DISTRICT 9

What inspired the name of the band and what are your influences?

We got the name from a movie we watched when we were quite young, a movie called District 9 which is quite an awesome movie. As for influences, we all grew up in quite musical households, our parents were playing bands like Rage Against The Machine, Lamb Of God, Ramstein, which were all inspirations for us.

What themes were explored on the record?

We never really planned to have a theme to run through the whole album, but there are some historical issues explored throughout the record, combined with modern issues as well, alongside some other songs.

NO SET PROCESS

What is your process for song writing?

We usually jam and then form a song from there, or we’ll write the lyrics and form a song from there. We don’t particularly have a set process for song writing.

What are your plans for the future?

We’ve got a few songs written down for a new record, so when we’re done touring Europe, New Zealand and Australia we’ll likely come back to them, fine tune them and then get down to recording.
