Standing in the shade of the portaloos, The Officers are still looking every inch the rock stars after their performance on the Sunday. I caught up with the guys to find out how their set went鈥�

鈥淥耻迟谤补驳别辞耻蝉!鈥�

鈥淚 don't think they were into how dirty it was getting!鈥�

Describing themselves as 鈥榯he future of rock and roll鈥�, the electro-rock five-piece have already impressed crowds throughout the UK after playing shows with celebrated band Placebo and supporting The Cooper Temper Clause.

鈥淭hat was great!鈥� says vocalist Matt, 鈥淓very show鈥檚 just about what we're doing really, we don't really concentrate on who we're playing with or anything like that 鈥� you've really got to knuckle down and get into it, and sort of think about who you're trying to reach and who you're trying to connect with really鈥� I thought we more than held our own, definitely, and it was great just for reaching a few more people鈥�.

鈥淚t was a good experience just to play on that level really鈥� added synth-player Stu, 鈥淛ust to prove to ourselves that we're capable of doing it.鈥�

The festival's main stage

Having formed only a year ago, the band have already had an amazing year in terms of achievement with a growing list of shows and festival appearances and establishing that all important unique sound. So what does the next few months hold for The Officers?

鈥淩ecording. We're going to do a demo and probably [start] the album, which is going to be pretty exciting鈥� say the band, 鈥淲e'll be going into the studio with Jagz Kooner, developing our sound and everything about the band so we're as good as we can be 鈥� we're just willing to put everything we've got into it鈥�.

So with an album and plenty more shows to come, keep your eyes and ears open for more from The Officers in the near future.
