I haven’t done a heavy band for a while, so this week I bring you my chat with Sam Carter, the lead from British band Architects.

From the start, this interview appeared to be cursed. We had to move three separate times to escape loud band soundchecks, rowdy dressing rooms and overzealous fans. Sam remained professional almost the entire time, even though he had a meet-and-greet and tons of fans anxiously waiting for him.

The UK’s Architects are another band who have endured fan backlash when a record (2011’s The Here And Now) didn’t meet fan expectations. Architects bounced back immediately releasing another record (2012’s Daybreaker) that reflected the sound of their earlier fan-loved works like the band’s third release Hollow Crown. I get Sam to talk candidly about this backlash and much more. Listen to our chat!

Tracks played on the show...

1) Architects Daybreaker “These Colours Don’t Run”

2) Architects The Here and Now “Stay Young Forever”
