03/11/2012 Interview with... Brontide A Carefully Planned festival is the latest inner city festival to pop-up on the music calendar, staged at various venues across Manchester (including Kraak and The Castle) and with a very impressive line-up that included Tall Ships) it was not one to be missed. I caught up with guitarist Tim from the instrumental rock band Brontide, before their Saturday headline slot at the Soup Kitchen (which by the way was a remarkably brilliant set, it was packed full off all the face melting rifts you could ever wish for.) To talk about tummy tickling, touring America and how the recording of their second album is going. Just wanted to get a general history about the band, so please could you tell us a bit about yourselves? Me and Will (the drummer) have known each other since we were very young, and we've been in bands together over the years, and we basically started Brontide from just jamming out ideas with just the two of us. We realised at this point that we were going to need a bass player to really fill it out and finish it off, and Will spent some time down at uni and met Nathan, so he came to mine and seemed up for it, so we literally went down with a few song ideas and started jamming with him and it went really well. So we took it from there and started playing shows and its basically just progressed ever since.
