The Interiors
An astounding three weeks ago, I got an e-mail from the drummer for Chicago’s The Interiors, talking about his band (obviously) and how I should give them a listen. Like any other self-respecting music blogger, I was morally obligated to oblige (alliteration unintended) and found myself enjoying their rocking songs thoroughly. If you’re one of those intrepid souls who downloads and listens to songs in the order they’re given, don’t let I’m So Happy throw you for a loop, since while that song is overtly bluesy rock, the rest aren’t. Something that shows up throughout all their tracks, however, are some of the most socially conscious lyrics outside of vintage punk rock. On You Should Have Known, they sing “Never thinking what’s it for / You’re only thinking the pay is so good.” Modern times just got zinged.
This is another instance of a band without a released album and, as such, no album art. So, enjoy the live photo that is used in its stead. I should mention that while they’re using Let Us Crazy! as a tentative album title, it should be used as T-Rex would be pleased. I don’t need to mention something about enjoying the music because you’ll do that on your own.

Hugh! I like them lots. And how did they find the site, do you know? Pretty fantastic, if you ask me (which you didn’t but I don’t even care). Any idea when their cd will be out?
Supposedly he came across our blog! A cop-out answer to your SECOND question is “When it’s done.” Because they don’t know either. Maybe they will come themselves and illuminate this niggling issue for us!
Hi all! Hugh, thanks for the post, and Katy, I’m glad you like it. Indeed, the CD will be out “when it’s done” – and only after we find a suitable label. We will, however, send on more tracks soon. Oh yes, we have tweaked some of the mixes and those will be available on our site by 8.30.
Cheers,
Brian / The Interiors
