Riffed

BABIES chatted to us this week, though their name may be decieving, they're not actual babies. The three-piece from Hull are set to play Humber Street Sesh next Saturday, something of which RIFFED is very much looking forward to, and Babies also gave us their take on this years event as well as telling us a little about themselves. 

1 Who are BABIES?

Yo...BABIES are Ryan, Joe and Sam.

2 You've recently released new tracks, 'Plush' and 'Makeout', tell us a little about these?

Welll the 2 songs couldn't really be anymore different. When we did PLUSH we wanted to try and make something new sounding compared to 2048 and RUNFAST so we recorded it somewhere new and took a bit more time putting it together. I think we've all had moments were we are unsure about it but since its come out the response has been awesome.. I think most bands go through times of thinking they suck.. And if they don't, well then they do just probably suck MAKEOUT/BREAKOUT i think we recorded as a reaction to PLUSH being so produced and felt, I unno, a bit guilty about it. So we wanted to do something that was closer to our live sound. We recorded and mixed it ourselves and its pretty much just a live recording with some oohs and handclaps.

3 You're playing Humber Street Sesh this year, something of which we're very much looking forward to you, is it the same case for you?

We are STOKED to be playing Humber street.. We didn't apply to do it cos we were bizyy doing stuff and then got asked anyway so we was double stoked. Its just a sick day whether you play or not. And the atmosphere is so chillled. The guys who put it on have done such a great job. Were on early so hopefully we will catch a few passers by at that time..

4 Where do you see yourselves in 5 years time?

5 years is a ridic amount of time.. Probably serving someone chicken. Were having the best time at the mo, and we've got some coool stuff coming up so we just enjoy it. We just want to get better, we practice more than any band we know, we've done ok but we want to improve how we sound live a lot.

5 What's next for BABIES?

Wellll we have a few offers of bits from different people but we will wait and see. We'll probs head back in the studio. Wanna do something which makes people go "WOW"... that and get tattoos, and better gigs, and sun, yanow. Stuff.

Huge thanks to BABIES for the interview.
