We chatted to our December Artist of the Month, <\/span>AS DECEMBER FALLS, <\/b><\/a>about the release of their new live album, headlining <\/span>Rescue Rooms<\/b> plus their world-spread fans.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hey<\/b>\u00a0AS DECEMBER FALLS<\/b><\/a>! Big congrats on the release of your live album! It’s a bit of a milestone achievement – is it something you’ve always wanted to make?
\n<\/b>Some of our favourite records are live albums, capturing the energy of a show just has that magical element that studio recordings don\u2019t get! A lot of our fans are spread out across the world and we wanted to share the ADF live experience with them even if they can\u2019t make a show!<\/span><\/p>\n

Headlining Rescue Rooms is a huge moment for any Notts band, how did you find it?
\n<\/b>It was an amazing experience. We\u2019ve grown up watching bands on the stage and it was incredible seeing fans travel from all over the U.K. to come and see us.<\/span><\/p>\n

Asides from headlining RR, what’s been your favourite gig to play?
\n<\/b>We love playing MacMillan Festival every few years, it\u2019s always got an incredibly friendly atmosphere and the crowd is always incredible. It almost feels like playing to our family, all 200 of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

You’ve got fans all over the world, from Argentina to Australia – how have you grown such a widespread fanbase?
\n<\/b>As cliche as it sounds, it\u2019s literally just social media. Thanks to the internet, barriers of distance just don\u2019t exist anymore when discovering new music and we\u2019ve been very lucky.<\/span><\/p>\n

So we know you guys all met at NCN in the early days, was there a specific moment when you first realised that the band could really go far?
\n<\/b>We probably still haven\u2019t reached that moment. This industry is a massive gamble and if you\u2019re in it for the fame\/money you\u2019ll be sorely disappointed. We just love what we do and we\u2019ll take it as far as we physically can.<\/span><\/p>\n

You’ve had loads of great reception to your music, but what has been the thing that’s got you the most excited?
\n<\/b>Getting that first text from our parents going \u201cOMG YOU\u2019RE ON TV\u201d was pretty amazing. In all seriousness though, probably every time we meet a fan that has been overwhelmed to meet us or told us how much our music has affected them.<\/span><\/p>\n

How important has Nottingham and the Nottingham music scene been in helping you guys get to where you are now?
\n<\/b>Nottingham is always our best show on any tour, the love we get from our hometown can\u2019t be rivalled anywhere. We\u2019re very lucky to have such good venues and promoters that work hard with independent artists.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are there any Notts artists that you’re really loving at the minute?
\n<\/b>EYRE LLEW<\/b><\/a> are absolutely smashing it at the moment and we\u2019re really proud of those guys.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are your plans for 2018?
\n<\/b>We\u2019re just about finished writing the debut album. We\u2019re in the studio throughout Feb and March recording and are aiming for a fall release. We\u2019re going on tour as soon as we\u2019re out of the studio so keep your eyes open for some dates over Easter.<\/span><\/p>\n

AS DECEMBER FALLS<\/b><\/a> live album <\/span>Live at Rescue Rooms<\/span><\/i> is out now.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yours in Love of New Music,<\/span><\/p>\n
