We caught up with Hannah and Abbe from SOUND OF THE SIRENS ahead of the release of their new album and headline UK tour....
Would you believe it, 4 years have passed since we last chatted to SOUND OF THE SIRENS so it was high time we got together for a natter. We arranged to meet at the Exeter Phoenix at 7pm sharp….at 7:10, they burst through the doors apologising that they couldn’t work out the car park machine and that they had tried to call me but got through to someone called Jamie instead…..NOW, either they mis-dialled or someone called Jamie stole my phone (temporarily) and answered it when Hannah called and then somehow managed to slip it back into my pocket just before the ladies arrived at the venue, my money is on option 1!
After a HUGE bowl of chips (thanks to the lovely Gill from DMF) and a couple of glasses of ‘Bucks Fizz’ (Christmas leftovers), we found an unused side room at the Phoenix and pulled up some chairs and got down to it. Please click the play button below to hear the entire interview.
