STAFFORD CALLING!

And Flea speaks to NME.COM backstage...

RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS new album sounds like “Bulgarian pygmies crossed with Transylvanian choir groups”, bassist FLEA told NME.COM at last night’s V FESTIVAL.

The group, who played the event in Stafford last night (August 16), added a splash of Clash to their headlining performance.

Before a triumphant set, the band took time out to speak to NME.COM.
