A lunch with Symbols of Supremacy

After discussing when to have an interview with the Antibodies a cry of ‘We want an interview too! We just as good as them!’ Came from Symbols of Supremacy and hence we have this interview. Held in the sociology room at Highfields there really wasn’t too much that could go wrong nor could these overactive individuals get themselves into too much trouble. With the lack of alcohol and other substances we were aiming for a ‘normal’ and ‘subdued’ interview…………………

sos-tiff

Before we start on the interview I’ll take some time to introduce the band to you. Jonny-lead vocals, Hardy -guitar, Tiff-drums, Sam-guitar and Smiley-bass. After a rather heated debate it was decided that the band had been together for 6 months and even then Joe wanted it to recorded as six and a half. (already I could see this being a challenge)

‘So for people that haven’t heard your material what would you describe it as’

Everyone: R&B, techno.

Hardy: no seriously……….. Rock/funk.

Who would you say are your main influences ?

(suddenly everyone had an opinion and arguments start as to whether the listed bands do influence them. In the end nearly everyone picks their own choice)

Metallic, Chilli’s, Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin were finally short listed .

‘Did your Mums go to your first gig?’

Sam: mine did yer.

Tiff: so did mine.

Hardy: my mum took me but didn’t stay.

Smiley: my guardian did!!!!!

What was your most embarrassing moment as a band?sam-sos

Snapping two G-strings was the overall response.

Jonny: When we had to dance with the audience. Then Smiley shouts out : When the amp kept cutting out!!!

Tiff: That because you plugged it in wrong!!!

What was your first gig like?

Everyone decided it was ‘reasonable’ whatever that means.

Sam: the second one was the best

So it’s been downhill since then?

Sam: Yerp pretty much. Ohhhh we did get better at one point but then we went back down hill.

Any pre-gig rituals?

Nope not really.

Jonny: the odd shag but no.

(May we take this opportunity to point out that in no way do we encourage underage sex.)

What would be a typical band practise of Symbols of Supremacy?

Smiley: Kicking footballs, swearing, smoking and drinking.

Everyone: Everything but playing instruments.

sos-jackDo you write your own material and do you play them at gigs?

Hardy: well we’ve written 6

Jonny: we prefer to play original stuff

Smiley: YER!

Where do you all see yourselves in 5 years time?

Smiley: Dead!

Hardy: on the pavement

Jonny: I think Joe will be deported!!

Smiley: yer I want to change mine to deported.

What would be your response to someone who doesn’t like your music?

Unanimously: F*** off and piss off!

Smiley: I like piss off better.

How do you deal with groupies?

Jonny: Spend 5 minutes with them and move off.

Smiley: Get them pregnant and move on!

What TV show would you most likely appear on?

Taking the question seriously…..

Sam: Family Guy

Hardy: Euro trash.

Are you boxers or commando type of people?

All: Commando

Smiley: thongs

Jonny: what we should have said was you’ll have to find out for yourself.

Who out of the band is…..?

Moodiest: Smiley.

Poshest: Jonny. (Jonny: really?! Nooooo)

Smelliest: Tiff or Sam

Creative: Hardy (voting himself)

Quiet: Sam

Embarrassing: Smiley or Hardy.

 

And the final task for the poor interview was to try and get photos of the band all in the same shot which proved to be interesting. They clearly don’t realise what ‘your not in the shot means’ nor were they too happy when they were informed that keeping their clothes on was a must and that preferably they didn’t pull moony’s we eventually we got a picture.
