A bright new hope for the next era in metal and alternative drumming combining a stern adherence to solid theory with a radical and inventive approach to composition, Joe Butterworth is set to be instrumental in bringing on the new wave of alternative music.
Background
Drumming from as young as the age of 5, Joe has come far since his realisation of the desire of the career ahead of him. After insistent playing in early childhood, matter were taken to a more formal level by enrolling for studies at the Freddie Gee Drum Academy and the ACM (Academy of Contempoary Music) in Guildford respectively, eventually being awarded not only grade 5 in drums from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama, but Btec National Diplomas in Popular music from Eastleigh college in 2002 and from the ACM itself in 2003. Following such respected qualifications, Joe sought to develop his already considerable talents through further instruction, including lessons from Mike Sturgis, Pete Riley, Jon Duff, Steve White, Keith le Blanc, Gregg Bissonette and the mighty Glenn Clarke. Facing the world of proffesional musicianship armed with a practiced understanding of rudiments, syncopation and double kick technique, Joe soon gained positions in local outfits, reaching further recognition when he replaced Paul White (now of Fourwaykill and NYA fame) in alternative metal act, Nephwrack.
Style and Influence
Calling on a wide variety of influences, Joe is keen to acknowledge the forefathers of his discipline as much as contemporary icons in modern drumming. As well as many elements of ethnic drumming and electronic programming - anything as long as it challenges. From the likes of Nicko Mcbrain (Iron Maiden) and Joey Jordison (Slipknot) to Andy Gangadeen (The Bays / Massive Attack) and Dennis Chambers (Parliment Funkadelic), notes and lessons have been taken and interpreted to create a stunning combination of styles in the current climate of alternative music and drums, inovation is key. Joe has taken on the need to stand out from the lineup of simply 'adequate' skinsmen by searching for new and unconventional methods such as gravity blasting and setup alignments that allow unexpected sounds and nuances. Giving full credence to the need to provide a visualy stimulating performace intop of merely the music, Joe could never be accused of simply 'sitting there', instead giving audiences a specatcle of movement and action over and above what can typically be expected of most in his field. As a result, he will doubtless shortly be regarded as one of the truly stand-out drummers in metal - a genre consistently associated with advanced dexterity and extreme technical prowess.
Whats Ahead
Having been swiftly drafted into Interlocks ranks at the start of 2007, Joe has absorbed the existing repetoire of songs at record speed and immediatley made them his own, putting a recognisable new stamp on the songs that earned 2005's 'crisis//reinvention' its critical praise. With a new year ahead, Interlock are taking to the studio after extensivley touring the US and UK, to write and record their follow up album on Anticulture Records. With plans to record at Berry Street studios in London over the summer, Joes inimitable playing style and technical ability will be evident throughout the release, as is clear in work undergone so far on demoed tracks. Comprehensive touring to support the new album will follow an international release in the latter part of 2007, accompanied by extensive press campaigns and coverage in both musical and muscian-based publications alike. Fans of Joe Butterworth and Interlock can expect to see him in regular metal magazines as well as the more respected drumming-themed titles such as 'Rhythm' and 'Modern Drummer'.

Thanks a lot for the request and for your support. We really appreciate it.
Seems like you are a drummer with awsome skills. As we are hardly seeking an ambitious drummer around here, it's always a little disappointing to see, there are such good musicians around elsewhere.
All the best and much success! Vale! C. Hoffarth | BANN
