DANNIKA WEBBER may be new to the magazine,

but she isn’t new to the music industry. But even in

this day, she informs us that being a woman in the

rock industry can be tough at times...

EVAROSE are only one of many

 all-girl rock bands, formed in the

past few years. We caught up with

vocalist DANNIKA to find out whether

being a woman in the rock industry

is still as tough as it has always been...

When did you decide that you wanted

to be in the music industry?

“It was never just a sudden decision

to become a rockstar, I’ve wanted to

be one for as long as I can remember.”

Did your parents have any influence

on your decision?

“My parents would play me a lot of

classic rock music as a child. My

childhood was hearing my parents

play Queen and other older bands.

If it wasn’t for my parents, I wouldn’t

have discovered the bands

influence me now.”

Were your parents supportive

of your decision to become

a rockstar.?

“I was lucky that my parents

were very supportive of my decision.

My parents are my biggest fans.”

Who are your curent influences?

“My influences are what everyone

 is listening to right now.I listen

to a lot of modern rock.

Bands such as The Used, My

Chemical Romance, Taking Back

Sunday, etc are my current

favourites.”

Have you found that your gender

has affected the way people look

at your band?

“Being in an all-girl rock band is

tough. But we’ve been incredibly

lucky that our fans have stuck

with us no matter what. We’ve

only ever encountered sexist

hate over the internet. But let’s

be honest - sending hate over the

internet is childish. You can only

laugh.”

Was there a particular moment

in your career when you knew

that, as a band, you had made it?

“Hearing our fans sing the lyrics

back to us was a special moment.

Although, nothing beats the feeling of the first night of our first ever

headline tour. At that moment, we

all looked at eachother and were

all thinking the same thing.

Knowing that we’ve built up a

big enough fanbase to have

our own headline tour is

such an amazing feeling.”

What are the plans for the future

of Evarose?

“We’re currently writing and

recording our first full-length

album which is exciting. It’s hard

to tell what is in the future for

Evarose, but we love what we do

and can only hope that our first

album is not our last.

We’re really excited to be

looking into touring beyond the

U.K and meeting as many of our

fans as possible. We love our

fans!”

The EPs “Creation Divide” and

“Elements” can be found on

ITunes.
