We caught up with Venture this week, the 5 piece fronted by Lucy Burrows have recently been signed up by ScreamLite Records and were willing to chat to us about it as well as a little on themselves. 

1 Who are Venture?

Venture are; Lucy Burrows on vocals, Miles Burrows on guitar / vocals, Mike Hargreaves on drums, Josh Fairhurst on bass and Thom Mutch on guitar.

2 You've recently released your new EP, tell us a little about this?

Yeah, we released it about this time last year and the reception was phenomenal. We took a lot of time to get the songs sounding exactly how we had envisioned, and it paid off. The reviews have been nothing but positive which amazes us, and people are even still buying the thing, after a year!

3 You've also recently signed with ScreamLite Records, how did getting signed feel?

It was unreal, at the end of 2013 we said to ourselves, next year, we'll aim to get signed to an independent label, we thought the EP as a whole was more than good enough, so we set to work writing to every label we could think of. Screamlite were lovely with us, talked us through everything we needed to know as amateurs and gave us a deal we couldn't refuse. The partnership we have with them is one I think a lot of bands would envy, everything gets discussed between us and them it's a really good relationship we have.

4 Where do you see yourselves in 5 years time?

Ideally we'll have an album or two out, and hopefully good ones! A few tours under our belt, hopefully get out of England once or twice. We just want to continue to make music, and Screamlite have given us that future. As long as the tunes are still good, and relevant, we'll keep writing them.

5 What's next for Venture?

We're recording a single in August, hopefully to be released before the end of the year. It's an absolute banger as well, so keep your eyes peeled.

Huge thanks to Venture for the interview.
