Yur Mum

1- What’s your name? 2- Where you're from?

Yur Mum and we’re based in London.

Akos Gado - Hungarian

Anelise Kunz - Austrian-Brazilian

Fabio Couto - Brazilian

3- Tell us how your journey has been from your beginnings until now?

It would be a LONG LONG story, darling, so we will stick to Yur Mum’s prequel.

Anelise and Fabio were in a band named Plastique. They met Akos during one of their gigs. A long time afterwards they finally decided to jam with the ambition to perform a few covers in the local boozer.

Yur Mum’s first gig happened by chance. Plastique had a headline gig and one of the support bands cancelled and Gabriel (Plastique) suggested we took the slot. Ane and Fabio ended up playing on both sets.

We can’t believe how far we’ve come  in the last 2 years. We’ve signed to Flicknife Records and have our debut album due on the 6th April.

4- Tell us about your musical styles, influences.

We love ROCK…in all its form, colour and shape.

5-What has been your last project?

In this case last will be first. By that we mean Mama’s debut album. Pre-orders are open and physical copies in production...the release date is 6th of April. This is a result of nearly two years rehearsing, gigging, whilst working full time. We recorded the tracks at The Nave in Leeds. But every single sleepless night, hangover, back pain was worth it when we hear the result of the album. 

6-And the next thing you have planned?

We’re gonna do what we enjoy the most which is hitting the road. We’re gonna support Svetlanas on a couple of UK gigs, then we head to Scotland to play Girls To The Front, we have 8 Mamapalloza dates afterwards, summer festivals and gigs and hopefully another EU tour.

The Blue Carpet Band

WWW.ONLYROCKRADIO.COM

The Blue Carpet Band ‘Rock And Roll Carpet - Relaid’ 

Release date: 30^th March 2018

The Blue Carpet Band formed as a 5 piece in North London in early 2014 taking their name from the colour of the flooring in the rehearsal space at T.Chances.  Initially a blues/hard rock band, they quickly evolved over the last 2 years into what can be called a dirty rock’n’roll band with elements of garage rock, proto punk, 12 bar blues and a bit of psychobilly.

They released a live five track EP in September 2016 and set about hitting the road to promote it. 2017 saw them playing a number of festivals including Deerstock and Undercover plus gigs with The Outcasts, GBH, Richie Ramone, UK Subs, 999 as well as playing the famous 100 Club as part of Resolution Festival, gathering a large and loyal following. Their debut album “Rock and Roll Carpet-Relaid” will be supported with a massive tour including 8 dates with the famed Mamapalooza Tour. Then, they are off to Europe including France, Germany, Belgium and Holland. This is going to be our main release for the year and we are going to push it, push it, push it: Djamel Abina, the 21 years old singer, will be a star, with or without that band or us. Let’s make sure it is with us.

The Blue Carpet Band are:

Djamel Abina - Lead Vocals.
Terry Poullos - Guitars/Vocals.
Hiras Maestroni - Guitars.
Natalino Moniz - Bass.
Luke Hackett – Drums
