Hi there. Who am I talking to and what do you do in Twinspeak?
Hey. I’m Trav, the drummer and comedian of our five-piece indie-rock collaboration.
Let’s talk about the single, Young Fuzz. Can you tell us about the story behind the song?
Our guitarist Mark started writing it while in the studio recording our EP last year. The song came together pretty quickly once we all got in on it. Caleb wrote the song about growing up with his best friend and neighbour when he was seven over in Western Australia.
In terms of production, it’s all been handled by yourselves. What made you opt for this approach?
We had recorded with a producer on our EP and really enjoyed the experience. This time we thought we’d try it all ourselves to make sure we keep as much of our personality in it as we can. The finished product turned out great, we’re super proud of it.
Have you got any tracks on reserve to follow up Young Fuzz, or are you pumping them out as you’re recording them?
We have a few songs floating around, enough for another EP or album if we’re feeling saucy enough. But for now we’re going to go down the road of record-then-release for the moment.
You’ve got your launch coming up at Bar Open this weekend. Is there anything special up your sleeve?
I was going to borrow Tommy Lee’s rotating drum kit, but sadly it was booked out this weekend. Luckily we’ve got tons of old tracks that we haven’t played in forever and a cheeky new cover.
