Richard Armitage about Thorin & Co. [8/8]

Thorin inherited a quest of vengeance from his father, to reclaim what’s theirs and take his people back to Erebor. And that burden is quite a lonely thing to carry. Thrain disappeared trying to do the same thing a 100 years ago. So Thorin feels like it’s now or never. I think he’s like a dying ember. He has the potential to reignite into a huge furnace, but if he doesn’t do it now, that ember will die. He will die and fade away. That is quite a serious endeavour to assume. So I think in that respect, the seriousness he approaches it….you could say he’s his own worst enemy.

Richard Armitage about Thorin & Co. [7/8]

[Thorin] is cantankerous and often cross. I found this characteristic interesting and, at the beginning, it was a bit hard for me to determine where it sprang from. I’d say this surly and aggressive side is something all the warrior dwarves share, but Thorin, on top of that, cant stand the thought that he's been stripped of his kingdom in such a violent way. In addition, he’s suffered the loss of his rank in the dwarf society, going from the privileged status of a royal family member to that of a wandering warrior. He's ashamed of such a decline..

Richard Armitage about Thorin and Co. (5/8)

Tolkien says that Thorin, who was 52 then – a young age for a Dwarf - had led his powerful warrior army during the Battle of Azanulbizar. When Thorin’s shield was destroyed, he used an oak branch to protect himself. That’s how his nickname Oakenshield was born. Thereafter, Thorin kept that piece of wood as a shield and carved it; and this piece of branch became a symbol of pride and honour.

Richard Armitage about Thorin and Co. (3/8)

Thorin’s an accomplished swordsman so, since he’s destined to become a king, he’s undergone training in sword handling since he was very young. He fights so well that he could clear a path through a mob of Orcs and decimate them to cross a battlefield!

That's what's with our band what we've tried, and before i was in the band, it's day one, ya it's entertainment, ya were out there having a good time and putting on a good show, but were also trying to enlighten people to go enlighten themselves. just find one thing, one cause that speaks to them.

We have just a couple more shows throughout the year. We’re really focusing on taking some time off and regrouping, we’ve been touring pretty heavily since we started the band. But I’m sure at the end of the year, beginning of next year we’ll start working on a new record, which I’m really looking forward to because I think we’ll be so hungry for new songs after so much time off. I know for me personally I’ve been writing nonstop on my own. We’ll be looking forward to getting back in the room together for sure.

I love "Blood-Red White and Blue," I love that song, I love playing it live. It’s just one of those songs that gets me going no matter how I’m feeling that day. Whenever we play that song it’s like nothing else matters, it’s kind of like, there’s reasons why I got into punk rock and that song sort of sums it up. Just being aggressive, you know? That’s why it’s important to me. I like that song, but I also enjoy "Like the Angel." We like fast songs and we all love pop music too so both of those songs kind of do it for me.
