Highlights
Jen introduces Raw Sound TV, highlighting it as the best live music show on the internet for discovering up-and-coming bands. The episode, filmed from their Birmingham studio, will feature performances from The Stripes and Skullduggery. The Stripes kick off the show with their song 'Something New'.
After The Stripes' performance, the show transitions to Skullduggery performing their track 'Dr Death'.
Jen interviews The Stripes, who traveled from Southampton. They discuss their formation in 2023, their dynamic as a band, and the upcoming release of their debut EP on October 11th, which features five tracks reflecting their initial songwriting efforts. They also share plans for recording new music and aiming for festivals next year.
The Stripes answer a series of rapid-fire questions covering their dream festival (Glastonbury), pre-gig rituals (Jägermeister), hobbies (football), guilty pleasure artists (Sabrina Carpenter), worst aspects of gigging (carrying equipment), creative inspirations (other music, life), and other random facts including who the worst dresser is (Kai).
The Stripes return to the stage to perform their second song of the night, 'The Situation'.
Jen interviews Skullduggery, who formed in 2018 under a different name before becoming Skullduggery in 2022. They share insights into their band's evolution, the meaning behind their name ('getting up to no good'), and lessons learned, emphasizing the importance of social media. They also discuss the progression of their music, contrasting their 2020 EP and 2022 album with their latest 2023 album, where they focused more on lyrical depth and thematic consistency.
Skullduggery participates in a rapid-fire question round, revealing their choices for actors to portray them (Johnny Depp, Christoph Waltz, Tom Cruise, Zendaya), the biggest joker in the band (everyone), desired superpowers (teleportation, printing money), best gigs (Metallica, Nickelback), biggest ego (Eddie), ice cream flavors, their band motto ('Sure, die.'), admired musicians (all of them), belief in ghosts, favorite cities, recommended albums, and desired instruments to play.
Skullduggery closes the show with a performance of their song 'Perfect Enemy'. Jen thanks the audience and announces the next episode on October 20th.
