LOCAL rockers Instill are making a statement of intent with latest EP, The Hooligan Factor. The four-piece unleash their new material on May 14 on Fudgeworks and hope to reveal the darker side of the music industry.
“Today the music world is built around this idea of ‘going on a show, being judged, and getting almost instant fame’ whereas a real rock ‘n’ roll band will know what it is to travel the long road,” says Alan of Instill.
The band has a passion for performing live and a down to earth attitude towards their career.
“Honestly?” says Alan.
“Just to get ourselves known to the wider music industry, rather than as just another band on the local gig scene, and hopefully make the next step up on the touring ladder. That’s what it’s all about, we’re a live band, we love playing live. But I probably shouldn’t say this, if no one bought the EP and we still somehow managed to get onto a nationwide or European tour in a support slot to a decent band, then I’d be more than happy.”
