We had a chat with The Graphic over some social media and asked them a couple of questions that they kindly agreed to and here they are
How did the band first start?
The Graphic started with Laurent (our singer/guitarist) and his need to make music that came from the heart. Later he was joined by Jenny (our backing vocals/bass) and Ruben (our drummer) who shared his passion.
How did you choose the name?
It sums up our stage performances in one word (no nudity).
What has been the craziest experience that you’ve had together?
I think that would be a punk festival we played in Coventry over the summer. Surrounded by hardcore punks we thought we were going to go down like a turd in a punch bowl. But ended up having a great show, almost felt like being in the late 70’s punk movement!
What has been your favourite show to date?
That would have to be our last gig in London at The Beatrice in Camden. It had been a while since we played in London and the place was packed and heaving. Couldn’t ask for a more of a fun show than that!
Who have been your biggest influences?
There are quite a few…though I think Queens Of The Stone Age, Nirvana, Pixies and the Dead Kennedys are the main few.
Who would you dream to play with on tour?
Royal Blood would be amazing! You offering to sort it out?! If not them then definitely either Queens Of The Stone Age or Foo Fighters.
What influenced your Nothings Wrong EP?
The influence behind that lies in its name actually. It was an endeavour to express the angst, passive aggression, alienation and almost paradoxical nature of growing up.
What has been your biggest challenge so far?
We were going to tour in Switzerland last September and getting to Gatwick Airport was the biggest challenge we’ve ever faced. Carrying over 40kg of hard cased luggage on the mighty busses was not easy!
How would you describe your sound?
Our sound is a blend of madness, angst, sadness, desperation and pain. It is undeniable and cannot be ignored by anyone who hears it.
How happy were you with the production of your EP?
We were very happy with the release in the end with thanks to Hush Paz/Julian Adams on production, Edd Hartwell mixing and Doug Cartwright mastering.
All we want now is for more people to hear it!
