Interviews: Novacrow

On this new occasion, we have had the opportunity to interview the Metal band, Novacrow 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 plan it or came out just like that?

We literally just picked out two random words from the dictionary. CrowNova sounded weird so we went with Novacrow instead.

2. Why did you want to play this genre?

Whilst we all have very eclectic tastes, we naturally gravitate to metal in the end. Plus, we like pissing off all the metal elitists out there!

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

Kitty and Jonyx were already dating when Kitty decided to form a band. They met Freddy in their hunt for a bassist in the area.

4. Each band member's favorite band?

Jonyx - Avril Lavigne, always puts me in a good mood! Can’t listen to Sk8er Boi without some serious air guitar

Kitty - Type O Negative, I wish I got to see them before Peter Steele passed, such an incredible voice

Freddy - Strapping Young Lad, I’ve been listening to them since I was a strapping young

Lad - get it? *finger guns*

5. Who or what inspires you to write songs?

It could literally be anything really. We all like films and books and video games, so a particularly good plot might inspire a song. Other times, it could be a bout of depression, or maybe a hilarious idea – who knows.

6. Where was your last gig?

Our last show was at Bloodstock festival. It was possibly one of the hottest gigs we’ve ever played. The temperature was pretty high as well 😉 

7. Where would you like to perform?

Literally anywhere and everywhere. Just give us some instruments and an audience of people who just wanna goof around and we’ll do it.

8. Whom would you like to perform with?

We would love to play with someone like Skindred one day – not just because we’re all fans, but because we think we’d be a great match! Otherwise, maybe someone super over the top like Lordi or even GWAR would be awesome!

9. Who not?

We’ve been hearing lots of bad things about that Adolf Hitler guy, so we’re gonna have to go with him.

10. Have any of you ever suffered from stage fright? Any tip for beginners on how to beat that?

I personally have never really suffered from stage fright. The other guys might have from time to time, but if so I’ve never noticed. I think it really helps to be on stage with other people who you can sort of relying on if shit hits the fan. If you’re a solo act, however, then I guess I suppose you’d just have to embrace the fear – let the adrenaline work for you.

11. What bands have inspired you the most?

Hard to say, my influences vary greatly as time goes on. Personally, if I had to pick one I’d say Devin Townsend – mainly because his catalog of work is so vast and varied, and it’s all amazing.

12. What's the weirdest thing a fan has ever asked you for?

Whilst we definitely have our share of weird and creepy fans, I can’t recall them making any weird requests. I’m sure it must have happened, but it’s usually them approaching us with weird anecdotes really.

13. What do you think of your fans?

They’re dope. It gives us all immense joy when someone comes up to us and tells us how much our music meant to them. We always try and make sure all our fans are heard when they approach us because they’re all worth it

14. What do you think of our site?

I think this is the second time you’ve featured us so you must be doing SOMETHING right 😉 Joking aside, it’s great – we need websites like this to help spread the music around. So, thanks!

15. Something to add?

First off, well done for reaching the end of this read – I can’t imagine it was an easy task. Secondly, please check us out on www.novacrowofficial.com and pre-order yourself a copy of our upcoming debut album ‘Look At Me Now’. We can SCIENTIFICALLY GUARANTEE that you’re gonna love it.
