Few bands have ever jumped so immediately and unexpectedly into the spotlight than the band Impaired. Hailing from the northeast town of Darlington, their rise into musical mediocrity has been far from restricted and they have given me and Crescendo magazine an exclusive interview with the entire band.
Lead singer and rhythm guitarist Rhys described their sudden rise to fame as sudden and that he never expected a simple YouTube video to snowball into a record deal. “it really was incredible, that’s the beauty of the system nowadays.
It doesn’t matter where you put it on the Internet as long as people are willing to accept new music. The possibilities are endless”
The possibilities were indeed endless for Impaired who now have a record deal with Big Time Record Co. an album and tour on the way and more money than they could have ever dreamed of. And if their Internet success is anything to go by then they could very well be huge.
The drummer for Impaired, Jules talks of the struggles faced with touring for the first time and studio recording. “Yeah it’s been a lot to get used to. But it’s what we’ve all been dreaming about for years and making your music and playing it to everyone is just what it’s all about”
Now their first tour is lined up to take them around the world with rock veterans The Who, it seems the relentless insurgence of Impaired will carry on and on. “Well they’re legends aren’t they. They probably just think we’re upstarts trying to steal their thunder” said Rhys when asked about their tour. “If we could even be half as good as The Who we’ll be set for greater things”
Please take sometime to marvel at their Internet success by going to YouTube and searching for Impaired. Just see how many hits you get. This interview was brought to you by Crescendo magazine. For exclusive videos of this interview check out our website at crescendomusic.co.uk
