This is the
only interview I shot in Cologne.
This is the
only video with two parts.

| Marcus Perks & Kaila Whyte (Youth Man) |
After the
show I waited for any member of YOUTH MAN at their merch. But before Marcus or
Kaila showed up I first ran into Chris, singer of FJØRT which I also had
inquired for an interview. He felt flattered and had no words for being
recognized as the singer of his band. Unbelievingly, Chris actually remembered
who I was, what my project was about and ensured that he was working on FJØRT’s
FMA segment. But touring, rehearsing and university kept him from completing
his thoughts on the topic.
While we
shook hands I asked him to keep on writing amazing lyrics YOUTH MAN sat down
beside the merch. They were immediately down for an interview. Marcus and Kaila
took me downstairs to some kind of cellar and set a new record for “Longest
Video”.
I was
pretty close to interview LETLIVE, as well. But due to various reasons they had
not enough time Jason admitted. They had an early curfew, needed to answer
mails for their upcoming European tour six months later (with PIERCE THE VEIL
and CREEPER) and their friends in BLESSTHEFALL played in Cologne on that day,
too which made a visit mandatory.
Unfortunately,
Kaila has been one of only three women who joined FMA so far. I tried to shape
FMA as diverse as possible. After all the Alternative/Punk/Hardcore/Metalcore
scene always brags about being tolerant, welcoming and open-minded. Still the
question remains: Why do we then mostly just see white males performing on
stage? That doesn’t seem too diverse at all…
