As the band Gold Scars walk into the room, It’s immediately obvious that they are cocky and rebellious. Since last year, they have released an album ‘Bullet’ and become the fastest selling indie band since Oasis back in the 90s. A recent reader polls suggests that they are one of the most popular bands at the moment and this is mostly down to their following online. The band have reached out to fans in their social media site, such as Facebook, Twitter (where they have started the odd scuffle with other bands and even risked legal action) and posting cryptic YouTube clips of their shenanigans. We met up with them to find out what their secret Is.
What’s the story behind the title ‘Bullet’?
Jason: Well, there’s a song on the album called ‘War’ which reflects our thoughts about war and the recent situation in Afghanistan. We think that it’s wrong because the government is after money and oil and doesn't care about the real cost paid by the British public. ‘Bullet’ tells the story about a soldier who fought there and experienced terrible things, the bullet going through him represents how he was forced into the situation and how people are manipulated into fighting for ‘ honor’ which I don’t really get to be honest.
So how did you guys meet?
Amy: Well, Jason and I went to the same school in Hove and from a young age, we knew that we got each other and we like the same kind of stuff. We used to listen to The Smiths, The Cure, anything which had an edge to it. We’d sit on the bus with our stereos and cause chaos. The old people really hated us for it!
How did you guys first get famous?
Adam: Well, we used to play gigs in pubs, clubs and at our college and after that we got signed to a record label, we all started to become good friends then we had one massive live performance at the O2 and it all went really well from then, we started getting a lot of followers on the social network.
What are your plans for 2013?
Billy: We’re going to be touring the UK from next month, starting in Bolton and ending up in Inverness. After UK domination, we plan to hit America where we will release our album and see how it goes down. We’ll be spending time in the studio recording some new material; we want to create a new sound. We really like The White Lies because they have a different Indie vibe. Adam has suggested that we branch out more into different types of percussion and have a heavier bass guitar in our music.
So Amy, what’s it like being the only girl in the band?
Amy: It’s not that bad! The boys are great although they have their moments. Sometimes I get fed up on tour because they tease me and protest against my beauty products but I just tell them to stick it!
Which other bands, other than The White Lies, are you guys into?
Amy: I love Green Day because Billie Joe Is kinda crazy and is fun to watch on stage. The Killers are awesome; I went to their gig at the O2 last week and I thought there energy was mind blowing!
Jason: I like San Cisco, an Australian band who seem pretty neat.
Billy: Palma Violets
Amy: Yeah, we’d love them to support us one day, we’ll see.
So why did you call the band Gold Scars and who came up with it?
Adam: Well it all started when Jason was drunk, I know it sounds bizarre but its true we wanted to make a band name and we could not think of anything so it was Jacobs Idea to write down band names, one each and put them in a hat and the first name we draw we kept.
Amy: Yeah so I got to go first and I picked out Gold Scars. At the beginning we didn't think much of that name but it grew and grew I guess.
Thanks for having you guys on the show! Good luck in the future
Jason: Thank you and see ya later!
