I thought we’d start with the single “Voices”. NI ROCKS – We’ll play a track from your new EP now. It’s definitely something that I’d be interested in doing again. It’s great obviously for the CV to be able to put that down and say that you sang on such amazing songs by a band like Asking Alexandria. I went down and put my vocals on it and listened back and thought that sounds great. Someone I know who is in a band posted that they were looking for some group chants and a few different vocals on the new Asking Alexandria album. How did that opportunity come about, and is it something you’d like to do more of? NI ROCKS – Last year you provided some vocals on the new Asking Alexandria album “The Blacks”. We don’t like to do the same type of thing on every EP and every album, we like people and our fans to think ‘this is great, what are they going to surprise us with next?’ I think musically we’ve matured and everything that goes with that, since “We Are The Brave” and it has taken another step forward. It’s more signature to Skarlett Riot in my opinion anyway. ![]() I think for this EP it has worked in our favour, because I think we have our own sound now. ![]() Not massively, but since the debut album “Tear Me Down” the sound has progressively got a bit darker. SKARLETT – I’d agree, it is quite a bit heavier. How would you compare the new EP with that album? NI ROCKS – The new EP is maybe slightly heavier than the previous EP “We Are The Brave” which was released in early 2015, and that again was again a bit heavier than the debut album “Tear Me Down”. NI ROCKS – Are you with a label or are you releasing your stuff independently? He’s a great guy to work with and is really laid back. His name has popped up quite a lot so we thought we’d try him out and try a bit of a different sound and direction for the EP. ![]() SKARLETT – It was recorded in Wales with Romesh (Dodangoda), who has worked with Funeral For A Friend and Bring Me The Horizon. Where was that recorded and who did you work with on that release? NI ROCKS - Skarlett Riot have just released their latest EP “Sentinence” on 2nd May. And we’ve got Danny on lead guitar, Luke on drums those two are brothers and Martin on bass. SKARLETT – We have me, Chloe, on vocals and guitar. First of all, for any listeners who don’t know the band, you’re the lead singer of Skarlett Riot, a band that formed back in 2010. NI ROCKS – Hi Skarlett, thanks for taking some time to chat to us at Rock Radio NI. The interview has been transcribed and posted below. The other members of the band are guitarist Danny, Martin on bass and Luke on drums. That Show is available on our MixCloud page. I arranged to chat with lead singer Chloe Drinkwater (aka Skarlett) via Skype on 5th May and you can hear what she had to say on the Friday NI Rocks Show that was broadcast on 13th May. They’ve supported or toured with some great bands, including most recently Gus G and Devilskin. Skarlett Riot released their debut album “Tear Me Down” in 2013, having already played Download and Bloodstock following the success of the EP “Villain”. I’ve been a fan of the band since picking up their previous EP “We Are The Brave” in early 2015, though the band have been around since 2010. Whereas their peers are all seemingly heading towards a lighter direction, Skarlett Riot are embracing the anger and aggression of the modern world and challenging it into some of their most challenging material to date.English band Skarlett Riot released their latest EP “Sentience” on 2nd May. The result is the amazing new album – ‘Regenerate’. The band have constantly developed and honed their craft and the band are in comfortable in their darker and heavier guise, with elements of Asking Alexandria, In This Moment and Bullet for My Valentine shining through opening up all new possibilities for the band. The new material is harder, heavier, faster but still driven by the anthemic hooks that have kept this band at the forefront of the UK modern metal scene. With the ink still drying on their contracts the four-piece, led by the unique and passionate vocals of Skarlett, headed back in to the studio to begin work on their hugely anticipated second album. ![]() Signing deals with TKO Agency and The Artery Foundation management were just the beginning for this highly rated act – soon they had signed a world-wide record deal with the pro-active and forward thinking Swedish label Despotz Records. After the success of their ‘Sentience’ EP, hard-hitting UK quartet Skarlett Riot soon began to attract interest from far and wide.
