Interview by Kris Peters
What happens when you get two seasoned audio engineers come together to form a band?
In short, the answer is Brisbane duo Upsetter, but in reality you get a whole lot more.
Upsetter today unleash their debut EP Doomgaze on the world, with Emily Hopley and Jasper Webb sitting down with HEAVY recently to delve into the intricacies of the project.
"We play guitar, sob rock music," Webb smiled. "It's all a little sad and emo, but it's all very sincere and shoegazey and all of the nice little crunchy tones that we like to hear in music."
"We're definitely loving the bass duo vibe that we've got going on," Hopley added. "To back Jasper up on that one with the emo feels, it's been really fun."
In the full interview, Emily and Jasper run us through the EP and what expect, the themes that run through the EP, what they discussed going into their first release, how their roles as audio engineers led to forming Upsetter, separating yourself from your work, future plans and more.
