Autøne consists of vocalist/guitarist Jas Harding, bassist Jack Hoban and drummer Jack Hawley. The North Walean electro-rockers combine powerful female vocals with metal riffs to create a great blend. We challenged the trio to take on our A-Z questionnaire!

Lzzy hale, Dave grohl.. SO MANY.
Hardest thing about being in a band?
Staying dedicated, finding members willing to jump on the crazy train. Accepting the fact you’ll always have good shows and bad shows. Sometimes it’s hard to get motivated if you’re ill or whatever. I don’t like to talk money but it’s a massive factor. All about keeping everything fair. No matter what role you play.
Interesting fact about one of your members?
Jas can make her arm look broken. It’s really weird.

Most inspiring musician you’ve experienced?
I can name a few, Jenna McDougall (tonight alive) is a very nice person to talk to (as are the rest of the boys) , very spiritual and I love the way she treats the fans. The whole of the halestorm crew, I could talk gear with joe all day. Lzzy is just so honest about everything, she really sets the bar when it comes to fans as there’s not a lot she won’t share!
New band you’d recommend?
Holding absence. They’ve got some tunes out at the moment! They’re killing it in the scene, shows all over! They love what they do and I can see them getting huge.

The old days of music were better than the current, do you agree?
I think music is always going to recreate what our peers once did. But we have a lot more technology so that opens the doors to different sounds and ways of recording! So I think modern and older music are both just as good!
Unusual merchandise?
How cool would guitar straps be?
Variations you’d like to do on any of your songs?
Maybe have a guest singer!
What do your fans mean to you?
Everything! We are theirs! We will go as far as they want us and push us to!

100% Jas.
