For my article I will be interviewing my friends band who're called 'The Upperhand'.

Their fan page on Facebook is:

http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Upperhand/154056897993480?v=info

Their offical website:

http://www.theupperhand.co.cc/.

The reason for my interview will be to find out the coming together of the band and how they have became so popular in so little time.

The questions I will be asking them are as follows:

• So Marc, Chris, I know you two very, well but how did Tom and Jack become members of your band?
• Was there any complications in your band coming together?
• What decisions have you all had to make? Were they difficult?
• Who are your inspirations for stsrting a band?
• Do you produce your own covers? If yes why?
• Who do you cover?
• Where have you performed before?
• Why have you performed there?
• So when you’re all on stage lads, what emotions do you all experience?
• So up to now, out of everything you’ve done as a band, what has been your biggest challenge yet?
•  How did ‘The Upperhand’ become established and able to headline a gig?
• Tom you’re the lead singer of The Upperhand, is singing and music just a career prospect brewing for you or a passion you want to fulfil in the future?
• When one of you has an idea, do you find it easy to compromise with each other or do you tend to argue? 
• So you’re here rehearsing at Vulcan, why is this?
• So what advice would you give to people wanting to form their own band then?
