Interview by Kris Peters
Southern Californian post-hardcore outfit Movements are on the verge of their Australian tour with British rock outfit Boston Manor, kicking off in Brisbane on March 9.
It will be Movements first visit Down Under since 2018, and, armed with 2020's successful album No Good Left To give the shows are already selling in record time.
HEAVY sat down with vocalist Patrick Miranda just before the band boarded a plane for their long flight to see us.
One of the features of Movements music is the heavy emotional content within their lyrics, with issues such as relationships, loss and mental health a prominent feature of the bands music. Because of this we ask Miranda if it can be difficult delivering an upbeat live performance of some of these songs despite the heavy emotional content which doesn't necessarily lend itself to happiness.
"It absolutely can be," he nodded. "I'd say that is an experience that we've kind of... tried to pinpoint and shift with our new music because, yeah, a lot of our songs and a lot of our content is very heavy and very dark. And it's not always the most fun thing to talk about every single day. But I think that it's good because it's always a great way to share a cathartic experience with the people who are listening and being able to share these negative emotions with somebody and maybe it helps them feel better or get through whatever it is that they might be dealing with. With that being said that's definitely something that we wanted to... kind of shy away from in the new music and have it be less emotionally draining and a little bit more fun and energetic in the live setting so we could have a little bit more fun with the songs and not have it be such a depressing, sad, down moment. I think that there's something positive to be said about either side of that argument."
In the full interview, Pat talks more about what to expect from the shows, what has changed with the band since their last visit in 2018, touring with Boston Manor and why they chose them to co-headline with, some fun times on the road with Boston Manor, their blending of musical styles and where it comes from, album number three and more.
