Die Reise von Carson begann bereits 2011 in Neuseeland, wurde dann durch Sänger und Gitarrist Kieran Jones in die Schweiz importiert und in Luzern zur Schweizer Band formatiert. Nach diversen Tourneen und Festival auftritten (u.a. mit Karma To Burn, Elder und Up In Smoke Festival) meldet sich die Band im April mit einem neuen Album zurück namens „The Wilful Pursuit Of Ignorance“. Passend dazu haben wir Carson ein paar Fragen gestellt.
Frontstage Magazine: How are you?
Kieran: Fuckin amazing.
Frontstage Magazine: What does „THE WILFUL PURSUIT OF IGNORANCE“ mean to you?
Kieran: Mankind’s talent for turning a blind eye to all the atrocities in the world. Both humanitarian and environmental.
Frontstage Magazine: Which track means the most to you?
Kieran: My favourite track is the title song. It kicks ass.
Frontstage Magazine: How does the different backgrounds (New Zealand and Switzerland) of the band members influence your music?
Kieran: We’re lucky enough to have a Swiss band with an authentic English vocalist.
Frontstage Magazine: Now it is gradually possible to play „real“ concerts again. What are you looking forward to the most?
Kieran: Playing in front of people and seeing all the other great bands we will get to play with.
Frontstage Magazine: Do you have a „favourite live song“ that is just the most fun or works best with the audience?
Kieran: Chlorine Boogie from our first album. That one always goes down really well in our home town. Its nice to have them singing along.
Frontstage Magazine: What are your further plans for this year?
Kieran: We have 2 tours with Siena Root, in total about 4 weeks long. And another one with Deville for about 2.5 weeks. Also lots of one off shows in Switzerland, a few festivals in Europe, and the release show for ‘The Wilful Pursuit of Ignorance’ is on the 28th May in Lucerne, Yeah!
Frontstage Magazine: Thank you very much for the interview!
Kieran: Thank you very much for your interest in our band! Hope to see you on the road!
