SXSW With: The Ninth Wave
The Ninth Wave Words by Elena Katrina Having played a intimidatingly good show at The British Music Embassy the previous evening, I was a little nervous to meet and interview The Ninth Wave. I’m just not cool enough to deal with their level of interesting. However, having (hopefully) broken the ice by challenging them to … Continue reading
SXSW With: Lucia
Lucia Words by Elena Katrina I’ve been a fan of Lucia for a while now and missed them when they played SX last year. I then made it my mission to see them live and did this by witnessing a terrifyingly assured show at The Great Escape. I mean, frontwoman Lucia is terrifying on stage … Continue reading
SXSW With: Cassia
Cassia Words by Elena Katrina I first saw Cassia play around 2 and a half years ago for Off The Record festival in Manchester. They were nervous, to say the least and gave a performance that only hinted at what was to come. Since then they’re built up an army of fans and have an … Continue reading
SXSW With: Island
Island Words: Elena Katrina Photo: Thibaut De Lestré I’ve been a fan of Island for a while and I’ve had the pleasure of hanging with them before but this is our first interview – madness right?

SXSW With: Anteros
Words and Photos: Elena Katrina Sitting at Vevo House – the venue which is about to become our most used venue to hang with bands – I get to meet Anteros… finally.

Interview: Ten Tonnes
TEN TONNES Words & Photos: Gary Lambert Ten Tonnes has been a favourite of Popped Music for quite some time, so getting an interview with him in the dressing room of Manchester’s Deaf Institute brought about quite a bit of friendly jealousy and gifs of fist bumps from the team. After meeting him, I can … Continue reading
Interview: The Silver Field
The Silver Field Words: Julia Grantham As I sat, quietly, sipping my one alcohol drink for the evening; I felt calm as I waited for Coral Rose of new band The Silver Field to walk into the bar and meet me. The evening was a dark, cold, Sunday night in central York and the venue … Continue reading
Interview: Indigo Velvet
Indigo Velvet Words: Sammy Sadler I caught Indigo Velvet at Kendal Calling last year and I’ve been a fan of their vibrant, sunkissed indie-pop ever since. They are quite literally what I would call “the perfect festival band” – at Kendal Calling the rain started to pour and they brought so much sparkle and infectious energy … Continue reading
Interview: Bloxx
Bloxx Words: Daniel Burton Photography: Gary Lambert The last time I saw Bloxx they were in the middle of putting on a sensational performance in a barn in the middle of the countryside. It wasn’t an off-the-cuff thing, but a cracker of a set at 110 Above Festival. Even in the short time since then … Continue reading
Our Girl Interview
Our Girl Words: Elena Katrina & Gary Lambert Photos: Gary Lambert The last time Popped Music were with Our Girl it was in the warm (but breezy) Texan sunshine of SXSW.
