INTERVIEW WITH
SPAMMERHEADS

Welcome, Spammerheads, I am Mike from Darker Side Of Music

Mike: Would you like to introduce yourself?

Spammerheads: We are a working-class electronic duo from Valencia (Spain).

Mike: Can you tell us about the band?

Spammerheads: The project started in 2019, in which both the sound and the visual elements are created by the duo. Inspired by the “Do It Yourself” ethos of the Punk movement in the late 1970s, using the energy of making things happen for yourself and creating synergies and sympathising with other people who are interested in carving out their own projects and spaces for a culture outside the mainstream. We released 5 albums in 3 years. The last 2 albums were released by Soil Records (Bricks for Reconstruction and Tar Blood / Cement Skin).

Mike: Where did you get the name from?

Spammerheads: Exactly, we can’t tell you, but we assume that from the famous Monty Python sketch.

Mike: What is the Spammerheads creative process like?

Spammerheads: Today, we compose and record together (it wasn’t always like that). We each know what our strengths are and what our job is when making a song. The creative process is very clearly established, and that makes us very productive and develop ideas very concretely and quickly.

Mike: What influences your music and lyrics?

Spammerheads: Apart from our musical influences, we are greatly influenced by the environment, both social and personal. For us, music is a way of expressing and transmitting what we live in every moment, and that sometimes is difficult to explain or verbalize.

Mike: How did you get together?

Spammerheads: The night we met, I was playing a concert with my punk-rock band, The Undersubs, and it was that same night that we half-jokingly decided we’d put together an industrial music duo. And here we are.

Mike: What are your influences, both musically and lyrically?

Spammerheads: We are a project influenced by EBM bands and industrial music from the 80s as well as synthpunk. Names like Screamers, The Neon Judgment, Front 242, SA 42, Nitzer Ebb, A split Second or Ministry. But we have also been influenced by bands like The Prodigy, Kraftwerk, Devo or Chemical Brothers.

Mike: You are from Spain. How does that impact your reach?

Spammerheads: Well, nowadays, with the internet and social media, it’s easier for bands to connect with people from other cities and countries. That does not mean that you are going to sell more or that you get tours and concerts with good conditions, but at least it makes it easier for you to make yourself known outside your city.

Mike: Do you also have a fanbase in Spain?

Spammerheads: Well, I don’t know if I should call it that exactly, but many people support us in Spain and abroad. And one thing we like is that its people from both the electronic scene and the punk or rock scene.

Mike: Although there are many names/genres… where would you place Spammerheads?

Spammerheads: Basically, what we do is industrial electronics, old-school EBM synthpunk and post-punk. We like to call it plainindustrial punk, although I don’t know if that term exists.

Mike: Do you have any touring plans for the future?

Spammerheads: Yes, we are on it. We have several dates pending closing that we hope to finalize as soon as possible.

Mike: Your most recent album was fantastic, can you tell us a little about it?

Spammerheads: Many thanks. It is a very special album for us because in it we try to capture the oppressive, grey and raw atmosphere of the industrial neighbourhoods of the second half of the 80’s, where we spent our childhood playing in vacant lots with the noise of factories in the background. For this we worked a lot on the sound design because we were very clear about how we wanted to sound. We are very happy with the result.

Mike: Are you planning further albums after such a great album?

Spammerheads: Of course. We have a lot of material and we can’t wait to get to work on the next album. For now, we will participate in a compilation, and it will surely be with an unreleased song from the new ones we are working on.

Mike: Is there anything else you would like to mention that I may have forgotten?

Spammerheads: We can only thank you for the great support you have given us. We appreciate it. We send you our best wishes from Spain. Thank you so much. Ana & David.

Mike: Spammerheads, thank you so much for taking part in this interview and thank you for the great answers.
