What are your
main influences musically?
It's a difficult question because a lot of the time it feels like personality plays more of a part in this band, as opposed to musical influence and/or prowess. It would be easy to reel off a bunch of bands, or musical styles, but in fairness it's not really gonna get either of us anywhere, is it?

What do you
hope to achieve in music?
To show people that the real music exists beyond what is fucking fed to them on a convenient level, and that new shit shouldn't just be a slightly dressed up/down version of the past. Also, designer haircuts fucking suck, in music or otherwise!

And what’s the
moment you want to forget?
Bits I want to forget are forgotten, and hence I can't remember any for you now. Plus some bad times are good to remember regardless. Makes you appreciate when the roads smooth out.

you’d like to say about your band that forgot to ask?
Next month we're recording our next album in LA with Ross Robinson, and our concentration is all on that at the minute. We'll be back on the road again soon though, and if we ain't playing a town near enough to where we wanna be heard, be sure to let us know!
