Episode 4: Feral Family interview

As soon as I listened to a promo copy of Without Motion (the newly-released debut album by post-punk band Feral Family) I knew I wanted to promote it somehow. I’ve been listening to the album regularly over the past weeks. The band’s mix of gothic guitar-driven rock, satisfyingly propulsive bass lines and moody imagery came as a welcome change of pace for me amid a lot of noise rock and extreme metal that I’ve been listening to recently. Talking with Oscar and Jamie (two thirds of the band, alongside drummer Aidan) revealed the time and effort that’s gone into getting the band to this point of having their first full-length record recorded and released. It’s been quite a journey. I was very interested to explore how Oscar and Jamie (the band’s sole constants) got to this point. I think their experience is quite insightful and valuable for anyone starting out and trying to make it as a band. In a few days Feral Family will be embarking on their first UK headline tour, in support of the album. I’ll be seeing them at their London show (the last leg of the tour). You can see all the dates below and if you click here, you can get links to the band’s social media, streams for the album and (if copies are still available) Without Motion on a very limited vinyl run. I hope you’ll enjoy the conversation and (if you haven’t already done so) check out the album. Thanks for reading. If you haven’t already, why not subscribe? It’ll make me happy and I’ll do my darnedest to keep you entertained. This is a public episode.
