NBHD MCR ARTIST CARD FEET 1x1

FEET are an indie band which provides so much to be excited about right now. Originality is at the forefront of everything they do, and with 5-years since their debut album, this year’s follow-up “Make It Up” can confidently be counted as one of the best albums of the year. With a healthy obsession over the track “Chalet 47” (see below) – the perfect example of the musicality flowing throughout this band, and in particular the delivery and swagger frontman George Haverson brings – this writer was absolutely thrilled to see them added to the lineup for NBHD 2024! And even more so when given the opportunity to speak to the band…

FEET – THE INTERVIEW

THE JOURNALIX: How did you come about naming the band FEET and why?

FEET: The band name comes purely out of spite to a previous member who thought FEET would be a terrible name.

THE J: Fair play. ⁠⁠What’s your elevator pitch for someone who asks about your music?

FEET: Low testosterone rock.

THE J: ⁠⁠Your first album at the end of 2019 received great reviews, but how did you manage to survive a global pandemic before returning with this year’s follow-up?

FEET: We spent every moment of the lockdown together. The band felt like a healthy outlet for all of us, even when we were at each others throats.

THE J: ⁠⁠Is it fair to suggest “Make It Up” reflects a change in who you were back when you released your debut?

FEET: I think ‘Make It Up’ highlights the journey we’ve been on in the past 5 years. A maturity in sound, but also a development in how we define ourselves comes through in the record. I hope…

THE J: Definitely! You provided the perfect soundtrack to a hot summer, was that your intention?

FEET: With a constant rise in global warming, supply and demand is working in full force.

THE J: The album closes with the beautifully melodic Goodbye (So Long, Farewell) – was it written about the experiences of touring in a band?

FEET: Pretty much nail on the head there. The ferry back from Calais always feels like a moment of reflection.

NBHD 2024

THE J: Who else are you looking forward to watching at NBHD 2024?

FEET: We know the Chappaqua Wrestling lot so chances are you’ll see us bobbing along in the shadows of their set.

THE J: Do you know what to expect from this year’s festival?

FEET: I’ve always been a massive fan of the Manchester crowd, always a cracking atmosphere so I’m expecting a buzz.

THE J: With the return of our Manchester heroes, did you get a ticket for Oasis?

FEET: I’ll be chartering a plane to fly back and forth over the stadium, turns out it’ll be a-lot cheaper than buying an actual ticket.

THE J: We’ll try to remember to wave to you.
