Emo guys are ready for album recording session
Finding Emo
TRIO, Finding Emo are preparing to record their first album after less than nine months together.
Scott Parry, Tom West and Johnny Taylor who only formed in January, have played a handful of gigs to date and are through to the next round of the Battle of the Bands at the Vanilla Lounge.
The band have secured an eight day slot in October at Jaraf House recording studios with Tansads singer, John Kettle.
Scott, 23 is the bass player and lead singer.
He said: “Working with John Kettle is going to be so good, he is so enthusiastic about everything.
“Some people who have recording studios are just interested in running a business, but he isn’t, he’s really keen.
“The album will really be full of energy and it’s going to be a little bit cheeky.”
The group who say they could be considered as a cross between Arctic Monkeys and Biffy Clyro are still deciding on a title for the album, although This Could Go Tragically Wrong seems to be a winner.
Scott of Springfield said: “We have been throwing around a lot of suggestions for our album title but we seem to like this because this is something I seem to say before every gig.
“At one point, we wrote loads of songs all at once and then just started playing them without much practise and I just started saying it to the audiences at our shows.”
While deciding on the all-important title, the three-piece still have plenty of songs to sift through to see which makes the cut.
Scott said: “Our sound has really evolved since we got together, we are more like pop-punk now.
“We feel like we can’t really be pigeonholed but, if we are, then so be it, we’re just making music because we love it.
“Although we would probably say we are like a mix between Arctic Monkeys and Biffy Clyro.
“We definitely have about three or four songs that we want putting on the album but we also have quite a few other songs that are really different to our current sound.
“They are a real contrast but we think we are still going to include them on the record because it shows people that we can sound different and that we are not just a generic sounding band.
“Then we want to send out the album to lots of different record labels and just get it out there.”
The three lads met at Today’s Community Church on Pottery Road and despite there being a six year age gap between Scott, Tom and Johnny, the new band work well together with Scott acting as boss when he needs to.
Scott said: “We have all been good friends for quite a few years, and even though the other two are only 17, we get on really well.
“There are times when it’s obvious they are younger than me but I never get mad or annoyed because I can be quite daft too.
“I always think back to when I was in a band at 16 with my older brother, I don’t want to be bossing them around all the time.”
Contrary to what people may think, Finding Emo don’t live up to their name, and are not confined to the emo gang.
“We’re not depressing or emotional like that at all.
“People might get confused with our name but it’s just a cool play on words,” added Scott.
Finding Emo’s next gig will be at Zanzibar in Liverpool on Friday, September 10.
