SHERIFF – SHERIFF
How many releases do you have now?
Thomas James Watson, guitar: This self-titled EP is our debut. We put out the single What You Want last year (check out its raucous video clip on YouTube) to give people a taste of the EP but now that the whole lot is bundled up and ready to go, it will be our first major release.
How long did it take to write/record?
We didn't write specifically for it but chose six of our existing songs from a repertoire that we had being gigging for two to three years prior to recording. This way the songs had time to mature and become what they are today rather than the songs improving after the recording process and the band thinking, “Shit, really wish we had have recorded that part.” We spent almost a solid week in the studio recording it.
What was inspiring you during the making of the EP?
One slab of Melbourne Bitter per day.
What's your favourite song on it?
All six of them. There's no point putting a song to tape if you're half-hearted about it!
We'll like the EP if we like…
Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, QOTSA, smokin' guitar riffs, good times, dancing, yelling, hoedowns, high fives and rock'n'roll.
Will you be launching it?
Yes siree! We will be launching it at Cherry Bar this Saturday 7 April! Get down there early because we are joined by two killer supports, Jackals and Sun God Replica. It's gonna be a hoot!
