Counterfeit on having to prove themselves: 'It's a real test for us not to be lazy'

'Enough' rockers Counterfeit have revealed that being asked to prove themsevles has helped them to hone their talent.

The band, who are gearing up for a European tour, talked to Stitched Sound about trying to secure their reputation and confessed that in England the public want bands to show them why they should be fans, which has spurred them on:

"We were blessed in January when we went out on the road in Europe and a lot of the show sold out. But over here in the UK, people are like, “come on then, show us why we should come to your gig and if you play a good show, we will come back again” and that has sort of been a real test for us to not be lazy. Not that we were lazy, but it’s a reminder that we can’t be lazy.”

“We leave everything out on the stage. That is what we like to do, that is how we like to play and that is what the songs call for. It’d be weak if we played really fast, punky songs and just sort of stood around. We’re about sweat, blood, and tears. It doesn’t matter if it’s one person or a thousand people, we are going to go out there and try and smash it as best we can.”
