Notable releases include the singles “Until Another Day” (2021) and “Rollercoaster” (2022).

Interview met Asgard Raven

Vertel eens iets over jezelf, wie ben je en waar kom je vandaan?

I’m Joe, lead singer, songwriter and guitarist. I’m from Hampshire in the UK.

Hoe is je passie voor muziek ontstaan? Wie zijn je idolen?

My passion for music started at an early age, listening to the Doors, Chuck Berry, Faith no more, sex pistols, old blues, and my bloody valentine. I loved the energy and emotion that music can give you. My real idols are the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Oasis and Puddle of Mudd, I’m a real rock n roller at heart!

Wat voor soort muziek maak je?

I make indie rock songs, influenced with a bit of punk, blues, Britpop and shoe gazing, which produces a unique and distinctive sound. I have written a mixture of acoustic songs, anthemic epics and some out and out bangers!

Wat is voor jou het belangrijkste nummer? Welke boodschap wil je overbrengen aan de luisteraar?

I have two at the moment. Light of My Life is a love song, written about a special lady who is always there supporting me, and saying what I find hard to say in real life. The other is For Us All, which talks about how we can’t always tell when people are struggling, but we can lean on each other and support each other.

Waarom zou een luisteraar die jou niet kent naar je muziek luisteren?

I make the music I love, I put my heart and soul into every track, and I love to feel the foot stomping vibe, the love and hope, and the power of music. If you too love rock and roll you’ll love these songs I’m sure, you have nothing to lose by giving it a listen!! Except a few minutes of your day!

Wat zijn je toekomstige projecten? Waar zie je jezelf over 5 jaar?

I’m releasing the last of 5 songs currently scheduled for this year, so will take a break for a couple of months and write some new tunes. I’m practicing my live performance so will be concentrating on that aspect for a while too, and I’m hoping to release more songs next year. In 5 years I hope to be playing lots of gigs, and to have a decent record deal, maybe even have a few fans!!

Vertel onze lezers een grappige gebeurtenis in je carrière als artiest.

On my next record which comes out in October, I wanted a whistle blast on it. I went and bought one and we tried it, then bought a load more – of course ended up recording the first one! It took us about 2 hours to record a one and a half second blast, couldn’t stop laughing it was so ridiculous – sounded awesome in the end though thankfully.
