They've been so kind, to yes to do this interview for us and the blog, and so that you guys can read it, and maybe learn some more facts about the band or maybe even get to know a new band!
****
1;
When did you get into music?
Well I know that I was brought up with
music all around me. My parents had a very diverse taste in music with my Dad
being very much into his classic rock from the 60’s and 70’s. Compared to my
Mum, who was much more into her 80’s New Romantic and mainstream music. But I
really started developing my own music taste when I was about 11 or 12, when
bands like Finch and Linkin Park were at the top of their games.
2;
How do you guys know each other?
Dave, Nick, Joe and I have been in and
out of bands with each other since we were 14. Dave was in a band with my
younger brother for a little while before he started playing with us. And then,
Dan was introduced to a few of the lads through some friends when they were
looking for a drummer.
3;
When was the first time you were performing?
The first show we played was at a local bar supporting some of the very good friends of ours in Buenos Aires. We then went through a few changes line-up wise about a year later and are now a five piece band. Playing our first show with Essex based post-hardcore band Shadows Chasing Ghosts.

5; Who are your influences?
Across the five of us we have a huge range of influences, but we also have a core base of bands that all of us listen to. While She Sleeps are a big band that we’re all fans of, but Of Mice and Men, Alexisonfire, Bring Me The Horizon, Bury Tomorrow, Emarosa, A Day to Remember, Dead and Divine and The Devil Wears Prada have all influenced us in one way or another.
6; What's your all time favorite album?
I can only talk about this from a personal point of view, but my favourite album of all time would have to be by Bryan Adams. The album ‘So Far So Good’ was basically the CD I was brought up on for as long as I can remember.

8; What is your favorite animal?
A
Liger, it’s pretty much my favourite animal, bred for its skills in magic.
9; What is your absolutely favorite thing to do in the summer?
9; What is your absolutely favorite thing to do in the summer?
I have two things that I like to do during the summer,
go on holiday and enjoy the sun as much as I can or to get out on tour as much
as we can. It’s one the things you have to do
as a band and I genuinely enjoy doing it.
10; Do you have anything exciting coming up in the near future?
We have lots of things coming up in the next few weeks. We released our new EP on the 3rd February 2012 and will spend the best part of the summer playing shows up and down the UK in support of it. We have big plans for late 2012 or early 2013 where we want to get across to Europe and try and play a few shows. Apart from that, we have a new music video coming in the next few weeks which we’re all very excited about.
11; Do you have any advice to people who want to make music but maybe is unsure of it?
The best advice we can give to anyone who wants to be in a band is to make sure you really love what you’re doing. So much time and effort needs to go into being in a band, so make sure it’s something you really want to do before you go throwing all your time and money at it.
