Brisbane hard rock/alternative rock outfit Krave have been steadily building a name for themselves on the local scene and look to solidify that even further with the release of their latest single Puppet.
Vocalist/bass player Siana and drummer Sam joined HEAVY to chat about the new single and other exciting happening within the Krave camp.
"We were going for a hard rock vibe,” Siana explained of Puppet. “We love riffs in our band! When I was real young I wrote the song, so it was one of the first songs I wrote, and I brought it to the band. Sam has put an awesome spin on it with the drums."
"The drums are 60s psychedelic rock inspired but with a bit more of a hard rock feel,” Sam added. “It’s got a lot of little phrases in there that are interesting to people who like things like the Jimi Hendrix Music Experience and Deep Purple, so it was a drumming approach to that."
"It sounds really cool, because the bass and the guitar has got that hard rock metal vibe to it, so it's got a real cool fusion happening,” Siana picked up. “It's a really groovy song with a cool attitude - a bit of a Joan Jett kind of vibe. It's a sick song, full of energy and a sick solo with a bit of Steve Vai to it... it's reminiscent of that classic rock."
In the full interview Siana and Sam talk more about Puppet, run us through the lyrical side of the song, upcoming new music and when to expect it, structuring their assault on the metal world, touring and more.
