We spoke to Devon band Brookyln this week. The lads recently released new single 'Ashleigh',  which possesses a similar sound and style to that of The 1975 and this band have certainly got a bright future ahead of them. Due to this we caught up with Brooklyn and grabbed an interview:

1) Who are Brooklyn?

Jack on drums, Alex on bass and Josh plays guitar and sings

2) You recently released new single 'Ashleigh', tell us a little about that?

Yeah so I mean the whole song came about listening to Prince's 'I Would Die 4 U' and we really got inspired on that whole album. Around late 2013, Josh was writing a lot of very personal lyrics, scribbles and drafts, that he never really thought to use, but always kept titled under highlighted events and so this was a pretty perfect fit to use its types of lyrics for the song, Josh fell in love with the idea of a happy pop song with the twist of quiet sad story behind it. thats what we tried to in vision in our music video, It's your basic love triangle, but it's however you interpret it, we don't want to take that away from anybody, it's yours.

3) Favourite gig of which you've played?

None as of yet but thats about to change.

4) Where do you see yourselves in 5 years time?

I think playing Glasto, or is that pushing it, ha.

5) What's next for Brooklyn?

We're releasing another song for free named 'Car' on Monday 16th, we hope this song won't make people blueprint who they think we are, and late summer releasing our EP but can't give anything away as of yet.

Big thanks to Brooklyn for the interview.
