We Were Promised Jetpacks Discusses The Transition Made For ‘Out of Interest’ Album

Adam Thompson, front man for the Scottish rock band, We Were Promised Jetpacks, recently developed a new trick for dealing with the often-unsettling post-show doldrums. As a touring band, Thompson and crew traveled a lot pre pandemic, often for upwards of six-to-eight months at a time. And after each show, the front man would often stay in his head sweating the small details that might have gone wrong on stage. This, though, he found, only compounded any actual issue. So, Thompson decided to visit the merch stand after gigs and talk to the people that came to see the band. The result, he says, has been night and day for Thompson, whose group released their latest EP, Out Of Interest, in June.
