For this task I chose to interview Blame The Object and conducted an iterview of the questions I asked them and the answers they gave me. I then took pictures of them so that I could choose one for my article and one for my contents page.

Interview questions and answers:

What made you want to form the band?
We all had a passion for music and enjoyed it so we decided to show everyone we enjoyed it  and develop Blame The Object in to a successful band that doesn’t take things too seriously so we can have fun as friends and as a band.

What sort of music do you play?
We like to play rock and indie music but I think that we should be more creative when making our own music because that will broaden our range of music and get a better audience of people.

Do you enjoy making your own music?
Yeah we love making our own music, although it is difficult the outcome is great because we get good feedback and that gives us the confidence to keep making more and more of our own stuff and will hopefully become bigger in the music business.

Do you hope that you will be more successful in the future?
We hope so. It is hard getting there but if we do get there then it will be great knowing that all of the previous support didn’t go to waste. To make it big I think we will have to experiment with music more and that is what we plan to do.

Do you ever have and argument at band practices?
Yeah, what band doesn’t it is hard for all of us to agree on the same things so we do have to compromise. We like to have a laugh most of the time so sometimes we don’t get anything done and that does annoy some people like Ben (laughs). But aside all of the disagreements we manage to pull it together and put on a great show.

When you started the band what did you aim to achieve?
When we first started we thought okay were not going to take this too seriously in case it doesn’t go well but when we realised it sounded good we hoped to get more fans and more gigs and hopefully a headline.

Do you find it hard to come up with a set list for each gig?
No. It isn’t too difficult, we just pick the songs we know and play well and practice until it sounds great we sometimes add it little things into songs to make them our own.

What is your inspiration?
Biffy Clyro, Nirvana, Pink Floyd, Kings of Leon, The Strokes, and Metallica. Bands like that.

Where do you think your band will be in 10 years?
Hopefully we will be successful if we all chose this as a career path and we will be going to different places in the country not just in our area. We want to be known in different parts of the country maybe even all over the world.

Do you get nervous before a gig?
Yeah. Only a little bit though then that turns into excitement because we have a great audience and we always get the crowd going and it turns out to be a great night.

Have you all been friends for a long time before you formed the band?
Yeah we all go to the same school and have been friends for a couple of years. I think it makes it easier to be a band when your all friends because there are not as many disagreements.

Would you consider yourself as a successful band and how?
I would say we are, not as much as we hope to be but that all comes in time. No one starts at the top, were going to have to work our way up to that.
