Gengahr are racing up the ranks of rock and roll stardom, so fast you might have missed it. Touring world wide, writing and recording an album its been a whirlwind ride that the North London four piece are taking in their stride. Their music is uplifting, easy to listen to and damn right infectious, whilst their honest lyrics, soothing vocals and addictive guitar hooks promise longevity.<\/p>\n

This festival season Converse have partnered with these laid back boys for, because nothing says rock n roll chic quite like a well used pair high tops, does it? Converse have always pioneered and supported individuality and talent, which is why its no surprise they teamed up this summer.<\/p>\n

Charmingly humble with a great attitude, we chat to the boys about their music, their style and their success so far.<\/p>\n

Did you all say from the start, “we\u2019re going to\u00a0take this seriously, this is what we want to do” or did you get to a certain point where you thought “okay, let’s do it, lets get a career out of it?”<\/b><\/p>\n

I think it’s changed, right at the beginning when we\u2019re were very young like 13\/14, I think we probably had a similar attitude to what we do now, saw this as the kind of thing we could do, but as you get slightly older things get a bit harder and life becomes a bit more real I think you kind of your belief does waver at times. Yeah I think really the point that changed for us was probably the realisation that if we don\u2019t do this now and properly take it really seriously there won\u2019t be another time to do it, everyone will have to go off and get proper jobs. I think it felt a little bit to us like the last big chance to do it and do it properly.<\/p>\n

Does it ever feel like a real job, do you ever have days when you think “I don\u2019t want to go to the studio, I don\u2019t want to play that show?”<\/b><\/p>\n

No, not really, I mean just before you jumped on we kind of joking about, we had to get up at 2:30am for a flight and then you sit in an airport for five hours and at times you kind of think that \u00a0sucks but at the same time it’s not really something you can complain about. None of your friends are really going to sympathise with you. All we do is do stuff we want to do, make music and make art and that’s the dream really isn\u2019t it. Definitely no complaints from us at the moment.<\/p>\n
