INTERROGATE would like to say a massive thanks to everyone who came to the show in Belfast on Saturday, means a lot to us after all the shit we’ve been through and all the hard work we’ve put in over the last 6 months or so.

Probably the best show we’ve EVER played, place was buzzin!! An extra big thanks to all the headers who travelled all the way down from the Dawson!

INTERROGATE are back with a fuckin bang, Saturday was only a glimmer of what’s to come! Next stop Ballymena Sat 13th, Slemish Bar!!!

See you all there!!!

To coincide with our comeback as a 3-piece to the live scene we’ve decided to upload another track, ‘One Chance’ from our album for those of you who haven’t heard it all yet to our Myspace page  www.myspace.com/interrogate We’ve also put up some new pics of us rehearsing recently.  We’ve been working really hard and really tightening up and are looking forward to gettin back on stage and kicking ass harder than ever before!

See you all soon!

Hey everyone

Just want to fill you in on what’s been going on in the INTERROGATE camp the last while.  A few weeks back, after speaking with Ryan, we decided to part ways for various reasons. The split however, was amicable and we still remain friends with Ryan and wish him all the best for the future.

We have now decided to continue as a 3-piece with Darren handling lead vocals as well as bass and have been practicing hard for our return to the live circuit.  Our first gig back will be at The Ivy Bar in Newtownards on 19th Feb followed by Sat 27th Feb in the Limelight in Belfast.  We hope to be announcing more gigs in the near future so stay tuned!

Interrogate is very pleased to announce that after a couple of months of searching, we have found a new vocalist in the form of Ryan Adair (previously frontman of local bands Involution and Escape Fails).  We are really excited to be working with Ryan as he is a very talented vocalist and frontman and we have already begun rehearsals to prepare for our return to the live circuit.

Keep checking the gig listings for details of upcoming shows.  Interrogate will be back stronger and better than ever before!!!

After discussing it, we have decided to search for a new lead vocalist as we have put far too much effort, money and time into releasing our debut album to give it up now.  In fact there was never any question of calling it a day just because our singer decided to leave, whatever his reasons.  The remaining 3 of us are more determined than ever to bounce back better than ever before and mark our words we will!

If you’re interested in becoming the new vocalist read on:

The new INTERROGATE vocalist must be 100% committed, dedicated, hard-working, have a professional attitude and wide vocal range.  He must also be available to practice twice-a-week (every week!) and be willing to tour, gig on a regular basis and invest money in the band when necessary and be willing to push himself constantly to improve.

If you are not familiar with our music listen to the tracks on this page or www.myspace.com/interrogate

INTERROGATE WILL BE BACK STRONGER THAN EVER!

It is with great disappointment we, Interrogate, announce the departure of vocalist Andy Campbell.  We received a text message just a couple of days ago notifying us  that he has quit the band, the reasons for which still completely baffle us.  

Therefore it is with great regret we have to cancel all our upcoming shows.  We would like to apologise to all the promoters and bands involved in these shows and to anyone who had intended coming to see us.  This has come as unexpected to us as it has to you.

Over the next few days we will be discussing the future of the band and what the next step for us will be.  We will post another update for you all very soon so stay tuned.

Stephen, Mark & Darren

Our debut album Scarred For Life will be distributed in the near future UK-wide and available for download through Distortion Project Records.  Below is the official press release:

The Distortion Project is pleased to announce the release of the brand new Interrogate album “Scarred for Life”.  Recorded in the first half of 2009 at Manor Park Studios, “Scarred for Life” contains 8 tracks of blistering modern metal, with a unique, melodic twist, thanks in part to the vocal techniques of singer Andy Campbell.  Produced by Neil Calderwood this album runs the gamut of crushingly heavy moments to soaring melodies, crunching guitars and pounding double-kick drums. These elements combine to deliver an unforgettable listening experience that will leave the listener aching for more.  This release will help to secure Interrogates place as one of Irelands premier Heavy Metals bands.

Scarred for Life will be available in all good record shops in the UK soon, as well as Amazon, HMV, itunes, emusic, Napster and all other major download sites.  Stay tuned to www.interrogate13.com and www.distortionprojectrecords.com where the album will also be available for purchase.
