1. How’s lockdown been treating you?

We haven’t been put down by it. We just got on with it and carried on writing and demoing new tunes. It’s obviously not as easy as it was before but we call each other a lot to discuss and share any ideas.

2. You guys played our first Why Generation? gig but under the name RIC, what was with the name change? Is Sterling Press a new project completely?

Yes, Sterling Press is a new project completely, but the time we spent writing and gigging together when we were younger has definitely helped lay the groundwork. Since the first lockdown last year we have only been writing and working on Sterling Press. We worked jobs at Tesco and Morrisons the first half of last year so we’d have enough money to record everything we had been working on in the Autumn.

3. How would you describe your music to someone who hasn’t heard it before?

There’s not really a specific way to describe it as each song is fairly different from the next. You could listen to our next 3 singles and not know what the next one will be like. We have some songs with big string/horn sections as well as some more punky, stripped-back ones. We’ve spent a lot of time experimenting with different influences, hopefully, it comes across in the tunes.
