Meet: We interview Dominic from rising indie band Peace
Peace have just embarked on a lengthy UK tour, with their sophomore record, Happy People, out on the 9th of February. I met up with drummer, Dominic Boyce, in between back-to-back dates at Queens Social Club Sheffield. So how was last night? It was good, yeah, really good…loved it. How do you like playing Sheffield? It’s nice, …
Meet: we interview Perth singer-songwriter Peyton
Backseat Mafia were recently impressed by the debut single, New York Era, from Perth’s Peyton. So impressed that we fired a few questions to singer/songwriter Peyton Sears to find out more: Where does the name Peyton come from? My full name is Peyton Sears. I was originally considering going under another name but I just thought Peyton …
Meet: A Talk With Jakob Skott
Way back in July of 2014 I was lucky enough to sit down and pick the brain of Causa Sui drummer and sound wizard Jakob Skott about his excellent albums Doppler and Amor Fati, as well as his work with Causa Sui. We also discussed running his own record label, El Paraiso Records, along with Causa Sui guitarist Jonas …
Meet: We interview ESPER SCOUT: As recommended by Mark E Smith !
Esper Scout come, in my mind anyway, with one of the highest accolades possible in indie music. Better than a Grammy, or any Mercury Prize, they come with approval of none other than Mark E Smith. The Leeds based band create experimental rock that is infused with rich, vivid guitar workings, over repetitious rhythmic drumming, …
EXCLUSIVE! : Pusher – ‘10,000 Hours’ – Exclusive first stream + interview.

Meet: Warren Haynes of Gov’t Mule

Joining the reformed Allman Brothers Band in the 80s he’s built a formidable reputation and list of credits to his name, not least fronting Gov’t Mule since the mid 90s. 2014 has been Gov’t Mule’s 20th anniversary and January …
Meet: Interview with Johannes Eckerström of Avatar
Take one look at Avatar and it’s clear they’re here to make a statement and set themselves apart from the rest of the crowd. Their recent co-headline tour with the Defiled brought them out in front of hundreds of new faces every day- a challenge they took on just as fiercely as opening for Avenged …
Artist Spotlight: Medicine’s Brad Laner
As I sit and listen to Medicine’s newest record Home Everywhere I’m astounded by the fact that they’re still largely seen as an underground band. If I asked the first four people I see if they know who the band Medicine is they would all likely say they have no idea who they are. Sure, …
Meet: China Mac interview, and watch his new video for “Buck a Cop”
China Mac has had it tough. Two things have always been a constant in his life – hip-hop and trouble. Sent to a group home at eight years old and writing his first rhyme whilst sat on the bunk bed of a juvenile detention centre, its a wonder that the Chinese-American, Brooklyn born rapper ever …
Meet: We interview Alicewell, new Swedish kids on the Rock block
Meet Alicewell; a new band from Sweden. Even though this is the case, take one listen to them and they sound as if they could have stepped straight off the UK rock scene. Alicewell are an unsigned band, but despite this, they have recently released their debut album Wounds, and just finished a tour of …
