A few weeks ago, we got chance to have a chat with an indie-punk band called The Deadnotes. The Freiburg-based band consists of Darius (lead vocals, guitars), Jakob (bass, backing vocals), and Yannic (drums). This was our first ever live video interview.
Thanks for making this happen guys, let’s start with an introduction!
Darius : Well, my name is Darius and this is Jakob. Our drummer, Yannic is at work right now. We started this band while we were still in school. Yannic has been a friend since kindergarten and we asked him if he wanted to start a band. It has worked out pretty well until now.
Jakob : Yeah, we started in 2011, we’ve been together as a band for 7 years now.
How is it being an indie-punk band in Germany ? I think the genre is not quite popular there, right?
Darius : Freiburg is a small city and not many people really enjoy punk, pop punk, indie, and all that. There are a lot of people who enjoy funk, reggae, hip hop, rap, and EDM. It’s difficult, it's a very small scene and only a few people really enjoy our music but it's still a lot of fun.
How is the German indie music scene in general?
Darius : It really depends. German indie music scene is quite big. Bigger for bands who sing in German. When you’re a German band that sings in English, it will be more difficult because there's no real pop-punk scene here like in UK or US which is, you know, very fantastic."
Tell us your musical influences and the bands you wish you could collaborate with?
Darius : Yeah there is a lot I think, bands like Boston Manor and Moose Blood, and many more. Personally, I’d like to collaborate with Muse. That would be cool.
You’re in the process of making the new album, how is it going?
Darius : It's our second album, we recorded demos in North Germany and we are working on the very last song. It's going pretty well. The album is untitled and we haven’t decided on the release date but it is planned for this year. This new album is very straightforward musically and we cover broader issues and wider perspectives in terms of lyrics,compared to the first album which mostly talked about feelings, tough experiences, and emo-related things.
You guys already have a manager, but as an indie band you started by doing everything by yourselves, so according to your experience when is the right time to assign a manager?
Darius : There is nothing like the right time to assign a manager. There are many bands that work with managers like us and think like: oh cool we already have a manager so we don't need to do anything, they'll work for us. That's bullshit , because it's a lot of hard work and you still need to do many things on your own, and that's cool because of the experience you gain.
Tell us about your tour experience ! Must be a lot of fun, some insights, and maybe bad experiences?Â
Darius : Last two or three years we've been touring all over Europe and visited a lot of exciting cities. We've played a little over 60 shows. There are no many people we got to meet and we will go as far as possible to meet even more.
You also did European tour ? Maybe pick the best gig you’ve ever played for ?
Darius : Well, it's hard to say or to pick a city or show as the best, ever.
Jakob : Every time we make new friends is a show worth playing.
Darius : Yeah, then it feels like home, a second home.
Advise for new bands out there?
Darius : Well, I think, just do it, don’t overthink it, just make music
and have fun. Also the same for the listeners. Many of them say, nah I don’t like this band, they sound too much like this or that, the singer looks weird. That's rubbish. Be open minded.
Things you like to do outside of music ?
Darius : We actually just had a nice discussion with Daniel, our manager, because we spend a lot of time together, mainly working. We decided to...at one point when the album is released maybe, that we need to have a fun day, with no business at all, just a fun day. Like talk, go to the park or something. Yeah, we spend a lot of time together as a band and as friends, we do everything pretty much together, like hanging out or going to a bar. "
Do you guys like listening music across genre? I think rap music is a big thing in Germany, is that true? I like Cro anyway (laugh)
Jakob : (surprised) Oh, you know Cro? Cool, but Cro is more pop though, pop-rap.
Darius : Yeah, Cro is pop-rap. There is one German rapper, his name is Casper. He does really cool music, especially when you understand the lyrics, it's really really good.
Okay, I don’t understand German, but I’ll try Casper. Anyway, can you mention fun facts about your bandmates ?
Darius : (laugh) ah, I am thinking right now. Sometimes it's the smallest things like someone
makes some weird noise or someone shows up late to rehearsals.
Jakob : I hate the noise people make when they're eating or sleeping (laugh).
Last, name bands we should listen to!
Darius : Cold Reading from Switzerland. They’re also a pop-punk, indie rock band.
Jakob : They're our friends actually.
