ART-PUNK'S DEBUT °INTERVIEW WITH LICE

They don’t like labels and it’s clear to see why: quartet LICE from Bristol is hard to describe. Favouring rhythm over melody, their music crosses tangents of alternative noise-rock, post-punk and general madness, settling on a sound they like to call « art-punk » — it’s weird, it’s ironic, and it suits them perfectly.

Before their concert in Nantes, the band and I sat down for an extensive chat about the encouragement and support they’ve received from IDLES, the mainstream music press and its « breeding of complacent, insipid, artless landfill », and the new struggles of being a band outside university.
