Bad Sounds: "We're definitely releasing an album this year"

A new line-up announce from Live At Leeds is here! The new names feature loads of Dork’s faves, including Superorganism, King Nun and Bad Sounds all heading up to Yorkshire this May. With new material on the cards, Ewan and Callum Merrett are really looking forward to their trip.

Hey Callum, what are you up to?

Hi Dork, I’m trying to make samples, so we don’t get sued for sampling other people. It's fun and dorky… you’d like it.

How was your tour with Rat Boy? Was it a messy one?

It was great! Possibly my fave tour we’ve ever done. We got to go to Ireland for the first time, and we all got seasick on the ferry, so I guess it was a messy one. Last time we supported Rat Boy we were v v green and sorta learning a lot while we went, and this time I think we knew a little about what we were signing up for and all his fans are so great. They’re basically the best audience to be a support band in front of because they’re so enthusiastic and we totally vibe off that on stage.

Did you guys hang out together much, or do any touristy things?

With Ratty? Nah not really. We had a great night out in Newcastle (aka “Toon” for those in the know) with the Ten Tonnes guys who were also touring with us. We ended up being turned away from a karaoke bar and then watching a drag queen battle royale. It was v v fun.

What else have you guys been up to lately, do you have new music on the way?
