Ladybird first flew onto my radar after I saw them supporting Slaves at Manchester Academy back in 2018. Putting on a high energy performance that perfectly matched exactly what the crowd have expected - the band haven't left my mind since that amazing night.
For Fans Of: Slaves, Frank Carter and the Rattlesnakes, IDLES
The post-punk Kent trio focus on themes of love and friendship in their newest track 'G
ot Lucky' which was released just over a week ago. I had the wonderful opportunity of interviewing Sam from the band, discussing the new single, current worldwide events, what they've got for us in the works and tackling questions from fans.
Do you take inspiration from any other bands/ who do you look up to?
I guess the answer for that is, lots and lots of bands give inspiration to us and, the direct link that we all feel, myself Alex and Joe that’s prominent in our artistry is The Streets and we would listen to their albums on the way to gigs, rehearsals, and we’d all be in awe. Really we listen to a lot of music in the van on the way to gigs, Alex and Joe are usually just back to back AB, they’re just so passionate and they put songs on and I don’t usually chip in but sometimes I’m like I wanna listen to this album now, I’m feeling an inspiration but albums and music like that, bands that we take inspiration from through that medium are things like Oasis ‘what’s the story morning glory’, stone roses their debut album.
