Interview with James
"After their storming performance at Download Festival and with a new album on the horizon, it certainly looks like Feed The Rhino are ones to watch out for, so make sure you don't miss them when they play this years Hevy Fest" Can you tell us about the formation of Feed The Rhino? Sam (guitarist) my brother was in a band with Lee (frontman), I was in a band with Chris (drummer), both bands broke up and we were all mates, so we decided to write a few songs, we then did a local show where Oz (bassist) was there with his band and felt the vibe, so we asked him to join. It was all kind of coincidence.
How did you get to the band name Feed The Rhino and what do you want it to mean to your fans? Do you know what, we have made up so many stories as to what the name means and how we have come up with it, we have forgotten the real reason but to our fans we want it to mean aggression and passion, I guess we just wanted something different.
What can you tell us about the themes and influences that run through your latest record 'The Burning Sons'? Some of the songs have been based on life experiences that we have had individually and together, although this album has a darker vibe we still have kept the positive attitude in the writing, we have been influenced by even heavier music this time around.
