What was the experience like?

Big Chris: Incredible.  His ability to home in on what we wanted was fantastic.

Neil: Yea he was very professional, and worked extremely hard.

You play a lot of gigs in a loads of different towns and cities up and down the country. What’s the response been like?

Big Chris: Usually get a great response, I think people can tell when a band play half assed and that’s something we'd hate to do.

How did you meet and go on to form the band?

Big Chris: We all met through recommendation and it all worked out perfectly yey!

What’s been the highlight so far?

Big Chris: There’s been many.  Playing with Hell is for Heroes or doing our first headline tours, which have been a great success so far.     

Neil: I think definitely the last year has been the biggest highlight for me.  The gigs have been amazing and the recording was an awesome experience.      

What music are you listening to at the moment?

Big Chris: Loads..... At the Drive In, Brand New, Biffy Clyro, Reuben, Deftones etc.

Neil. Kate Bush mostly, loving John Frusciantes new album!

Where do you get your inspiration?

Big Chris: Absolutely everything.  Just anything that happens or something I read, or sometimes just thin air haha.

What’s your dream collaboration?

Big Chris: If you mean producers there a few I'd love to work with.  For example; Rich Costy, Colin Richardson, we definitely work with Jason Wilcock again.

If you’re talking musicians there are tons, like Omar Rodrigez Lopez, Matt Bellamy, Simon Neil etc

Neil: I absolutely love to play with bands like the Chili Peppers and the Mars Volta, obviously that’s a bit far off but we all have dreams!
