More Interviews
Empire! Empire! (I Was A Lonely Estate)
Empire! Empire! (I Was A Lonely Estate) are one of my favourite indie rock bands at the moment, so it was somewhat of a privilege to have this interview. Singer & guitarist, Keith Latinen took the time out of his busy schedule to put my mind at ease by answering some my queries.
Japandroids
“Post-Nothing” has been on constant rotation at home, so I thought it’d be nice to quiz the guys on their current tour of the UK and what they have been listening to lately.

Bangers
