THIS IS CONSIDERED A BAND ONLY BECAUSE THAT'S HOW THE WORLD EXISTS. AN INTERVIEW WITH THE ARMED // UNDERTONE

We’ve tried to do this interview for so long, I fell into a little deception that this band is known for. As nearly every journalist that tried to talk with The Armed during their ULTRAPOP promo cycle, I was set to talk with some Adam Vallely. Take a look on Instagram, and you’ll find a very nice guy who’s definitely a fan, is pretty aware or even a part of the joke but he’s not a part of the band. And yet for some time I thought I’m going to talk with him and felt pretty ok with that. You know, we’re talking about a band that supposedly pays actors for taking part in their promo shots and plays unannounced concerts on open-mic evenings. Talking with some nice but random guy about them wouldn’t be that weird. But then The Quietus released their interview with Adam and I knew almost everything. Except – of course – who am I going to talk with actually. Turned out “Adam” is one of their vocalists – the muscular guy acting as a frontman in their “ALL FUTURES” video. It was hard not to ask him about his diet and weightlifting (believe me, seems like every other journo did it) but I had too much pleasure listening to him talking with real passion about music, art, expectations, working in a 25-person multimedia project, Cyberpunk and… Zakopane. Sorry, not sorry.
