One of my absolute favourite bands, Hardcore Superstar, did an interview on Swedish television this morning. I have summed it all up for those of you who don't speak swedish!
The guys started the interview by saying that they aren't used to being up this early in the morning. Plus, Adde didn't get any sleep this night and Jocke only slept for two hours.
The band is releasing the 10 year anniversary record to celebrate that they released their first record about 10 years ago. Even though they have been performing much longer. They don't feel like they have changed that much over the years, they still have the same energy even though the energy doesn't come for free anymore.
They aren't as fond of their old songs anymore, but feel like they have to play them for the fans sake.
Of all the places they've played, Jocke prefer festivals and Adde prefer smaller clubs.
The interviewer starts off by talking about the gig the guys had on TV4 in 2003. The neighbours had hated the loud noice going on up on the roof top that morning. TV4 is now forbidden to have any gigs up there, which Hardcore Superstar say they take as a compliment!
They also say that the rock n´ roll lifestyle is not as glamorous as people think. Jocke claims it's just like any other job sometimes.
Adde says that the band don't have a deadline for stop touring or making music. They'll keep going until they drop.
The interviewer knows that Jocke has a child and asks if Adde does too. He replies - "none that I know of". She wonders how they combine family life with touring. Jocke says that you have to have an understanding partner. And sometime he brings his family along, when there's time for it. Which it unfortunately hardly ever is.
The last question is about how do the guys keep themselves so fit. Adde and Jocke says that they try to keep their every day life as calm as possible. They exercise as much as possible so that they can allow themselves to have a few beers after a gig.
Performance - Run to your mama
