Guts one of the coolest rock’n’roll bands out right now and are from Switzerland. Seriously these guys are good. Check them out.
1. How did guts form?
Our journey started at school, two passionates playing blues and rock together in their room.
2. Are you surprised at the response to the music so far?
The music world is pretty difficult. We have to work hard, do our best to make what we like to do. The music is inside everyone. No matter the style of it, people are happy to be transported and feel the energy of the songs.
3. How does a song start for the band?
The songs are inspired by real life events / stories.
4. Do you guys write in the moment or when inspiration hits?
There is no good or bad time to compose. Sometimes it just pop-up in your head and sometimes you have to work a bit deeper, try things again and again.
5. What has been your favourite live show to date?
Each of them, we would say. Some of them were a bit chaotique but there are always some goods. Playing in huge festivals in front of thousand people is amazing but it is also nice to be closer to the crowd and share some precious time with people
6. Has Switzerland dug what you guys do or are you finding that more people from out the country are more?
Switzerland is a quite interesting country. We have three different parts and each of them has another language. Each region has another music style they like and also don’t really share stages with people coming from another parts. The crowd is also exigent so it is a good school to learn how to cheer them. Unfortunately, if you want to have more chance to develop your music, you have to cross the borders, no other choices.
7. If you could have the ultimate line up who would be on it?
We don’t think we have an ultimate line-up in which we would be. We would like to have the chance to play as much as we can and make people feel our energy in the whole world. Of course, to share the stage with huge names of Rock’n’roll would be crazy!
8. Do you have any albums in the pipeline?
We are always working on new tracks and having new ideas. We are just waiting for the good time to record and release a new album. We have released our second album “Dirty Squeeze” last fall 😉
9. Do you think social media has helped the band?
Social media is a very tricky one haha. We are not very good at it. lol.. It demands to be more on internet than playing for real which is a bit sad.
10. What next for the band ?
Playing playing playing. We are preparing next year show season, trying to find gigs and complete our calendar as much as we can. We are also trying to find new ideas for the fans, improving our shows and why not finding collaborations.
