Coffee Time News is proud to introduce our readers to the work of Mr. Tom Bates.  We found out about his contributions to two excellent bands based in Ireland and got hooked to his fine music which can be found on Spotify, Bandcamp and YouTube.  After reading this informative interview, feel free to check out Frankenstein Bolts and their dream pop sounds, and Forlorn and their heavier alternative rock sound, which our student-journalists have added to their playlists.  Beyond being an excellent drummer, Tom Bates has great views on today's music scene, which you can be read in our new issue featuring him.  Learn all about Mr. Bates, the Irish music scene and the future of music.  The interview was too big to fit into our printed edition, so definitely check it out in its entirety on our website. It can be found in our UNABRIDGED INTERVIEWS section. We thank Mr. Bates for his time meeting with Constança Simões, Rafaela Matos, Diogo Borges, Isabel Borges and Yuri Sundermeyer.
