For a new band like London quartet The One Hundred<\/strong>, playing a festival such as Sonisphere<\/strong> is a huge opportunity to get seen by many new faces. However, having witnessed their 30 minutes of genre-mashing blend of metal, rap and electronica, it is safe to say The One Hundred<\/strong> made a significant impression to those who woke up early on Sunday to see their set in the Satellite tent.<\/p>\n Having successfully made their festival debut, we spoke to vocalist Jacob Field and guitarist Tim Hider to find out what they thought to their festival debut. The pair also discussed their forthcoming debut EP and we find out what lessons they\u2019ve learned from Sonisphere<\/strong> 2014.<\/p>\n Already Heard: So Sonisphere is your first ever festival?<\/strong> Tim: It\u2019s been a crazy experience. So many great bands and then we\u2019re playing as well.<\/em><\/p>\n Jacob: It\u2019s an added bonus. You see these festivals and you go, \u201cI\u2019d love to go there\u201d then they tell you \u201cyou\u2019re playing it\u201d and you go \u201cok cool.\u201d I get to see some bands and I\u2019m playing it. Brilliant!<\/em><\/p>\n AH: Have you been here all weekend?<\/strong> Jacob: The party animal has been here since Thursday morning.<\/em><\/p>\n Tim: I\u2019m still going strong. He\u2019s been here 2 days and he\u2019s already tired and wants to go home (laughs).<\/em><\/p>\n Jacob: I don\u2019t want to go home. I\u2019m just bit of a princess, I\u2019m not gonna lie. I need my beauty sleep, that is how I see it.<\/em><\/p>\n AH: You can\u2019t beat having your own bed.<\/strong> AH: What bands have you seen over the past few days?<\/strong> Tim: Yeah Bizkit, The Prodigy on Friday night. They were wicked. <\/em><\/p>\n Jacob: They were spot on.<\/em><\/p>\n Tim: Saw Iron Maiden last night. I saw Baby Metal on Saturday, that was interesting (everyone laughs.) Yeah they were an experience.<\/em><\/p>\n Jacob: You also saw The Hell.<\/em><\/p>\n Tim: Yeah I did.<\/em><\/p>\n Jacob: I saw Glamour of the Kill. They were really, really good. That was the first time I\u2019ve properly seen them. They smashed it. So yeah we\u2019ve seen some good bands. Today has been a bit of a write off though hasn\u2019t it?<\/em><\/p>\n Tim: Yeah we\u2019ve been busy.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n AH: We saw you play earlier at 11:30am. How was that?<\/strong> Tim: We were thinking \u201cwere people going to turn up on Sunday morning?\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n Jacob: And for some reason a lot of people turned up.<\/em><\/p>\n AH: It\u2019s always difficult playing that early set. You don\u2019t know how people are going to be or if they\u2019re going to be around. <\/strong> AH: We caught the second half of your set. I enjoyed the last song you played. <\/strong> AH: When can we expect to hear that properly?<\/strong> AH: Is that already done?<\/strong> Jacob: Yeah, I think it\u2019s all going to be tied in to the ongoing process of the EP etc.<\/em><\/p>\n AH: So is the EP finished now?<\/strong> AH: For those who haven\u2019t heard you before, what can they expect from the EP?<\/strong> AH: So it best represents who you are?<\/strong> AH: So all bits of different genres thrown together?<\/strong> AH: Besides from Sonisphere, do you have any other festivals lined up?<\/strong> AH: As this is your first festival, what lessons have you learned from being at Sonisphere?<\/strong> Tim: Yep it\u2019s your fault. <\/em><\/p>\n Jacob: My fault for not being there, so I\u2019m sorry for that as well.<\/em><\/p>\n AH: So with the EP and tour, anything else in the works?<\/strong> Jacob: Apologies for us because we\u2019re going to be rammed down your throat an awful lot. There\u2019s alot of things we are announcing but we\u2019re not fully announcing. We\u2019ll just give you a little insight. <\/em><\/p>\n Tim: There is loads of stuff coming but you\u2019ve just got to wait for it.<\/em><\/p>\n AH: Any final words to share with the Already Heard readers?<\/strong> The One Hundred<\/strong> links: Website<\/a>|Facebook<\/a>|Twitter<\/a><\/p>\n
Jacob: Yeah, first proper festival. It\u2019s been incredible, that\u2019s all I can say. It has been a pleasure, more than a pleasure.<\/em><\/p>\n
Tim: Yeah I\u2019ve been here since Thursday.<\/em><\/p>\n
Jacob: No, exactly and I don\u2019t live too far out so I might as well drive back home, have a little nap and come back again later, haha.<\/em><\/p>\n
Jacob: (Limp) Bizkit!<\/em><\/p>\n
Jacob: Surprisingly, it was really good actually. It was nice to see people alive after Saturday. After yesterday everyone was kind of not with it at all, it was a very very drunk night.<\/em><\/p>\n
Jacob: We were really lucky. The kids got really into it. I couldn\u2019t ask for more.<\/em><\/p>\n
Jacob: Yeah that\u2019s the new single \u2018Downfall\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n
Tim: In the next couple of weeks probably. There will be a music video for it at some point.<\/em><\/p>\n
Tim: Not yet. We\u2019re yet to do that, but it will be coming out at the end of the summer along with the EP.<\/em><\/p>\n
Jacob: Yeah it\u2019s all done. Written and finalised. That comes out early Autumn. <\/em><\/p>\n
Jacob: Its quite a cliche thing to say but it really is quite different. There\u2019s a lot of things on there that will appeal to a lot of different people from different genres of music. There are certain tracks that have that hip-hop vibe to it, there\u2019s some nu-metal tracks, there\u2019s some more poppier parts with hip-hop elements to it. We\u2019re really proud of it. We just hope people dig it as much as we dig it. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Jacob: Yeah exactly. We\u2019re kind of a rap, grimey metal band so if you like the rap sections of it, there is going to be a lot of them. If you love synths and DJ elements, there is a lot of that in there and there is a lot of riffs and screaming, so if you\u2019re into any one of those things you should definitely check it out.<\/em><\/p>\n
Jacob: Yeah, it shouldn\u2019t work but somehow it does. That is how we go with it. <\/em><\/p>\n
Tim: Yeah we\u2019ve got Redfest in a couple of weeks, and then we\u2019ve got Hevy and Altfest in August. There\u2019s another one in Wales which we can\u2019t announce yet, but there is one there for all the Welsh fans out there. Then after that its a tour at the end of the year.<\/em><\/p>\n
Jacob: I haven\u2019t learnt much, but what I have learnt is that him and our bassist (Phil) need to stop drinking as they stumbled in at half 5 this morning, 5 hours we\u2019re meant to be at our stage soundchecking. I don\u2019t know how Phil looked better than me in the morning when he was up all night, and I managed to get some sleep but somehow he did. Your lesson to learn Timothy is to stop drinking so much, and mine is to be a better role model for you to follow, haha.<\/em><\/p>\n
Tim: There is a cover track in the works that we\u2019re working on. We\u2019re not announcing what that is yet. <\/em><\/p>\n
Jacob: You should check us out – www.theonehundredband.com<\/a>. You can download our single and watch all our videos there, see all of our tour dates and there is no excuse to not download our track as its free.<\/em><\/p>\n
