How would you describe yourselves?
A gritty British sounding punk
unit with a dancey feel, basically a dancier sex pistols, lad music.
Who are your main influences musically?
The Sex Pistols, Black Rebel
Motorcycle club, Oasis, The Rolling Stones, The Stone Roses.
What do you hope to achieve in music?
Grow a good enough fan base
and get our tunes heard by as many people as possible, id say we want it all
but one step at a time has to be the key.
What has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Getting a chance to support The
View acoustically in London, because they’re such a popular act and was nice
playing to a fair few people, not all the band got to play it, just me (Michael)
and guitarist Craig, but they supported us throughout and wished they could of
played themselves.
And what’s the moment you want to forget?
When we ballsed up a new tune,
basically it weren’t tight enough, but we saw its potential so we thought ah go
on we'll just play it live. It was only our second gig in front of about 10
people, but still, was comical but we've gotta stay professional if we wanna be
taken seriously, shit travels fast.
If you could choose just one of your songs to represent your music, what
would it be and why?
Just Dreamin Man, it’s got the
dance feel mentioned earlier, but a raw sound, feels fresh, but more importantly
it has a massive chorus and that’s what we're about, big choruses where the
vocal takes a step up.
Where can we listen to it?
Where can we find out more about your music?
Anything else you’d like to say about your band that I forgot to ask?
We just wanna be heard really,
we believe people will like us, big headed, confident, not too fussed how we
come across, if we were shit we'd have problems but we're not so it’s ok if you
can back it up.
