We have just been slowly getting bigger and bigger and the people who like us over here really get it. But it’s all word of mouth, and that’s the coolest part. But our fans here like the record and we seem to have made new fans from it so that’s all we can really ask for.Īndy: It’s weird because we don’t have any hits, and we have never like, caught a break over here. It doesn’t necessarily fit the mold of the music over here right now. Robert: Yeah, especially because we were worried because it’s a guitar heavy record. A good band that are easy to get along with and their awesome.ĪTP: It’s been 4-5 months since the release of 'Simple Math', how have you found the reaction to the album on tour? You’ve just got to be excited.ĪTP: How did the support from The Xcerts come about?Īndy: We just had a few people show us their music and a few mutual friends said they were really nice people and that is really what we look for. Robert McDowell (lead guitar): It becomes a job you like, but you can’t get nervous about it every day. There aren’t any more nerves for this show than there has been for any of the other shows we have played here. It’s been a steady movement forward.Īlter The Press: You’ve played big venues in the UK previously with Biffy Clyro and Kings of Leon but is are there any nerves going into headline shows like KOKO?Īndy: There are always nerves but it’s just part of the job. It’s out 11th time over here so it’s definitely taken a few trips but I don’t feel like we have ever gone back. Do you feel like your audience is constantly growing?Īndy: Yeah, it’s been a steady run. It’s been really cool to finally come over here and play some proper headlining shows in more than just London and Manchester and the crowds have been really cool, it’s been awesome.ĪTP: It feels like you really make an effort to get over to the UK, especially London and unsurprisingly Manchester. Whilst in the UK on their biggest headline tour to date, following the release of their third album ‘Simple Math.’ Alter The Press caught up with Atlanta's own, Manchester Orchestra prior to the band's sold out show at London's KOKO.ĪTP discussed the recording process and the UK’s reaction to ‘Simple Math’, a wealth of unreleased material, future plans which fans will be pleased to hear involves the recording of a second Bad Books album and the potential for a truck load of b-sides.Īlter The Press: How has the tour been going?Īndy Hull (vocals/guitar): Great, really great!
