“Our music is inspired by our lives and the world in which we live in. We do not need art-ists or bands influencing our way of making music. It’s not for us.”Through Chris Giles education, he was never really the cool kid.

Chris talks to us about how music has shaped his life, without the

necessary need of artists shaping his influence, He talks about

how music helped his life in all aspects of his life.

“If you want to know about my life, pick up a CD and there will

always be some sort of song talking about growing up”

King Noz, a new indie band

on the scene, have entered the

music world with a fresh at-

titude to life. Chris Giles, lead

guitarist, opens up to us about

the band.

Chris Giles, an ec-

centric 20 year old male lead

guitarist, sees himself as a bit

of a rebellious teenager, with

a love of music. As a school

child, he was always the odd

one out. He described herself

as an outsider of her school

peers. “While everyone had

the latest shoes, I was happy

in a pair of battered Doc-

tor Martin’s boots and stripy

socks.” The latest album, Cool

for School, was reflective of his

time at secondary school.

“My band members also went

to the same school as me, and

they too were outsiders. We

were never really the cool

kids. People judged us before

they even knew us.”

Home life for Chris was often

an issue also, Bina resulted to

singing and writing his own

lyrics about his childhood. “If

you want to know about my

life, pick up a CD and there

will always be some sort of

song talking about growing

up.”

For Chris, he lead a life of

mystery, growing up with three

older sisters with no recol-

lection of her mother, life was

always a struggle for him. His

music therefore esculated from

there.

So what about their influences?

“Our music is inspired by our

lives and the world in which

we live in. We do not need art-

ists or bands influencing our

way of making music. It’s not

for us.”Chris told us that he

was inspired by individual’s

and the way they think.

So what about the future for

King Noz? We asked Bina

about the gigs and any forth

coming albums.

“We hope to do a few more

gigs soon. We’re dueting with

Tempting Rosie in the summer.

As for albums, we are releas-

ing a new album soon called

Rumours. It should be an excit-

ing year,”

King Noz have been described

as an upbeat indie band, with

their complicated drum beats

and excit ing synths on the

keyboard. With their poignant

songs about life and love, who

could not resist their wonder-

ful music? Not us, that’s for

sure!
