I was so happy when I heard Blazin Squad were making a comeback, back in the good old days when I was trying to be cool, there was nothing I liked more than Flip reversing, and meeting people at the Crossroads!
But now the boys are all grown up (and have cut their number in half) and are ready to unleash their new single Let’s Start Again on the British public… horray! So we caught up with the five fitties to find out what’s happening with them at the moment…
Hello there pretties, how are things going in your lovely world?
Kenzie: I’m good thank you! I’ve been busy promoting the band! Getting the love back! We’ve been out gigging, doing interviews, putting our video all over the TV! It’s really taken off so we’ve been working hard at it and spending time in the studio. It’s going really well you know, I’m happy.
We are proper 100% loving your super hot new single, Let‘s Start Again…tell us a bit about the inspiration behind it…
Kenzie: Well the new single…. Well, me and the boys were all right individually; Marcel and James have their own studio so we were up there writing and then us five came together and wrote this track. Obviously it’s based on a relationship, but it fits in well with the comeback so we think it works well there and we wanted to keep in with the urban poppy thing because it’s doing really well and we think we were kind of ambassadors of that back in the day so we feel like we’re picking up where we left of but a bit more maturely.
Aww, that’s awesome, we can’t wait!
Oh, thank you so much!
It’s quite alright, so you’ve had a couple of line-up changes, is it easier now it’s just the five of you?
Kenzie: yeah, well obviously it was the 10 of us and it made it a lot more difficult because we were all friends but now it’s totally about the music and we’ve worked really hard since we split up to establish whatever we were doing; whether that be solo projects or something else.
We thought we would work better as a five some since the split, I just feels right this time, it’s a lot easier with five.
And would you say you sound different now than when you first started?
Kenzie: Yeah, it’s more of a mature vibe now, I mean you can look at artists at 15 and 16 years old and there’s noone making mature music at that age, but we have no regrets, we thought we did really well for the position we were in and it was experience for us, we’ve been doing this for 10 years and it’s just all experience and we know what we’re doing now.
Everyone grows up you know, and we are aware that we’re going to be judged on the name of the single, but we just hope that when people hear it, and see the video, they’ll realise we’ve matured in more ways than one.
If you were going to give us just one song of yours to listen to so that you would become our new favourite band, what would it be?
Kenzie: For one song from Blazin Squad I’d have to say the new single; Let’s Start Again. Think it completely defines what we’re doing at the moment and shows the maturity and hopefully it will be our stepping stone to being very successful.
If you could cover another band’s song, what would it be?
Marcel: That’s a hard question, I don’t really want to cover anyone else’s music, I just like making my own.
And can you sum up your good selves in just five words?
Marcel: Mature, Epic, Semi-Urban pop music.
