Do you know where I can find the interview where Winston says "we're not cock rock"? I'm dying to see it! Thanks girlie <3
Hello! This fantastic interview…

…was from the Hurricane Festival in Germany on 23rd June earlier this year. Click here to go to the rebloggable post which will direct you to the external website where the interview is hosted.
Please note that this interview took place before the album title for Babel was officially announced, so that’s why they don’t speak specifically about it.
Enjoy!

So, in the interview from Southside festival (I believe) with Win and Ben, you know how they talk about Ben playing the guitar at one of the recent gigs? Do you happen to have any videos of that? Gracias!
Sure! That hilarious interview was actually from Hurricane Festival, but Winston and Ben were discussing the band’s gig the night before at Southside Festival. Click here to watch a video of the performance of “Whispers in the Dark” they discussed. Sadly, you can’t see Ben playing guitar at the front of the stage like they mention in the interview.
However.
There is a fantastic video of the band performing “Whispers in the Dark” at Harvest of Art Festival a few days later in which you get a close-up of Ben playing electric guitar, and I will post that for you momentarily.
Thanks for the question!

Unfortunately, the video cannot be embedded externally, so you must head over to ZDF.de to watch the 13-minute interview in its entirety and to hear the boys discuss things such as:
- Choosing a title for the new album (listen for a few hints as to what the title will be!).
- How the band’s music “has moved on, but not away.”
- Marcus’ broken hand, and bringing on Harry Cargill and Chris Maas to help out.
- Why Ben is (sarcastically) bitter toward Blink-182.
- Their biggest achievement as a band.
- What new instrument Ben is learning, and Winston’s thoughts on that (best part of the interview).
- The Gentlemen of the Road Stopovers.
- And more!
Enjoy!
