Remedy are a Dubstep/Hip-Hop/Spoken word three piece interested in spreading [political] ideas through art, because music has the power to cross borders, to break military sieges, and to establish real dialogue.
Listen How?
In 4 words, how would you describe your music?
"Dubstep - Spokenword - Rap – Electronica"
How did Remedy come about?
"Adam and Myself both have had previous experience working with other quite successful groups (The Elements, The Voyeurs & Lights). We got an opportunity about 2 years ago to collab on a track and both realised at that point we needed to write an album as our music interests and political ideals are the same."
Have you been to Vantastival before? If so, what was your favourite memory?
"Yeah, we thankfully got the opportunity to play last year on one of the smaller stages. The positive reaction we got from the people who have seen us really struck me and I suppose it confirmed that we were on the right track with the type of music we write and perform."
What would you call your campervan, and why?
"Funny we actually have a camper van with no name, so we are up for suggestions."
Other than on stage, where are we most likely to find you at a festival?
"Defo hoppin from stage to stage trying to find some new bands to listen too. There is defo a few groups we wana catch at this years festival; King Kong Company & Swords are on the list."
What can we expect from a live show?
"A High energy performance can be expected. We are always interested in getting feedback from people have seen us and the general consensus seems to be that we are a mix between Rage Against The Machine and The Prodigy. We are more than happy to agree (ha ha). For any Prodigy fans we will be dropping a cover of Get Your Fight On."
Describe your best festival dance move.
"Defo gotta be the Michael Jackson toe flick, Check out Google and You Tube for instructions.
Disclaimer - Remedy will not be liable for any MJ toe flick injuries which may arise over the weekend."
What is your recommended post-festival remedy?
"Just get yourself festival fit and start your festival training at least 4 weeks in advance. If you read this now and have not begun your training Im afraid it is too late for you."
What are your plans for 2016?
"We are just finishing up our debut album and will be gigging some more this year. The next confirmed dates are:
Thomas House – Dublin 26th June 2016 (Support from Dirty Words)
Sunflower Fest (Belfast) – 5th – 7th August 2016"
