Interview by Tarja Virmakari

VOLBEAT! …commercial phenomenon, tricky inveterate band or authentic artists with a touch of genius?

Speaking of the Danish VOLBEAT, the absolutely labile and subjective, nevertheless gradually achieved success of this rumbling band of Heavy Rockabilly, is a well established factor and they are currently well and truly under the eyes of everybody.

Just recently Metal Shock Finland‘s CEO and Founder Tarja Virmakari had a chat (for Truemetal.it) with VOLBEAT‘s drummer Jon Larsen, the founding member and spokesman for this Nordic band…

When asked whether VOLBEAT has written the songs with reference to the American public (as they have a lot of dates in the States), Jon replied: “The fact is that the States are really huge and if you want to do something there you must stay there for a long time. You could be touring there forever … but trust me, it is not what we want, we are Europeans … “

Besides this Jon spoke about “Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies”, summer festivals, upcoming Japanese and Italian shows, but also about the best qualities of VOLBEAT and its members… please join the chat here below.
