What does Collision mean to you? Why this title?
It’s a word that hits hard as soon as you hear it. There’s no escape, no getting away from a collision. We’ve all been in bands for years but had taken a few years break from the scene before making this EP. We knew we needed to make music again, regardless of what was happening in our lives, and it took a collision of all of our paths to make it happen.
What is your favourite track and why?
As I’m guessing most band dudes say, it’s so hard to pick a favourite, but I’d have to go with Escape. It starts of very soft, but builds to a slow, heavy groove. It’s one of the songs we wrote very early on, but I love the way the chords move and the dynamics between the soft moments and heaviness. Vocally it’s honest and universal – the way we like it!
You recently released your debut video Selfish Control, can you explain the concept behind the visual?
The best way I could explain the concept is that there isn’t one! So many videos are way too ambitious and get convoluted by subtext, actors, story-lines and stuff. We wanted a slick, simple , less-is-more video showing us doing what we do – nothing more, nothing less. We’re not a rock’n’roll party-type band, we’re also not a high-concept experimental band. I think we captured the straight-up, song-oriented style of Moments Apart. We worked with a very talented director, Daniel Nolan and he achieved exactly what we were after.
What are your plans for the future?
Get this EP out to as many people as possible, continue playing live and hopefully work hard enough to create some good opportunities. I think it’s important to have a work ethic and make the most of what you’ve got. Above all that though, we just want to continue enjoying what we do.
MOMENTS APART are launching their Debut EP Collision at The Evelyn Hotel on Saturday November 10 featuring Heaven The Axe, Ten Thousand, The Vendettas and Copse.
