Ook wel typisch dat zij denken vooruit te lopen in de luie promovideo maar het beeld voor de kijker letterlijk de hele tijd achteruit gaat.

“At 12 I saw Metallica in concert and it absolutely blew my mind. Hearing them play Bleeding Me, one of the songs I’ve chosen for The Influences, was a near religious experience. I’ve always loved this song. It’s quite dreamy and cinematic for a metal band, and then gets heavy as hell for parts."

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Adriano Viterbini
It took about a song and a half during Joachim Cooder’s sound check in Utrecht for me to notice, as I was setting up my gear to film his show later that night. That guitarist he had playing with him was one of the most inspiring guitarists I’ve seen live in a good while, and […]

Signe Marie Rustad
It had been a long, inspiring and physically taxing day at Gamlebyen Loft in Oslo, near the end of The Influences’ visit to Norway, and there was just one last session to film. And there really was not better way to end it all than filming Signe Marie Rustad in the office of her label […]

Talloze journalisten, radiomakers, etc. die hun hele leven aan de popmuziek wijden, maar de jury van de Pop Media Prijs nomineert de redactie van Eva Jinek omdat die weleens een liedje in de uitzending laten horen. Gelukkig maakt @pvdp.bsky.social ook kans.
