Live music and touring have been on lockdown and fans as well as artists are going through withdrawals. We wanted to come up with something fun to help bridge that distance between fans and artists right now. What we came up with is something called The Lockdown Lowdown and it’s a Q&A session with fun questions for artists to answer. They’re not your typical interview questions, so it gives you a peek inside of the artists themselves. We’re big music nerds here at I’m Music Magazine and we love learning things like this about the artists that we love. We’re pretty sure that you’ll get a kick out of these, so we hope you’ll take the time to read them. In this installment, we spoke with V of Violent Idols.
How have you been doing during the pandemic and how are you spending your time? Have you been working on new music?
V: I’ve been focused and working on our next batch of music. With so much chaos and craziness going on in the world I find it’s important to channel the frustration and anger into productive endeavors. Even though our debut EP Idolatry just came out we are already almost finished another EP worth of material. I truly can’t wait though to be able to perform and do things like make new music videos with my friends once it is safe to do so.
