amazing ahaha!

I’ve been looking forward to this one! What an amazing emo band who everybody should check out! Here they are, Zola.

Hello Zola! Could you introduce yourselves and what you all do in the band and also explain how the band formed?

Hey, We are Lee on vocals, James on drums, Alex on bass and Lewis and I (Joe) on guitars.

We met and started at uni, we just wanted to make some music that was fun but not at the expense of songwriting, upbeat inventive guitar pop. so we sort of got together and started writing tunes and over time came up with a few we thought we’re good and just kept at it. 

I’m just going to start off by saying your new release “Gang” is so great! It’s got the best ending to an EP I’ve heard in a long time so thank you for that. But ignore me, have you had any positive feedback for the EP, what sort of reception have you got from your listeners?

Cheers! Shouting ‘Christmas’ repeatedly is always a good thing regardless if it’s out of season.

We’ve not had any reviews or anything yet for it but when ever we’ve been at shows and people have told us they’ve heard it, it they’ve been really kind and positive. Live the new tracks have been going down really well and that’s always comforting.

How has it been with Edils Recordings releasing your new EP?

Maaaaaan, they’ve been great. we’ve dealt with Phil a lot and he has been a hugely positive thing for the band. This new ep and the tour would not have happened with out his enthusiasm.

That’s something i think we all admire about EDiLS.

Where did the name Zola come from, Is there a story behind it?

We used to be named archives which is a bit bland and there’s about a million bands with that name plus Zola has more or a ring to it. It started off as a song we had before we adopted it as the moniker.

There’s just loads of references to go with the name from the writer to the footballer, a lot of people have a lot of different first thoughts when they hear it which is cool.

Do you feel like you’ve matured a lot musically since your first release “On Histories Of Childhood”?

Yeah definitely. Musically i think the ideas are a lot more realised, we’re a bit more aware of where we want to go and what to do. Combining hooks with a few curve balls. With the tune Zola we really nailed what i think we set out to do and we’ve just decided to keep on going in that direction.

Production wise after that EP we realised that recording it in stages and having it come out so clean didn’t suit us so we decided to cut everything live from then on and do it all in one day. The lo fi thing is a bit more of an honest appraoch and also we’re perpetually skint so it’s the natural choice.

Are you excited to be featured on the Party Wounds X Miss The Stars compilation? I know that the list of bands is up and theres some pretty big names for example: Prawn, Nai Harvest, Manbearpig and The World Is A Beautiful Place & I Am No Longer Afraid To Die. Who are you most excited about being on a compilation with?

We’re friends with the guys in Roots and Bonehouse (both are brilliant) so it’s good to be with them on it but to be honest just the fact it’s for such a good cause is enough for us. I met Andrew from Party Wounds at a gig we played in scotland and he was really complimentary after our set and was a real genuine guy so it’s real nice of him to keep us in mind when compiling this.

I know you’ve only just released “Gang” but is there any material in the works for another release soon?

we’re getting together to try and write some new tunes next week so fingers crossed for the summer. It’d be nice to have a new ep or something out, we seem to thrive of the summer vibe. we’ve got a load of ideas and different places we want to go with them so if it comes together it should be soon.

You’re playing with Prawn in June with that all important vegetarian barbecue correct? How stoked are you about that show?

Yeah! Our friends Papyer are playing that so we’re excited to see those rapscallions again. With all dayers what’s not to like? Food drink and good company all day it’s a great combination.

Do you have any other shows coming up apart from that one that you’d love people to attend?

We’ve been lucky to have some good shows we’ve just played like supporting johnny foreigner which was sick but as for the future we’re hoping for a weekend or two and maybe a tour.

This is your chance to give a shout out to any locals bands, bands your friends with, record labels or anybody else you feel the need to mention.

So many: Hat Dimension, Cry Wolf, Kappa Gamma, Blood Visions, Rhodes, fist in the air records, moshtache records.

Last question. If you could tour with any 4 bands to any 4 places where, who and why?

I can’t speak for everyone but i’m just going to say Algernon Cadwallder any where in europe. We’re hoping to go over there soon and Algernon are just incredible.

If not them the Maccabees or Little Comets any where. we’ve rinsed both their recent albums so much and live it would be awesome.

Cheers for the interest!
