The Pale White are drawing inspiration from lockdown: "I wrote a song called 'Cabin Fever'"

Newcastle trio The Pale White kicked off 2020 with their new single 'Polaroid', a song about "freezing a specific moment in time and living in it forever". A bit like - but not really - how we feel now, stuck in a virus-induced lockdown. Timing, right? Thankfully the band are making good use of their time, working on loads of new music. Adam ("frontman and ‘shredddding guitar’") tells us more, ahead of their set at Homeschool in a week-and-a-bit. Hi Adam, how's it going? Are you guys all self-isolating? Yeah, we're all good thanks... staying indoors n'all that. Can't complain! Drinking too much coffee, though.

How have you found it so far, do you have lots to be getting on with? Are you getting in your one-hour of outdoors time? It's been ok. The initial post-apocalyptic week or so when it first booted off in the UK freaked me out a little, but mainly because of the way people were behaving in supermarkets and stuff. The toilet roll thing... what was that all about?! Bit weird. But yeah I feel used to the whole scenario now and taking the time to write and finish a pile of songs that needed some tweaking. I was doing Couch to 5k too which I was thoroughly enjoying considering I've never been the type to run... but was wearing the wrong footwear and done my left foot in. I'll be back, week 3.
