Interview Bersama Jordan KRod Records

Setelah sekian lama karena males bikin pertanyaan, akhirnya sesi interpyu di Radio Hey Ho! idup lagi boushkuw! Dan untuk gunting pita ulang laginya kita akan menginterview akang Jordan KRod Records! Jadi untuk yang belum tau, KRod Records merupakan sebuah label pop punk/hardcore asal Prancis yang dimana walaupun sekarang pemiliknya, mas Jordan, sekarang relokasi tinggal di Jerman dan untuk katalognya sendiri bisa dikatakan cukup diverse sih IMO. Ada dari melodic hardcore sampe indiepop sampe hardcore punk untuk KRod Records sendiri. Wokeh tanpa banyak bacot langsung aja disikat jon ni interpyunyah dalam bahasa Jawa #adaaa


01.Would you tell me about how's KRod get started??
Krod Records was officially created in march 2015. I used to organize some shows in Nevers and Clermont-Ferrand in France before that and play in a punk hardcore band. After my A-Level, I moved in different cities to study economics, accounting, languages and finally I wanted to comeback into music stuff and I created this label with the first band Quitters. 

02.You just add one of your friend, Loic, helping out for the labels. Is it just too painful to work the label all by yourself??
Loïc is my friend for a long time now, 10 years maybe... He first did my logo then some designs for me and finally I added him in the team to do some more and organize the Krod Birthday Shows with me :) It's always a party to be with him, he's good in making me less nervous. We also added Valentin in the team since September 2017 who cares about our YouTube channel and our social networks.
To work with the label is everything but painful. It's a passion, I love that and I think that I could not imagine my life without my label now.

03.Once or ever in a lifetime, have you ever got any weird band submission?? Whats the weirdest stuff?? Could you tell me??
Oh man, weird band submission is like all the time, you got bands which play rap/electro music and wanna be signed on Krod.

04.How do you find Colour Me Wednesday??
I discovered Colour Me Wednesday thank to a friend Julien (Never Trust An Asshole Records). I was looking for a gift for a friend and this guy suggest me some bands to buy on LP and in those bands there was Colour Me Wednesday. I really liked what I've heard and contacted them. Since, i've been on tour with them twice, they are adorable and they do such a great music.

05.I just checked your wiki it says 'In February 2017, they celebrate their second birthday with a show in Toulouse with Tiny Moving Parts, Trash Boat, Daylight and Skull Soda at Le Cri de la Mouette'.
Did you spend your money for KRod birthday that way??
Well, actually I've spent a lot for this show, not lots of people came that day unfortunately so I had to bring some money from my pocket, that's how you do when you love music as much as I do! However, it was a great night, TMP, Trash Boat, Daylight & Skull Soda are such great guys and Trash Boat slept at home, it was pretty funny :- ) 

06.Could you tell how's the independent music scene financially there in France?? Are the people totally supportive??
The punk rock scene is quite empty in France if you have to compare with Germany where I live now. There are great bands (see below), great promoters but not much medias to support and sometimes we're lack of people at shows. 
If you have time, check out those bands: Burning Heads, Chunk No Captain Chunk, Paerish, Last Train, Sport, Resolve, The Great Divide, Not Scientists, Nine Eleven, Atlas For Home, Justin(e), Buried Option... check out the playlist we made to discover more french artists: http://spoti.fi/2zeUClG

07.Intermezo question, how does it feel to live in a country who also being well known producing airplanes like Airbus???
As I'm not living in France anymore, that's pretty ok with me. I used to live in Toulouse where the Airbus headquarters are tho. It didn't really change my life, not even a little :- )

08.Any labels or bands or work ethic that shapes KRod Records like today??
Our influences about the music we love came from 90's / 2000's punk rock and hardcore like Millencolin, Bad Religion, Comeback Kid, Raised Fist, Misconduct, NOFX, Blink 182..etc. About the labels, we liked rosters from Bridge 9 for example or Hopeless Records, No Sleep, Run For Cover but I think we get our own way to work tho.

09.Do you like Criossant?? Whats the best French Criossant that every human has to taste??
Ahah, I guess that you see french people with the baguette, the hat, the garlic around and our croissant in the mouth ahah. Well, croissants are better in France than Germany or the UK at least, you can try good one in the bakery.

10.Would you tell me about KRod's plan ahead??
We're going to release the new album of Elm Tree Circle (Germany, Emo Punk) and we already unveiled the first single taken from this upcoming full length. We're working again with Colour Me Wednesday but this time for an album, we will work with a melodic hardcore band from France called Forgive. We will release a full album for South Berkeley (Pop Punk, France), an album late this year for Kill Her First and some other stuff not confirmed yet.
