Audio feature interview #1678 in an ongoing series. In a troubled world, it is time for rock n roll to remember its soul and learn to testify once again – to stand up and have something to say, to be proudly individual and to avoid the temptation to be among the cool kids. The words ‘individual’ and ‘authentic’ apply naturally to Copperworm – a rising band largely ignored by many rock influencers and festivals, yet it doesn’t matter. The band does their thing, they work to their own values and belief system and they have the same right to have a musical journey as anyone else. And, you know what, maybe they’re better for it – like them or not, with Copperworm difference shines through a market context of sameness. GMS has supported Copperworm for many years. We believe they need a kick of the ball. They bagged Single of the Year for one of the most profound songs of the lockdown era – and, last December, our followers and rock show listeners voted them Number 4 in our Bands of the Year countdown. Led by Peter, this is a band that connects with music fans, collaborates with other creatives and is often the first to congratulate other bands on their own successes. Proper rock stars in the real sense of the word. And here’s the latest chapter of their story with us.
