SAMARKIND - DAVID PAUL BYRNE

💿 Let’s start talking about the early days of this band..When is this all begun? Which bands have influenced you?

Myself and Michal have been working and writing together for the last year and a half with Mark and Marius joining in the last 6 months. The whole band have quite eclectic taste we generally will listen to anything of quality in any genre, however on this record we have drawn from Led Zeppelin, Mark III Deep Purple, and a lot of blues. 💿 On November 24th will be out your debut self-titled full-length.. Can you tell us somethin’about this platter and its composition process? We had the privilege to listening to in preview this new album and we’re very satisfied! A wonderful mix of Hard Rock and Classic Rock in bluesy mood, a work respectful of the past but looking to the future. Yes, recorded in Dublin in the same studio as Thin Lizzy's last couple of albums we certainly felt an atmosphere of rocknroll. We used a lot of very old equipment from the 1970's to try give an authentic and genuine feel. 💿 This album is self-released. Are you in contact with some label to have a bigger distribution?

We decided at the very start of the project that we didnt want to get bogged down in label politics so went for a self release, however we are always open to offers although we do prefer to do things ourselves.

💿 The real “news” in music industry is the return of vinyl; What’s your feeling about this classic format and the current music business? What’s your opinion about the renewed interest for classic sounds?

The music business has changed dramatically in the last few years and I personally think it is more to the favour of smaller artists being able to release and promote independently I think is very positive. In a thousand years people will still want to hear those old classic sounds of quality and not the manafactured pop music of today. 💿 Can you tell us somethin’about your next live projects to promote the new album? Are there some gigs scheduled?

We are hoping to tour the Uk and Europe next year and are currently talking to some agents and promoters 💿 Thank you so much for your time! See you soon on Hardrockheavymetal!
