Damn. So good.
Before All Points East, we brought Sam and Horizon's Oli Sykes together for a huge chat on all things rock in 2019, as well as just generally being mates and supporting each other's bands.
“Do you know what? One of the coolest things about growing up with Bring Me is that we used to be really jealous of other bands’ success and how well they were doing," said Sam. "We could get really bitter and pissed off, but we never had that with Bring Me. Any time they did anything we were like, ‘This is sick!’ because we were mates and you want to see your mates do well. And they always looked out for us as well.”
“I’ve always said: you need more than one good band to keep a scene alive," added Oli. "That’s always been my fear with metal and hardcore, that question of, ‘Are there going to be enough bands to keep kids into rock?’ I’m always supportive, not just of my friends’ bands, but any bands. The fact that we’re here with Architects… we’ve grown up with them, so it makes it even sweeter to see them doing so well. It’s mental that we’re still here, even!”
