A song that made you want to make music? – If we go for a group effort that we can all agree on  – Midlife Crisis by Faith no More

Craziest thing you’ve experienced in the band? – having to break out of our apartment in London when we were staying when recording the first singles. The security system failed so we were locked in!

Deepest lyric one of your songs features? – They’re all deep lol. This single though includes the line – I didn’t lose my mind it lost me. It has a lot of meanings

Easiest song you wrote? – They all take work but maybe Animal our next single seemed to come together quickly

Favourite song in your set? – we all really enjoy playing this single Running

Guest you’d most like to feature on your record? – You’d get a lot of mileage out of Dave Grohl. Vox, guitars, drums guitars. In fact you could pretty much let him do it all lol

Hardest thing about being in a band? Time. We all work and there’s so much that we want to do, songs sat in the wing, recording new songs, videos, photos. We need more of it!

Interesting fact about one of your members? About 3 years ago Matt cycled the Tumble (which is a hill used by tour cyclists for training) 10 times up and down in a day for charity whic takes some doing. This was pre band, now he’d struggle to make it a mile to the shop to buy his smokes lol

Jokes you have in the band? Huw Thomas Security is a big one which is all related to having to escape the flat in London and Huws amazing job to secure if after we got back in

Most inspiring musician you’ve experienced? When we recorded our first singles in London we went to see Mike The Patton with Dead Cross and it was great to see him in such a small venue.

New band you’d recommend? We saw THiS recently and they were really tight and great live
Opening for this band would be ideal? It’s hard not to say QOTSA as we’re all such huge fans

Reason for the title of your recent/forthcoming release? It’s all about being under pressure and feeling like you’re losing your mind so you’re trying to escape it.
