PART FOUR OF THE COMEDOWNVERSE/BAND AU WITH @hungryheartpotter AND @wolfbuck
VICE UK, 2017

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?

When you find a fic on your favourite ship, with an amazing plot and all the tropes you like.
kit connor absolutely NAILING nicks confusion mixed with attraction in the first couple of episodes is so special to me. like it’s so clear- especially in eps 2&3 that he is so confused but likes charlie so much he doesn’t know what to do with himself. and that culminated brilliantly at the start of episode four with “i’m just so so confused” (and when his voice broke </3) it was so realistic and SO well done like i was floored
regulus: I mean, if you're asking me do I love Potter the answer is yes but I just- I don't think its normal to want to kill you're boyfriend, you know?
Remus: oh yeah, no it definately is normal
Regulus: really
Remus: sure, everyone has that time once a month or so when they just feel the distinct urge to source a dagger and violently murder their significant other
Regulus: you're sure?
Remus: yeah totally, Lilly has threatened all of her girlfriend with an axe at least once
Regulus: phew! Thats a relief.
Remus: you know one time i stabbed sirius in the hand with a sharpened quill in class
Regulus:...what
Remus: what
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.
charlie spring being out as gay. nick nelson being bisexual. tara and darcy being lesbians and being proud to say that they are, not just using the word gay. isaac being aroace confirmed by alice. girl in red being played in a tv show. casual homophobia in british schools being portrayed in an accurate way and being condemned as actual homophobia not just the lads banter.
this show is something that most teenagers who grew up on this goddamn app never had in tv shows. we just got shows that queerbaited us and I’m so glad the new generation get to have actual representation. heartstopper is everything. watch it please
Even though everything I write is tagged, I decided to make a masterlist to make it easier to find stuff. Also, I don’t have actual titles for like any of these, so the “titles” are basically just what each one is about. Some of them might have the same names, but they’re different I promise! Also, my requests are always open, so if you want something written, feel free to send it in!

everyone at hogwarts knows about harrys gay dads but some people hear about these two older gay men and for the first time in their lives feel seen. some people, like a certain fruity slytherin kid.
basically draco would have been much less of a twat if he had a positive gay influence in his life, or at the very least someone to tell him he doesnt have to listen to his dad
Nick's bisexuality arc is probably one of - if not the - best part of heartstopper to me. Coz it's genuinely so nice to have a plot where a questioning character gets to not only research his sexuality, but also to talk to other queer people about their identities. He doesn't know automatically how he feels and he doesn't assume what anyone else goes through, so he goes and asks other queer people about their experiences
Nick asking Charlie about how he knew he's gay and asking Tara if she felt anything for him when they were younger is so nice to see, because you can see him start to understand that he doesn't relate to those parts of their queerness. He gets a chance to compare their experiences with same-gender attraction, and it helps him to figure out that he isn't gay but that another label would fit him better
And when he does decide that he's bisexual, he's accepted without arguments. The only time someone questions it is when his mum says that he doesn't have to say he likes girls if he doesn't, and when he confirms that he does like girls, she immediately believes him
Just them depicting a arc where people believe and celebrate him for learning that he's bisexual is so beloved. You can tell that this is a show written by queer people for queer people, and the compassion they show closeted people and bisexuals is just incredible because of it
