We Are Z - Goldigaz

1.    Who are these rock’n’roll storm troopers?

We Are Z are an indie pop rock band with theatrical overtones. Flouncing out of London, England, but with four French members, they have been bringing joy to our lives since 2014 and have a handful of singles to their name. Goldigaz (Sept'16) is a stand-alone single at the minute but their is a debut album in the works.

2. What's this Goldigaz about then?

A bit of social commentary y'know? About the endless search for scratch. The tune has a carnival, vaudeville, sound, and bounces harder that a Thai teens tits at a Bangkok Coyote bar. 

3. Who do We Are Z sound like?

Felix Hagan and The Family. Brings. Devo.

4. What have the capitalist lapdogs in the press said about Goldigaz?

“Undeniably unique” – Gig Wise. 

“Ecstatic dizzy joy with darkened eerie and mysterious undertones” – Indie Buddie. 

“Oozing with instrumental flair” – Press Party.

5. Which bands have put the flash into We Are Z?

Some of the bands that have inspired We Are Z are Devo, The Talking Heads, Vampire Weekend, Metronomy and James Brown.

6. Why should I give Goldigaz a geez?

One of these tunes is not like the others. It's Goldigaz.

7. Do We Are Z have any more of these lush treasures?

Sure as shit they do. Airbrush has a word about vanity and beauty obsession while bringing a thin rock wedge to play. Knucklehead has a 80's Duran Duran-esque bombast to it. Fucking gems. No word of a lie.

8. Any more words kind sir?

The bass and keyboard player, Archie, is a seasoned session musician who has put in the hard yards for Beyonce and Pharell Williams among others.

“Listen up monsters to the tale I tell,

Every lost souls on the road to hell”

Dreamers are an alternative rock band from Brooklyn, New York, by way of Seattle. Belting out the tunes since 2014 they have one long player under their belts. Dreamers are similar to Young The Giant, New Politics or Imagine Dragons. They are influenced by The Smiths, Arctic Monkeys, Weezer and Iggy Pop. Wolves (You Got Me) (2014) was their debut single and, as is so often the case, the cream of the crop. Wolves (You Got Me) is a catchy tune without too much polish that Pop Matters said“is able to rise above the masses.”

“You got me brainwashed, you got me so lost,

You got me fucked up like you”
