As you know, Every Time I Die and Chimaira are currently on a mammoth trek around the UK, no doubt playing a venue near you. Did you know Every Time I Die actually toured here briefly earlier this year? And that they have never been on the road before with Chimaira? With that in mind, we caught up with Stephen, the band’s bassist, for a quick chat… Did you have preconceptions of what the UK would be like? “Horrible food, rain, and weird looking cars.” How was the first show this tour, in Oxford? “The first show was super cool. Lots of kids and no real problems. Usually the first show is the toughest one, so if they all go like this, it should be great!” First impressions of sharing a bus with Chimaira? “They like the color black.”
