Interviews: Nightblade

On this new occasion, we have had the opportunity to interview the Alternative Rock band, Nightblade, from the UK. Check out the interview and follow the band on their FACEBOOK PAGE.

1.Where did you get the idea for the band name, you planned it or came out just like that?

It was long and monotonous with several contenders that came and went. We felt safe going for Nightblade and that it represented our music at the time.

2.Why did you want to play this genre?

All of the original lads were into rock/metal. With today’s line up, we are more alternative rock.

3. Did you know each other before the band was formed?

I’ve known Richard since Stourbridge College and the other guys know each other from the gym.
