[...] [The second in the series about movie soundtracks comes from Nate Underkuffler who plays viola in the brilliant Young Republic. He’s so into film music he used to record them on a tape player held up against the speakers on his television. Apparently the string arrangements for recent single Blue Skies were influenced by the soundtrack to Men in Black, so I thought I’d ask him to explain himself. For more on The Young Republic, here’s a review of their new album 12 Tales From Winter City, and here’s my recent interview with Julian and Chris from the band.] [...]

Thanks for that Toad. I really enjoyed reading it.

We were fortnunate enough to bring TYR to Middlesbrough shortly after their appearance at EOTR. Quite simply they were sensational. If the response from the crowd at our show is anything to go by then they can surely look forward to major success in the coming years. I sincerely hope so.

I’m really looking forward to hearing their new stuff once it sees the light of day.

Great interview. Thanks again.

Excellent interview Toad. Just makes me like them even more. From my brief conversations (real and virual) with Julian he always seemed like a good guy, but here’s more proof.

The album gets its proper release on Monday. I hope it gets the attention it deserves.

I’m really starting to like these quite a lot.

I’ve been around the web and snaffled up a few free downlaod tracks – and I think I might soon surprise everyone and actually splash some of my hard-earned on these guys.

Yes, it was a really enjoyable interview actually. It could quite happily have gone on for another couple of hours – a really nice couple of lads to talk to.

Hey this was really an excellent piece. My God, their attitude and enthusiasm and love for music is really infectious. I know you’ve been a big booster of theirs but I really hadn’t delved too deeply into their music until now. I will definitely have to remedy that ommission. Nice work indeed. You get better and better at these “interview” thingies every time.
