EXCLUSIVE: ROUGH ONLINE CHATS WITH LCMDF ABOUT THEIR NEW SINGLE 'THANK GOD I DIDN'T GET TO KNOW YOU AT ALL''

Well...what can we say about LCMDF...that they are by far one of Rough Online's favourite Electro Pop bands that we will soon have the pleasure of seeing live in concert very soon. But before we see them Rock out on stage to their hot new album the duo have entitled "Sad Bangers" we thought we'd have a little catch up with band member Emma Kemmpainen, about their new single "Thank God I Didn't Get To Know You At All," their upcoming tour and most importantly...fashion:

 

ROUGH ONLINE:   Firstly, I need to tell you that Rough Online love love love "Thank God I Didn't Get To Know You At All." If we had a chart of the best tracks of 2018, yours would definitely been in our Top 5. How did the song come about? What was its' inspiration?

LCMDF:  Thank you! It came to life as I was going through a short period of serial dating and tinder-discovery. I felt like there still was a kind of conservative idea in the back of my head of needing to find a prince on a white horse and live happily ever after, so I came up with a mantra: I don't know you, don't even wanna know you. Band member Mia walked into the room and sang super loudly: THANK GOD I DIDN'T GET TO KNOW YOU AT ALL. And that's how the song came to life really. All of our songs are a result of bouncing ideas back and forth between us two.

ROUGH ONLINE:  You have a throwback Pop sound, which reminds Rough Online of the 90's. Are there any Eurodance influences in your music? And if not, who are your musical heroes?

LCMDF:  In 'Thank god I didn't get to know you at all' we wanted to have the most cheerful happy chorus and eurodance (especially swedish 90s eurodance hits) inspired us a lot. It's a bit of a tongue in cheek, ironic take on indie-dance.

ROUGH ONLINE:  Fans have been aching for a full-length album since your 2010 L.P "Love and Nature." What can fans expect to hear from your brand new album out now?

 

LCMDF:  As writers we've matured a bit since Love and Nature, without losing the punk and riot we will always carry with us. The album might sound like a compilation of happy indie dance songs, but the story behind it is much more than that, it really shapes the way you listen to the album. We shared the story behind the album making process and the lyrics on our facebook page via the following link https://www.facebook.com/notes/lcmdf/im-not-a-robot-my-personal-story-of-how-sad-bangers-came-to-life/10154962484142168/

ROUGH ONLINE:  Being a fashion magazine, ROUGH ONLINE love your slick, Leather, Rock-Chick style and image, which you carry with perfection. Do you have any fashion icons that you look up to?

LCMDF:   Thank you! We've been super inspired by Justice, the Strokes, 00s bloghaus era, The Dude from Big Lebovsky and Kim Wilde in the 80s. It's a kind of androgynous look combining classic pieces with over the top rock-aeshtetics and big hair.

ROUGH ONLINE:  Your UK fans are craving to see you perform live. Are there any UK dates coming up?

LCMDF:  We're touring with Satellite Stories in October and will be playing in London at the Lexington October 15th, buy your Tickets
