Drafting and Planning: Drafts For Articles

'It's my job to contribute something amazing to the music industry' says George Hegenbarth, solo member of Lily of the Valley. At midnight on December 5th, his debut album, Silver Linings, will hit the shelves of the UK and take the world by storm. After days and nights at Abbey Road Studios, this charming fellows hard work will pay off when his strategically produced album full of metaphorical lyrics and indie guitar riffs, reaches the peak of it's possible success.

If the single Killer Intuitions is anything to go by, this album will prove to be something worth hyping about. ‘I’d love to be able to play festivals like Reading and Leeds or Glastonbury, and play next to bands such as Arctic Monkeys, I think that’d be a real dream come true’, Hegenbarth says, and with an album like his, there’s no doubt about this happening. Before we know it, Lily of the Valley’s pop melodies and up-beat drumming will be filling the festival fields in no time.

With influences such as the significant Arctic Monkeys and Oasis, his music is certain to please the huge fan base that has been formed from the hearing of his singles. The 20 year old found inspiration from artists such as Nine Inch Nails and Prince, following the solo artist path and blowing the minds of all music lovers. ‘I have always wanted to follow the lead of artists such as Prince in terms of how spectacular the music was, but also incorporate my favourite artists into this idea, I think I may just succeed in this,’ says Hegenbarth and us here at Deep think that he will achieve this.

'So when will you be going on tour? How do you feel about being on tour?'
George: Well my tour should be starting on April 20th 2015 in the UK and then there is actually talk of there being an American tour too which is pretty cool. I’m so excited for this tour, seeing as it’s my first proper one I’m still a bit nervous. Being away from my family and friends will be hard but it will definitely be worth seeing my fans enjoying my music. The sights would also be cool seeing as I've never been to quite a lot of places in which I’m going. I think I’m mostly excited to go to Liverpool just for the Beatles nostalgia.

‘Are you nervous for your album release?’
George: Kind of, I think I have a sort of nervous excitement about it all. I just hope that my fans like it, and seeing as it is my first album, I've never experienced anything like this before. I just want to know how it is accepted by the fans really. On the upside, my mom likes it which is the main thing.

‘How do you feel about Killer Intuitions?’
George: Well I think it’s my biggest achievement in my lifetime. I feel like I've waited my whole life to write and produce this album and I really feel accomplished now that it’s actually finished. I feel like everything about this is a success and I personally think that this is a pretty exciting album 

‘Is there a reason behind the name of your band and your album?’
George: My band name is actually a reference to Breaking Bad; I’m a bit of a fanboy about it really so I thought it’d be quite fitting to have a reference as my band name really. The album name came from a story of my past actually; it’s a bit weird really. I thought my dog wanted to kill me so I guess it sort of came from that.
