Have You Heard: Bollards

Answered by: Thomas Walsh

When did you start making music and why? We started making music roughly two years ago as a good way to hang out and share our interest in music. Ultimately it's a great outlet in within our busy lives.

Sum up your musical sound in four words? Fuzz, riffs, desription, eclectic.

If you could only listen to one album forevermore, what would it be and why? Gareth Liddiard - Strange Tourist. So much in it, could find a new favourite song every time, but the stories in the songs are so complex it takes so many listens to properly get them.

Greatest rock'n'roll moment of your career to date? Just doing real band stuff, like, waiting 'round for a couple of hours for someone to bring a key to a studio, or searching 'round Melbourne for a whole day looking for the flash drive needed to run ProTools.

Why should people come and see your band? We've got a policy of putting the money we make from the night over the bar at the end.

When and where are your next gigs? 28 Mar, The Brunswick Hotel.
