How
would you describe yourselves?
Laid back and
never take life to seriously.
Who
are your main influences musically?
I wouldn't say
anyone influences me musically! I like musicians like Jimi Hendrix, Billy
Corgan, Jack White and so on but I don't aspire to be like them or sound like them....
My music comes
from sitting down with a guitar and playing whatever melody pops in my head
and taking it from there. If you listen to our songs this is clearly the case
as we don't aspire to a "sound" that has been influenced like other
bands where all of our tracks sound similar! Where's the fun in that? And what a
boring mould to set yourself in! I know it's commercially viable to do this so
record companies can pigeon hole you to a genre and sell you as a product but
conforming to the norm is far to dull for me so I say write whatever music you
want in whatever style you want and if its good people will like it, music is
expression and creativity not a product to manufacture and sell....
What
do you hope to achieve in music?
To have people
listen and genuinely connect to the songs! Can't ask for more than that :)
What
has been the highlight of your career so far, and why?
Meeting people
who have found us online and come to see us play at shows. We were genuinely shocked to see that people liked the music enough to come and catch a live
show.
And
what’s the moment you want to forget?
Nothing so far
its all been a blast.
If
you had to choose just one of your songs to represent your music, what would it
be and why?
I'd choose Hands Dance Hands as it has a great message of getting out there
and living for the moment but sharing that with someone as you never know when
its over. That represents
our music as that's how we are in general and our overall approach to our
band!
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?
Yeah, come give
us a listen if you fancy something fresh n a bit different :)
