HOME // Entertainment // Interviews: Votre Populi on their upcoming album ‘The Comedown’ and Married Life
Rising from obscurity in the recent months, London AltPunk Revival band Votre Populi has skyrocketed to the top of the UK Alternative charts and has quickly made its way overseas to a budding North American audience as well. I had the pleasure of sitting down with all five members at VICE UK HQ on Monday for their second interview with us, and was thrilled to find what every other modern punk-loving publication has said so far to be true: all five rockers are as handsome and charming as they are talented.
Votre Populi’s face and voice, Sirius Black, is the notorious Bromley Contingent-style punk prettyboy who has stolen the hearts of Instagram users of all genders, but the band is more than just his lovely face; guitarist Remus Lupin, bassist James Potter, drummer Lily Evans Potter (that’s right folks, they’ve got a GIRL drummer!) and Peter Pettigrew on the synth.
Lily and James, as pictured in our gallery, tied the knot in spring after dating for three years, and have a baby boy called Harry as of the 31st of July. I wanted to ask the big questions, and know how their life as parents and newlyweds has affected the band.
VICE UK: First of all. Welcome back to the VICE UK office. It’s so great to have you here again, and after such a busy year!
LILY: More like during, really. Album’s not ready yet, after all, and after that, there’ll be another bloody tour.
JAMES: But thank you! We’re happy to be here.
SIRIUS: Yeah Lily, don’t be a sourpuss.
LILY: (laughing) F**k off, you. Don’t tell me not to be a sourpuss until you give birth.
VICE UK: I can imagine it’s been very trying, Lily. A big wedding, a new baby, and then another album! How do you do it?
LILY: Drugs and alcohol mostly.
PETER: She’s kidding.
LILY: Obviously. The real answer is making the men do everything else for me. What use are men if they aren’t going to wait on me hand and foot?
SIRIUS: Hear hear!
LILY: Okay seriously, of course being busy has been stressful, but it’s also been very easy. I have an incredible support system, between these idiots and my family and James’s family, and our friends… The list goes on, but I assure you, I’ve been very lucky.
VICE UK: Oh, that’s so sweet! I’m sure having your husband there with you helps quite a bit. What about the other three? It must be strange to have two band members married. Do you ever feel left behind, or do you have special someones as well?
(read on)
“heartstopper is cringey” you mean it’s realistic? yeah their love story might be a little awkward, but it’s because they’re literally kids. kids are awkward. kids are cringey. y’all just aren’t used to accurate portrayals of 14/15 year olds in the media.
James: "I just tried making a reservation at the library."
Lily: "You don't need a reserv-"
James: "But I couldn't get one."
Remus, already knows what's coming: "Please shut up."
James: "It was fully...."
Marlene, softly: "Don't."
James: "Booked."
Remus, Lily and Marlene:
Sirius: *cackling*

How will he handle this new challenge? Will he fall into old habits and keep history repeating itself or does he step in and take destiny in his own hand.
I plan this to be very long and spanning over all years of the war. And very slow burn.

Wow, this took me a while, but if I’ve missed any of your favourite fics, please feel free to link them in your reblogs or in the comment section below!
Happy reading! 😄💕
When you find a fic on your favourite ship, with an amazing plot and all the tropes you like.
25% is better than 0%. trying a little is better than not trying at all. eating a protein bar is better than nothing. using dry shampoo is better than not showering. cleaning one section of your room or house is better than not cleaning any of it. writing a paragraph of your essay is better than not starting it. whatever you can manage today is okay. you can try again tomorrow. little steps are to be proud of.

I plan this to be very long and spanning over all years of the war. And very slow burn.
I never was good with decisions.
I'm a genderfluid, pansexual and polyamore.
I never made a decision in my life!
Hi.
I wrote my first fic for the drarry fandom.
It is going to be a very long one. It is a time travel rewrite. Very Au and slow burn.
Draco is transported into the past, into his 11 year old body. But he isn't only carrying mental scars from the war he went through, but his body shows his battles he fought. How will he handle all that knowledge of the future?
I'm excited and would love if you could give it a go
Travels Throught Time
Here is a little excerpt of the first chapter:
With a sign he stands up and opens the door. And sure enough he stands in the hallways of Malfoy Manor. Something is still off, didn't mother just take all of the portraits down. But all around he was greeted with old Malfoy Lords and Lady's.
He walks over to the bathroom, this one at least was just how he remembers it. Over at the sink he turns the water on and splashed his face, he needs to get rid of that nagging feeling at the back of his head. He cups water in his hands and drinks a few sips.
His eyes travel to the mirror over the sink and he screams.
He screams until hands shake him and brake eye contact between him and his reflection.
