Fred Abbott is a guitarist and keyboardist most will recognize from legendary rock band, Noah And The Whale. Branching out on his own after the band’s hiatus, Abbott is looking to make a name all his own and he is guaranteed to do so with his debut solo album, Serious Poke. Recently, Legendary Kids Press was able to speak with him about the record, life after Noah And The Whale and his upcoming touring plans.
You played guitar and keyboards in Noah And The Whale. What made you decide to pursue music solo?
It might sound strange, considering I’m not release a solo album, but there was never any decision or intention to “go solo”. Noah And The Whale went on hiatus at the start of 2014 and that gave me the time off to finish writing some songs - some of which had been hanging around in various states for many years - and record them properly, purely for my own satisfaction. At that stage, I expected Noah to get back together and make another album in 2015, so I thought the music I was making would probably be shelved at that point and never see the light of day. But things went rather differently and here we are!
How would you say the music you’re making now differs from the music you made with Noah And The Whale?
I don’t think it’s a million miles away from what we were doing at the end of Noah. It’s still guitar-based pop rock. It’s definitely a bit rockier, with a lot more loud guitar and drums, but it’s the same musicians as Noah and a lot of the same influences.
