INTERVIEW: Jaded

Hi guys, could you introduce yourselves shortly?

I’m Hugh i sing and play guitar, and I’m Felix and i play bass in Jaded.

So when and how did you start the band and how would you describe your stuff?

Felix: Me and Hugh have known eachother for quite some time now, in 2013 we decided to start a band together. Hugh had writen some songs and we drafted Perry in to play drums. We recorded our demo in November of that year and shortly after, Alex joined on Lead Guitar.

Hugh: We’d describe ourselves as an Alternative/Emo band, we draw influence from bands such as Title Fight, Jimmy Eat World and Reuben.

Felix: We’re loud, melancholic punk.

Oh ok! I personally would compare you to Balance and Composure because of that spatious sound :) Anyway, would you mind telling me a bit about your guitar gear? :)

Felix: we’re perhaps the most ill equipped band in the scene right now if I’m honest!

Hugh plays a LTD EC 256 through a pedal our friend Jamie in Homeschooled gave us which is a weird Fuzz/Overdrive pedal. He uses a Vox combo amp and that’s all he really needs.

Alex plays a Fender Strat from the 1990’s which doesn’t have the same twang as a normal Strat. He uses a Small Clone chorus pedal which adds a great texture to our heavier parts of our sound.  he also uses a Laney PL100 Reverb.

Ok then, not “huge” sets! What do you think of the “big pedalboards” trend that’s on recently?

Felix: I think alot of bands used a massive pedalboard as a crutch to prop themselves up. just because you have more pedals doesn’t make you a better guitar player/writer.

Hugh: i like it when bands keep it simple, and use effects when needed. as opposed to using alot of pedals at once which can make you sound very muddy.

Ok, I see! Recently you’ve put out a new single called “Valerian”, would you like to tell us something about the song and writing/recording? Is it like a teaser of a record or just a single?

Valerian by Jaded

We wrote the song a year ago and added it to our live set. Since then we’ve developed the song rewritten the lyrics as we went. its a teaser to the new record which we are currently writing and recording. We’re recording the record with Sam Bloor who totally gets our sound and the vibe that we’re going for. basically were trying to develop the sound we established on our last eps, but we’ve taken a lot more time on it so we’re hoping it’ll sound much more mature  and that the songs live up to their potential. we’re going in to finish recording the record in August so we’re hoping to release it in October.

Ok, any tours/shows planned in the meantime?

Next week we’re playing a weekender with deadlines (you should definately check them out, they sound like Jawbreaker), who are a great band from Cardiff, Wales. We’re playing Exeter, Bristol and a house show in Cardiff with Pipedream (possibly the best band on the planet right now). Hoping we’re also going to do a full UK tour in October to support the release of the record.

Good luck with that, I hope you’ll have great time! Now, to end with, I’d like to ask each of you to name 5 records you’ve been listening to a lot recently :)

Cheers dude!
