How TheAlarm’s Mike Peters is staying creative in quarantine
Striding along the sea singing a song called, well,"Irish Sea" might seem like an obvious setting for the new video from the Alarm's Mike Peters. But the clip for the soaring, anthemic track -- shot on Rhyl Beach and premiering below from the group's upcoming project"The house I was born in overlooked the Irish Sea," Peters tells Billboard."My formative up bringing was 100 yards from the real seafront, where the Irish Sea laps up onto North Wales.
"I thought it might be interesting to see how these songs stack up in the modern environment," Peters explains."When you carry these things like I do, playing them every night, they change with the audience and the circumstances and the lifetime you live. So I've gone back and remade them as contemporary songs and applied the musical thinking and knowledge I have today to see where they would go if they're arranged for today.
"I was doing my best to keep the band together, trying to appease the warring factions, so to speak, and it felt like I'd almost lost a little bit of myself in the confusion," Peters recalls."When I went back to these songs and looked at them in a different way and I different sequence, I really saw what was going on -- the problems we were having especially makingrecord, is when changes happened and you start coming back upstream and rediscover your true self.
During the interim he and his wife Jules are staying creative by hosting a weekly Facebook Live called ."We run it like a mini broadcast studio," says Peters, who on April 25 will be hosting a performance of the theater piece."I get to play some songs and talk and have a couple of video premieres. We've made it quite a special show for Alarm fans, so we've got that to look forward to until we're released from our homes and we can get back to our normal lives, the way they were before this coronavirus came along.
