Here I am sat with Ava-Rose the lead singer of the band The Corrections where we are going to be discussing their success in the past year.
Hiya Ava so tell me, how did you all come up with the band name?
Well it seems quite cliché but all of us in the band have been through a bad point in our lives so by creating the band we had made a 'correction' to our life which put us back on track. I guess the name was influenced from our crazy teenage years which inspired us to form a band.
Have the three of you in the band always been friends?
Yes! We have all known each other from a very young age so it is very easy to know how to annoy one another. It's great though that we have been on this journey together and all stuck as a band.
It's amazing how far you have all come, is it still surreal to you?
Honestly none of us can quite get our head round the fact that 2 years ago we were finishing college whilst doing the occasional gig and now we are touring the UK. We love every second of our career and we still can't believe that people want to come and watch us perform. It's definitely been a very surreal experience which none of us would change for the world. But what people forget is we are just 3 musicians from East London who got lucky.
Okay so in three years time who would you like to be as big as?
If I could be as big as anyone, I would definitely have to say Oasis. They are THE coolest band and definitely know how to rock the stage, I just love watching their old sets when they performed at festivals, it really gives me a buzz.
Well, what festivals have The Corrections got planned for this summer?
This year we are performing at Reading festival which is so exciting as when we were teenagers we used to always go. So to actually perform at an event which we went to as teenagers is surreal and an amazing experience. We are also performing on the main stage at Glastonbury which honestly we can't get our heads around. We see it as the pinnacle of UK festivals so to actually perform there will be incredible!
Now lets talk about your new album release, Lifeline. It must feel amazing that the album has reached number 1 after only a week
It's so exciting isn't it? When we found out we were on the tour bus and our band manager told us, so we just cranked up the radio and partied till early hours. Let's just say it was a very messy night but was truly one of the greatest moments of the bands history.
Even Coldplay have said they are addicted to your album! It must feel amazing that the band is such a huge success in the music industry
Yes! Wow, when someone told us that we were in such shock! We honestly questioned whether they meant us. Seriously though to be recognised by other well known bands is a great feeling. Very exhilarating, we even heard they have bought tickets for our tour
Speaking of the tour, give us a clue and tell the fans who is going to be supporting you guys?
Well well well, lets just put it this way it's an upcoming artist who is going to take the music industry by storm. But that's all I'm giving away.
Finally Ava if you could perform with anyone dead or alive who would it be?
Personally I would love to perform with Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys, he is so talented and very easy on the eye! But I think Elvis is also amazing he just knew how to get the crowd going which for us is very important!
I am also going to add some songs which the band has been listening to in a separate box.
