board. Our first few shows we actually played without a bass player, but we found Max and the line-up hasn't changed since.'
