Do you think the problem is by the publishers, or is it because of the radios, which is that failure?
DF: When I do interview this question always comes to the fore. I answer the same way. Blame it all. And when I say everyone is from the bands, projects, artists, composers to the public. We cannot compare the musical culture of a Portuguese with of an average American. Any of them is a doctor with us compared, in my opinion. There are countries where the role of music in culture is very pronounced. It is even a trace of their national identity. People are musicians, because the parents were, grandparents were and do it naturally. We are a backward country and limited in this regard.
Will that be due to the cult on Anglo-Saxon music?
DF: The category includes American and English. I think not, I argue that we have a cult for English music. There are projects that stick from the USA, are seasonal, as it has a great promotional machine behind they stay for some time. But in real terms than the audience hears, sees and feels the English influence is much higher in Portuguese bands. It's a shame the public does not have this notion.
And the name love terror?
DF: The idea is not ours, was for a friend. He wanted to form a band, I always said you'd call it love horror, but as he never did anything, I got the idea and the name, because it defines us as people and as sound. We did not know there were so many bands with the name of love. From time to time groups began to emerge from this dichotomy. It is a matter of identification, with the sound and our personalities.
But, you are terrific is that?
DF: No, (laughs) is to explain the bipolarity of the band. The feelings that define us as human beings. We are sad, or happy. Passionate, or depressed. It is a way to play with life, with ups and downs. All those clichés, words that rhyme.
You have already a title for the album?
DF: Is been the hardest thing to do. Because, no one wants to error on the name of their first child. Nobody wants to get a foot in the ring already. First things are always the most difficult to obtain, from my point of view. The first phrase of the song, the first few notes and then the first name of the album.
The launch is still to April next year?
DF: We do not know, maybe it will be before. The problem is the record companies and the space they have to put our album in a market so small, such as Portuguese. You must be spaced and timed. Although we have no label, we are in talks with two or three, have not found the beacon time to do so. There are many suggestions. Today the music world is very different, it's hard to put a project on the market, and the media are also different. The distribution is difficult because people do not buy the CD. Much less for the next year, it will be complicated. But we in one way or another, with or without a label music company, we’ll get our music to people.
