Forever Now Festival Hosts Post-Punk Panel in the Heart of Soho

London is often hailed as the place punk started - a disillusioned youth uprising that aimed to face off with the establishment with three chords and a whole lot of aggression. 

As the spark of punk fizzled out towards the late seventies, its embers flew in various different directions - the post-punks took what they had learned from punk and ran in a million different directions. Of course, London was a foundational city in the development of the genre’s offshoots. 

It was only right that the exclusive Q&A session for the incredible Forever Now Festival took place in the heart of Soho. Music Is To Blame was there, taking in the ephemeral experience, and asking some of punk’s finest all about the festival.

Rapidly emerging to the forefront of the local Cardiff scene after working on their music and live appearances over the past few years, The Cheeky Habibis have easily grabbed the attention of local promoters and audiences a like through a series of successful appearances at the Welsh capital’s most beloved venue.

In this new instalment of our Seven Questions with Music Is To Blame series, we speak with vocalist Gabriel, drummer Hadi, and bassist Les about the band’s ongoing trajectory, their hard-to-pinpoint sound, and why ‘I’ve made it’ moments can prove dangerous.

The cold, relentless rain mirrors the sorrow of countless fans bidding farewell to a band that has defied two decades of music.

A deep, mournful blue washed over the stage, casting long, ghostly shadows over the instruments, as though standing silent, waiting for their last call. The crowd, fueled by anticipation and the haze of beer, their excitement laced with quiet grief of the impending farewell. The Final Nights of Six in Manchester was moments away from its bittersweet end.
