Below is an email interview with The Dread Sky. All interviews are published unedited.

A blend of 70’s punk sensibility meets the grand drama of early British metal through the filter of literature and an  evolved social conscience

The Dread Sky – self titled full-length album: recorded at BJB, produced by the band and Burke Reid from Gerling, mixed by the legendary Scott Horscroft, mastered by Steve Smart at 301 and with artwork by Aria award-winning team Debaser – the result has exceeded our expectations and the process provided invaluable insight into the industry. Although it’s been a blur with seemingly no end in sight, we’ve all pulled through stronger as a band and a vastly tighter unit live.

Jeremy Hackett – Bass, Lead Vocal

Neale Brain – Guitars, BV’s

Trevor Anthoney – Drums

This isn’t a studio band nor is alternative rock an academic pursuit. These days, a band must do it all themselves. Without the live show, all else is pointless. It’s the all else that takes up most of the time, however and sometimes the forest is obscured. Onstage, the whole journey finally makes sense. So, yeah, live is what it’s all about for our sanity and for the fans but to do that, a lot of other work needs to be done first.

We’re seeking airplay through the usual channels, expanding our gigging footprint, preparing for an east-coast tour and plotting the insurrection that will be the album launch when all these ducks line up.
