Band: imissyoualready
From: North East, UK
Their formation story:
(Bella, vocals): “The band really came together quite naturally. My partner, Patrick, has been involved in several bands over the years. I’ve always had a strong love for music myself and have always really wanted to start my own project.
“So I thought it was only obvious to start something with Patrick—considering he is already in 1000 bands, why not add one more? I never actually expected to become a vocalist; it just sort of happened, which still makes me laugh!
“This project has actually been developing for about two years. Patrick and I spent a lot of time experimenting, going back and forth to figure out the sound that felt right for us and what best complemented my voice.”
Their sound in their own words:
(Patrick, guitar): “In Flames with breakdowns.”
Latest release info:
(Bella): “Of Teardrop Stained Glass and A Dream I Once Had is incredibly personal to me. It goes through the experience I had with losing my dad, someone I looked up to deeply and who had a huge influence on my life. His passing was very sudden, and like anyone in that situation, I found it extremely difficult to process.
“I felt a strong responsibility to stay strong for my family, which meant I didn’t always allow myself the space to fully grieve at the time. So this is what the EP is about—not only expressing the emotions that were hard to put into words, but also working through them. It’s both a tribute to him and a way of processing that loss.”
Future plans:
(Patrick): “We just want to have fun and keep playing shows! We will definitely be releasing more music for sure!”
What other bands from their region should we check out?
“Definitely listen to Dissent, Dead Stare, Burial Plot, and Long Goodbye.”
Of Teardrop Stained Glass and A Dream I Once Had is available on CD and cassette via The Coming Strife.
