Fresh off their ‘unreal’ set on the Avalanche Stage, we catch up with Charlotte and Luca from pop-punk band Autumn Fires at Download Festival. They share the incredible story of winning ‘The Deal’ competition, a contest that landed them their dream slot at the legendary festival.
In this interview, we dive into the surreal experience of playing to a massive crowd, the meaning behind their recommended song ‘Sandcastles,’ and the pop-punk and emo influences (from Green Day to Paramore) that shape their sound. Find out what’s next for the band, including an EP with Marshall Records, and which emoji perfectly describes their music.
