LOGAN: HELLO FROM SCOTLAND OUR AMERICAN FRIENDS! IT IS STEVE, KENNY AND IAIN FROM LOGAN HERE.
M4M: HEY GUYS. MANY AMERICANS HAVE NEVER HEARD OF LOGAN BEFORE. CAN YOU GIVE US A BRIEF DISCRIPTION OF THE
GROUP?
STEVE: LOGAN ARE A FIVE PIECE HARD ROCK BAND FROM GLASGOW IN SCOTLAND.
THE BAND IS KENNY COLLINS - VOCALS, STEVE REILLY - BASS, AL REILLY - GUITARS, IAIN STRATTON - DRUMS AND MICK COLL -
GUITARS WE HAVE BEEN TOGETHER FOR ABOUT 4 YEARS!
KENNY: YEAH BASICALLY WE ARE A SCOTTISH ROCK BAND, BORN TO PLAY MASSIVE SOUNDING AMERICAN STADIUM ROCK!
M4M: NOW YOU JUST GOT DONE ROCKING OVER 30,000 FANS RIGHT? THAT HAS GOT TO FEEL INCREDIBLE!
STEVE; YEAH WE HAVE JUST SUPPORTED BON JOVI AT THE NATIONAL STADIUM HERE IN SCOTLAND, AND YES IT WAS FANTASTIC
WE PLAYED TO A CROWD OF ABOUT 30,000 PEOPLE IT WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE AND THE CROWD WERE FANTASTIC FOR US
AND MADE IT A REALLY SPECIAL SHOW!
FAIR TO SAY THAT HAS BEEN OUR BIGGEST SHOW!
IAIN: IT WAS TOTALLY AMAZING, NEVER FELT ANYTHING LIKE IT. TO WALK OUT ON THAT STAGE AND SEE THE SEA OF FACES WAS AN
AMAZING RUSH, AND EVEN BETTER TO SEE EVERY HAND IN THE AIR BY THE TIME WE GOT INTO THE SECOND SONG.
KENNY: IT WAS WITHOUT A DOUBT, THE BIGGEST HIGHLIGHT OF THE BAND'S CAREER SO FAR. WE ALWAYS WANTED TO PLAY
STADIUMS AND FELT THAT OUR SOUND WOULD BE BEST SUITED TO SUCH A MASSIVE VENUE. PLAYING HAMPDEN WAS A DREAM
COME TRUE AND WE CAN’T WAIT TO PLAY MORE STADIUMS!
M4M: NOW BON JOVI IS ONLY THE LATEST BIG AMERICAN NAME YOU HAVE SHARED THE STAGE WITH. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE
OTHER GROUPS THE U.S FAN BASE MAY RECOGNIZE?
KENNY: ALTER BRIDGE AND HINDER ARE THE BIGGEST AMERICAN BANDS WE HAVE PLAYED WITH. IT ALWAYS AMAZES US HOW
DOWN TO EARTH THESE GUYS ARE WHEN WE MEET THEM. WE FIND THAT WE ARE ACTUALLY VERY SIMILAR IN THE RESPECT
THAT, WE ALL SHARE A PASSION FOR MUSIC AND WE ALL HAVE THE DRIVE TO MAKE THE BEST RECORDS AND PLAY THE BEST
SHOWS WE CAN!
M4M: WOULD YOU SAY THERE IS A DIFFERENCE IN THE WAY A U.K BAND LIKE YOURSELF PLAYS COMPARED TO AMERICAN ARTIST
IN THE ROCK GENRE?
STEVE: PERSONALLY, I DON’T THINK THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE. LIKE OUR AMERICAN COUNTERPARTS WE BELIEVE IN GREAT
MUSICIANSHIP AND GREAT VOCALS AND GOOD LYRICS!
UNFORTUNATELY IN THE UK BANDS LIKE US DON’T GET MUCH PRESS BECAUSE THEY ARE MORE INTERESTED IN THE REALLY
BAD INDIE POP SCENE WHICH WOULD JUST NOT FIT OUR TYPE OF SOUND! IT IS THEIR LOSS!! LOL
IAIN: HMMM, WITH US NOT MUCH, NO. THERE IS MORE OF A DIFFERENCE IN THE WAY THAT MOST U.K ROCK BANDS PLAY
COMPARED TO US. WE HAVE ALL GROWN UP LISTENING TO AMERICAN ROCK BANDS LIKE, ALICE IN CHAINS, PEARL JAM AND
SEVENDUST TO NAME A FEW, SO NATURALLY WE HAVE A VERY AMERICAN ROCK SOUND.
M4M: YOU HAVE BEEN TEARING UP THE U.K FOR YEARS NOW AND RECENTLY WERE RECOGNIZED FOR YOUR TALENT. IS IT SAFE
TO SAY YOU ARE NOW AN AWARD WINNING GROUP? HOW DOES THAT FEEL TO SEE WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS PAYING OFF AND
BEING RECOGNIZED BY OTHERS?
STEVE: YEAH WE GOT SOME RECOGNITION FROM THE INDUSTRY AFTER FOUR YEARS AND WE WON 2 AWARDS AT THE NEW MUSIC
AWARDS IN LONDON FOR BEST ROCK ACT VOTED FOR BY THE INDUSTRY AND BEST ROCK ACT VOTED FOR BY THE PUBLIC SO
THAT WAS PRETTY NICE! BUT WE ARE STILL HOLDING OUT FOR THE GRAMMY!! LOL
KENNY: IT JUST GOES TO SHOW, IF YOU WANT IT BAD ENOUGH, GOOD THINGS WILL START TO HAPPEN! THE MAIN SLICE OF
ADVICE IS, DON’T EVER GIVE UP!!!
M4M: NOW OVER THE YEARS YOU HAVE PUT OUT SEVERAL ALBUMS. WHAT IS THE WRITING PROCESS LIKE FOR YOU AND HOW DO
YOU DECIDE WHAT TO PUT ON THE ALBUMS WHEN THE TIME COMES?
STEVE: YEAH WE NOW HAVE 4 SELF RELEASED ALBUMS! THE PROCESS FOR WRITING IS PRETTY SIMPLE, OUR GUITARIST AL
USUALLY SPENDS A LOT OF TIME HIMSELF WRITING GUITAR PARTS AND THEN HE BRINGS THEM TO THE STUDIO AND WE ALL ADD
OUR PARTS TO IT, THE HARD BIT IS WE ARE ALL VERY DEDICATED TO IT AND A LOT OF SONGS GET CUT FROM THE LIST BUT THE
ONE'S THAT DO MAKE IT, WE PLAY LIVE AND GAUGE THE REACTION FROM OUR FANS AND IF THEY GET BEHIND A SONG IT MAKES
THE ALBUM!!
M4M: WHAT IS REALLY INTERESTING IS WHEN YOU HAVE A ROCK GROUP OUT THERE THAT CAN ROCK HARD BUT YET TURN IT
DOWN AND GO ACOUSTIC LIKE YOU HAVE ON “EXPOSED”. IT IS SIMPLY SUPURB! WHY DID YOU DECIDE TO DO THAT? BRILLIANT!!
STEVE: THE ALBUM EXPOSED WAS WROTE FOR OUR OWN ENJOYMENT REALLY, WE WANTED TO TAKE OUR BEST SONGS AND
STRIP THEM DOWN AND SEE IF THEY COULD CUT IT BEING PLAYED ACOUSTICALLY AND IT IS SOMETHING WE REALLY WANTED TO
SHOW PEOPLE WE COULD DO AND ITS BEEN VERY WELL RECEIVED BY OUR FAN BASE!
IAIN: TO START WITH THANKS. THE EXPOSED IDEA WAS SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT FOR US. WE HAD NEVER DONE
ANYTHING ACOUSTICALLY BEFORE AND REALLY WANTED TO TRY IT. SO WE SET UP A GIG AND DECIDED TO SUPPORT
OURSELVES. WE OPENED WITH THE ACOUSTIC SHOW AND THEN A FULL ELECTRIC SET, WAS AN AMAZING NIGHT REALLY FUN
AND DIFFERENT.
KENNY: IT’S A TEST. WE NEEDED TO KNOW THAT WE HAD THAT LEVEL OF VERSATILITY. WE ENJOY IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGES AND
RECORDING EXPOSED SEEMED LIKE A NICE IDEA. IT WAS REALLY GREAT TO STRIP OUR SONGS BACK AND SEE IF WE COULD
PULL OFF AN UNPLUGGED RECORD.
M4M: OK GUYS THE WHOLE ALBUM ROCKS BUT WE ARE STUCK ON TWO SONG’S IN PARTICULAR OFF YOUR “CRUEL LITTLE
WORLD” ALBUM CALLED “OUT OF MIND” AND “WHEN I GET DOWN”. FOR THE LOVE OF ROCK TAKES US DEEPER IN THESE SONGS?
STEVE: WELL THOSE 2 TRACKS OFF "CRUEL LITTLE WORLD" HAVE 2 VERY DIFFERENT STORIES!
WITH "OUT OF MIND" THAT SONG CAME FROM THE OPENING RIFF AL PLAYED US WHILE WE WERE TOURING WITH ALTER BRIDGE!
AT THAT POINT WE ALL LOVED IT, BUT THE SONG NEEDED MORE, SO ON GETTING BACK FROM THE TOUR WE STARTED WORKING
ON IT IN THE STUDIO AND RECORDED A DEMO OF IT. WE THEN PLAYED IT LIVE AT A HEADLINE SHOW IN GLASGOW, THAT WAS
WHEN WE KNEW IT WAS A WINNER THE WHOLE PLACE WENT MAD BOUNCING ABOUT EVERYWHERE - GREAT NIGHT - SONG
BORN!!
STEVE: WITH "WHEN I GET DOWN" WE HAD PUT THAT ON OUR FIRST ALBUM BUT WE NEVER REALLY PLAYED IT LIVE UNTIL AL
REWROTE THE GUITAR PARTS FOR IT AND EVER SINCE THEN ITS BECOME OUR BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY
IF WE DON’T PLAY IT LIVE THE FANS WOULD KILL US!
KENNY HAS SUCH A STRONG VOCAL IN THE SONG SO WE RE-RECORDED THE NEW VERSION AND PUT IT ON CRUEL LITTLE
WORLD AND IT IS PROBABLY ONE OF OUR MOST LIKED SONGS NOW!
M4M: YOU KNOW WHAT IS INSANE IS THAT LISTENING TO YOUR MUSIC EYE’S CLOSED NOT KNOWING WHO SINGS IT THAT ONE
MINUTE I AM LIKE PEARL JAM NEXT MINUTE I AM SAYING PINK FLOYD. LYRICALLY KENNY CAN BE ALL OVER THE BOARD WITH
GREAT SOUND. DO YOU EVER GAIN THOSE KIND OF COMPARISON’S?
KENNY: ALL THE TIME. IT’S AN HONOUR TO BE COMPARED TO SUCH INCREDIBLE SINGERS BUT REALLY, I JUST TRY AND DO MY
OWN THING. I JUST TRY AND FIND THE MOOD OF THE SONG AND A SUITABLE MELODY BEFORE REALLY FOCUSING ON THE LYRICS.
THE WRITING STAGE IS THE ON OF THE MOST EXCITING PARTS OF BEING IN THIS BAND.
M4M: DOES HAVING SOMEONE LIKE KENNY ON VOCALS OFFER A BROADER RANGE ON WHAT YOU ARE ABLE TO CREATE DURING
THE WRITING PROCESS AND DELIVERING THOSE SONGS LIVE?
STEVE: HAVING A SINGER LIKE KENNY IS FANTASTIC BECAUSE FOR ONE, NO MATTER HOW BIG WE MAKE THE GUITAR LINES THE
POWER HE HAS ALWAYS JUST LIFTS ABOVE IT!
ALSO HE IS AS GREAT LIVE AS HE IS ON RECORD!
WRITING WITH KENNY IS GREAT TO WE DO ALL THE MUSIC HE DOES ALL THE LYRICS AND HE COMES INTO THE STUDIO AND
AMAZES US EVERYTIME!
IAIN: YES!! KENNY'S VOCAL IS AMAZING FOR US. IT DOES EXACTLY WHAT IT SAYS ON THE TIN HA HA.
SERIOUSLY THOUGH, HIS RANGE AND CONTROL ARE EXCELLENT.
PERFORMING LIVE - WOW THE POWER THIS GUY CAN DELIVER WILL BLOW YOUR MIND.
M4M: WHY AFTER ALL THIS SUCCESS YOU HAVE HAD DO YOU THINK YOU STILL REMAIN UNSIGNED TO A MAJOR LABEL. THERE HAS
TO BE SOMEONE OUT THERE WHOS SMART!!
STEVE: I THINK WE STILL REMAIN UNSIGNED HERE BECAUSE THE UK MARKET WON’T INVEST IN CLASSIC/HARD ROCK
IT DOES AMAZE US OVER HERE IN THE STATES THOUGH, BECAUSE THEY KNOW WHO WE ARE AND WE HAVE SOLD RECORDS ALL
OVER THE WORLD AND TOURED WITH SOME GREAT BANDS WHO ASK FOR US PERSONALLY!
WE ARE JUST WAITING TO GET SIGNED OVER IN THE STATES WITH ONE OF YOUR LABELS LOL!!!
KENNY: PATIENCE.......!
I'VE GOT A FEELING THAT THAT INTELLIGENT PERSON ISN'T TOO FAR AWAY!
M4M: NOW YOU ARE GETTING READY TO HEAD OUT ON ANOTHER U.K TOUR. WILL WE GET TO SEE YOU IN THE U.S?
STEVE: YEAH, ABSOLUTELY WE CAN’T WAIT TO GET TO THE STATES. IT IS A DREAM FOR ALL OF US!
WE NOW HAVE MANAGEMENT IN LA, SO IT IS JUST GONNA BE A MATTER OF TIME!
THERE IS LITTLE WHISPERS OF US TOURING WITH ALICE IN CHAINS OR MAYBE VELVET REVOLVER SO FINGERS CROSSED WE
WILL BE SEEING YOU ALL SOON!
KENNY: HELL YEAH! STAY TUNED!
M4M: WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IS THE BEST THING THE U.S FANS CAN DO TO MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO TOUR THE U.S?
STEVE: TO THE US ROCK FAN ALL WE WOULD SAY IS GIVE US A LISTEN AND IF YOU LIKE IT, YOU WILL LOVE IT LIVE! THAT’S WHERE
WE COME ALIVE, BUT IF YOU GUYS OVER THERE CAN GET ONTO OUR MYSPACE AND WEBSITE AND LET US KNOW YOU WANT US
TO COME OVER THAT WOULD BE A GREAT HELP!!!!
M4M: WELL GUYS WE WISH YOU A GREAT TOUR OVER THERE AND HOPE TO SEE YOU ROCKING THE U.S IN THE FUTURE. THANK
YOU FOR THIS OPERTUNITY AND KEEP ROCKING!!!
LOGAN: THANKS TO YOU GUYS AND THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO TAKES TIME OUT THERE DAY TO READ THIS

When Logan fan Shannon emailed us about this group from Scotland we
decided to check them out and from the second we hit their myspace
page we saw an unbelievable talent. The choice was simple at that point;
We needed to present this kick ass in your face rock group to the U.S
fanbase. Well rockers today is that day! Are you ready to get rocked?
Logan from Glasgow in Scotland has been tearing up stages all over
the U.K now for years recently opening for Bon Jovi in front of over 30,000
screaming Fans. By the end of just that one show everyone in the crowd
knowing or not knowing the lyrics were singing along just wanting to be
part of the moment and enjoy rock music. Logan is the type of group that
will have this effect everywhere they play and hopefully in the near future
will bring that high energy crowd pleasing sound to the U.S where the rock
gods above will be smiling down upon us. We must urge you to check out
our new friends from Scotland and see for yourself just how much they
rock! Thank you Shannon for being a mouth4music and pointing out kick
ass rock when you hear it! You were right on with this group!
