Running Stitch - Running Stitch Newsletter Interview
Formed in early 2015, Running Stitch is a three piece alternative rock band from Auckland. The band's debut EP, It's On was released last year, reflecting their early sound of alternate rock with folk and lots of harmonies. Jeremy Wooller answered the following questions for muzic.net.nz:
How would you describe Running Stitch's music in one sentence?
We’re a three piece alternative rock band that blends rhythmic guitars, with melodic vocals, and expressive lyrics that are distinctive, and honest.
Who are your role models in the NZ music industry?
There are honestly too many to single out just few. We all have slightly different tastes in music and bands, which is great, it helps bring something to the overall musical sound of the band. But we definitely all are very proud to be part of the NZ music scene.
What is Running Stitch's long term goal?
We’re pretty focused at the moment on building our fan base by gigging as much as we can and fine tuning our sound. We are still a relatively new band in a way so we are still evolving in the how we play and write together, which is exciting. Longer term our goal would definitely be to get to a stage where we are able to spend more time playing in the band than we do at our day jobs!
What sets you apart from other bands?
Our music has a unique but familiar sound that’s both complicated and simple in many ways, so I think we appeal to a wide range of musical tastes.
Do you have any plans for future collaborations with other musicians?
Who would they be? No, although we’d definitely be interested in collaborating with other bands or musicians. Give us a call haha!
What is the one thing you want NZ to know about Running Stitch?
F*ck we are fun.
