ALEX ELBERY – ‚RIPCORD‘ + Exclusive Interview

1. Thank you very much for your time! Before we introduce your new release to our readers – what kind of drink would you recommend to zip on while they listen to your new music?

An Espresso Martini or maybe some sort of alcoholic Ginger Beer. Something that gives you a bit of pep.

2. Please give us an update about – new single, new album, tour dates, new videos?!

I’ve just released my new single and music video Ripcord off my upcoming EP ‘Unbelievably Good News.’ Playing a launch show on Dec 14 in Melbourne at Last Chance Rock n Roll Bar

3. We live in times of many conspiracy theories. Which, harmless, theory would you wish were true? (For example Dinos living inside Earth or E.T. living in a home in California)

Oh man, I love this question. I really enjoy any theories about cryptids. Bigfoot, mothman, I love all that stuff. My Dad also reckons he used to see a long extinct Tasmanian Tiger in the hills of Western Australia where I grew up. I choose to believe this is true. Also the theory that Australia doesn’t really exist and that anyone who thinks they’ve been there was tricked. That one really tickles me.

4. What fashion style or brand would best describe your music?

I always tell my band to dress like ‘Post-Apocalyptic Vegas’ for shows. Distressed Glam, if you will.

5. Tell us more about your songs! Topics! Message!?

The message is love, hope, resilience. I try to maintain a good sense of humor in my songwriting too.

6. Beside music, do you have any special talents?

Umm, not really? Haha. I like to skate but I’m not good at it and I was pretty into magic when I was a kid, I reckon I probably still have a trick or two up my sleeve.

7. Name 5 things we all should know about you as an artist?!

It’s all from the heart.

I say what I mean and mean what I say

I just want to make music that makes you happy

We can laugh through the pain together

I don’t actually know what I’m doing.

8. The road so far…. who or what was your biggest support??

My family and my partner for sure. They all saw me through some pretty horrible rough times over the past couple years.

9. A question you’d like to answer, but never been asked in an interview before?! + Answer pls

Q. If you could write and perform a theme song for any pro wrestler, who would it be and why?

Liv Morgan. I feel like her cheekiness and attitude would marry beautifully to my music.
