Marking a Decade of Their Landmark Album: The Band Returns to Where It All Began
It’s been 10 years since the release of their groundbreaking album, and the band is ready to celebrate in a big way. They are returning to the city where it all began, Salford, and are set to perform in front of their loyal fans once again. I had the opportunity to sit down with Jeremy Pritchard, the bassist of the band, to talk about their journey, taking risks, and why Manchester’s music scene has always welcomed them with open arms.
As we sit in a cozy café in Salford, Jeremy reflects on the band’s humble beginnings. “We started out as a group of friends who just loved making music together. We never imagined that we would be where we are today, 10 years later,” he says with a smile. The band’s debut album, which was released in 2011, received critical acclaim and catapulted them into the spotlight. It was a defining moment for the band and marked the beginning of their successful career.
Now, a decade later, the band is back in Salford, the city where it all began. “It’s a full-circle moment for us,” Jeremy says. “Salford holds a special place in our hearts. It’s where we wrote and recorded our first album, and it’s where we found our sound.” The band is excited to perform in front of their hometown crowd once again and to celebrate this milestone with the people who have supported them from the beginning.
When asked about the secret to their success, Jeremy credits their willingness to take risks. “We’ve never been afraid to try new things and push ourselves creatively. We always want to evolve and grow as musicians, and I think that’s what sets us apart.” This risk-taking mentality is evident in their music, which seamlessly blends different genres and styles, creating a unique sound that is distinctly their own.
The band’s success is not limited to their music, as they have also made a significant impact on Manchester’s music scene. “Manchester has always been a hub for music, and we feel lucky to be a part of it,” Jeremy says. The city’s rich musical history and vibrant music scene have played a crucial role in shaping the band’s sound and have provided them with a supportive community of fellow musicians. “We’ve always felt welcomed and supported by the music scene here, and we are grateful for that,” Jeremy adds.
As we talk about the band’s journey, it’s clear that they have come a long way since their early days in Salford. They have released four successful albums, toured the world, and gained a dedicated fan base. But despite their achievements, the band remains humble and grounded. “We never take anything for granted, and we are constantly grateful for the opportunities we’ve been given,” Jeremy says.
As the band prepares to take the stage in Salford once again, they are filled with a sense of nostalgia and excitement. “It’s going to be a special night for us and our fans,” Jeremy says. “We can’t wait to celebrate this milestone with the people who have been there for us every step of the way.” The band’s return to Salford is not just a celebration of their landmark album, but also a celebration of their journey and the city that has played a significant role in their success.
In conclusion, the band’s return to Salford marks a decade of their groundbreaking album and is a testament to their hard work, dedication, and willingness to take risks. As they continue to evolve and push boundaries, one thing is for sure – their music will continue to captivate audiences and leave a lasting impact on the music scene in Manchester and beyond. Here’s to another 10 years of success for this talented and innovative band.
