Album Focus: King of the North

Member’s name: Danny Leo

Album title: Sound The Underground

Where did the title of your new album come from? From sitting around and thinking of a title, but that one stuck out when my bandmate Higgsy came up with it. I guess it represents the sound of underground bands also.

How many releases do you have now? Two: a self-titled EP released in May 2012 and now Sound The Underground released in March this year.

How long did it take to write/record? About a month. It was a busy time with gigs but we needed to write a debut album so there were solid rehearsals and writing sessions in between.

Was anything in particular inspiring you during the making? I think we were both ready to present a debut album so we were motivated more than inspired if anything. We’re constantly inspired to create and keep moving forward.

What’s your favourite song on it? I like Wanted and Running Out Of Reasons, they’re great to play on drums.

Will you do anything differently next time? I’d bring two identical kick pedals and two ride cymbals in because they both broke while recording. What we did worked for this album, next time may be different.
