You may not have heard of PET THE PREACHER yet, but you should do soon. If you love a riff you can hang your entire wardrobe off, then their new album "The Cave & the Sunlight" offers an intense bluesy Stoner Rock like nothing you've quite heard before... We caught up with Christian to see what that name really means and to find out why we can't ut this new album down! |

Mark: Hi, thanks for taking the time to talk to The Rockpit, first of all I have to say that we love the album! It’s fantastic, there are a lot of “Stoner” bands out there, but one of the things that stands out for us, is the fact that you seem to have a real love of the blues. Where does that come from?

Mark: Yeah, to me it’s more of a natural progression, it’s that heavy blues, it’s that power trio set up; it’s taking that whole “Cream” thing to its logical progression. There are some wonderful three piece bands around at the moment, what do you think it is about that sort of line-up? Do you find it gives you a lot of freedom?
Mark: I think you’re right, I think you have to have a lot of confidence to play in a trio, because really you need three fantastic musicians, and it sounds like you have a couple of great guys with you there, with Torben and Christian on drums.

Mark: The name, “Pet the Preacher” is quite interesting, is there a story behind it?
|
|
Mark: One of the songs on the album, that really grabbed us, is “Remains”, again, great guitar work and it’s definitely one of my favourites, a very powerful song, and one that brings out the blues. Can you tell us a little bit about how that one came together?
|
|
Mark: I think all people need to do is hear this, it’s always difficult to record the second album, but having just heard the first album a few days ago, this second one is something else, it takes it to a new level, entirely! Thinking back to your earliest memories of music, what was it that made you pick up the guitar and decide that you wanted to be in a rock and roll band?
