Young Knives Are Wrong 'Uns And They Know It...
The story behind this interview lies in the lyrics to the Young Knives' last single 'Up All Night'. That sneering, sighing, tumbledown breakdown bit where sarcastic Henry sings "what's the point, what's the point, what's the point?" is a great eye-poking, mutinous stroppy pop moment. So I wanted to find out exactly how disobedient and grumpy the band are as people.
What I will say at this point is that Henry won the race before we'd even started, by wandering off just before we were due to start the interview and not coming back at any point. But Thomas (high-pitched voice, used to be called House Of Lords) and Oliver (deep voice, drummer) proved to be pretty blimming rebellious too, I can tell you.
Or ...
My favourite moment is the bit where I ask them if they have ever rioted, and Thomas thinks a second and then says "tell you what I DID do...", as if what he turned out to have done is in any way comparable to being in a riot.
