Hearing Tests On the Making Of “Patience”
Can you share any interesting or unique stories or perspectives in "Patience?"
Kuba: "Feeling angry, irritated, and hopeless during the pandemic wasn't unique to just us, it was unifying on a global scale, and the way the British government handled it? Well, that certainly gave us something to write about."
What did you enjoy most about making "Patience?"
Kuba: "The most enjoyable part about “Patience” for me is playing it loud and telling the Tories to F*** OFF."
How do you feel "Patience" represents your artistic identity?
Ed: "It does what it says on the tin. Loud, honest, and punky.”
Can you tell us a bit about yourself and how you got started in music?
Kuba: "Me and Ed (drums) were in another band before forming this project together. I used to work in a pub with Rob (bass) and a couple of years later, we met again at a house party where we started talking about him joining on bass. A month later, we all met in the rehearsal room. The band name comes from our studio which has a sign on the door - "Hearing Tests". It's located in a derelict Ear Nose and Throat hospital in Kings Cross, which was used to diagnose and treat patients with hearing loss."
Are there any specific themes or messages that you aim to convey through your music?
Rob: "Just pure energy and saying things as they are."
