As one of the most exciting recent bands to come out of the DIY garage rock movement that is exploding in the US right now, in this interview with Bitchslap, Screaming Females talk about making their own records, booking their own tours and why America produces such great rock and roll. We grabbed a few minutes of their time at this years Roskilde Festival.

It was a good show. For six wrinkly old buggers, Maiden are surprisingly agile. I took note of the rather homo-erotic display of flexibility, the David Lee Roth spandex stretches…
I went to the Satanic Disco and I had a good time.
I confess, I had never heard of Ghost before I went to see them. I just knew that they were meant to be evil. The promo snaps of the band in the Roskilde Festival guide were enough to convince me that they were definitely worth seeing. Satanic version of the Pope? Yes Please! Sorry MIA. The Dark Prince pulls me over once again. Continue Reading →
“We’re gonna keep on making music even if the crowd gets smaller. We’re doing it because we love to do it, because we have to express ourselves, because that’s who we are. That’s what we’re going to keep doing and to have people who are excited about and love it and want to hear what you’re doing and are curious, that’s just an extra kick”

Iron Maiden weren’t down for interviews this year so we took to the moshpit queue to get a taste of what the fanswould ask given the opportunity to pop 1 question.
For some reason I can smell the presence of the dark prince at Roskilde this year; I can sense the dark bastard.

Whatever is out there, it sure as hell smells of Satan.

Sweaty, hairy guys in big black coats wearing boots as heavy as concrete. Pale girls in short skirts, dark hair and funky eyebrows. Vikings, emos, punks and kiddos. Copenhell started yesterday and this is (somewhat) what it looked like.
