Damian Lewis Speaks to Pulse Magazine Ahead of Milton Keynes Show at The Stables, Wavendon

“It’s a wonderful, brilliant, creative outlet, and something very different”

Sammy Jones | Pulse Magazine | November 6, 2023

Damian Lewis is one of our best loved actors, but his current role sees him stepping out of the screen and onto the musical stage, as he realized a long held dream. As he prepares to visit Milton Keynes, he talks with Pulse’s Sammy Jones about swapping acting for truthful sounds.

The album, Mission Creep, was released to flowing reviews earlier this year. “It’s an album that is real and warm and moody,” I say.  “That’s nice, good…that is what we were hoping it would sound like,” Samian says, “I definitely wanted it to have that quite present feel – that you feel you are in the room with us. We recorded on tape, we didn’t do it digitally, and I think a lot of those takes are actually live takes of me signing with the band on some of those songs.”
